A practical joke or prank is a stunt or trick to purposely make someone feel foolish or victimized, usually for humor. Practical jokes differ from confidence tricks in that the victim finds out, or is let in on, the joke rather than being fooled into handing over money or other valuables. Since pranks are made to make people feel foolish or victimized, there is an inherent strain of cruelty in most practical jokes. There is a thin line between practical jokes and hooliganism, bullying, vandalism and sadism. The term "practical" refers to the fact that the joke consists of someone doing something (a practice), rather than a verbal or written joke. A practical joke can be caused by the victim falling for a prank, the victim stumbling into a prank, the prankster forcing a prank on the victim, the prankster causing others to do something to the victim, or even causing the victim to do something to others. Sometimes more than one victim is used. In Western culture, April Fools' Day is a day traditionally dedicated to performing practical jokes. Another day common for pranks and practical jokes is Halloween, in the form of trick or treating. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I work in a restaurant and we have decided to keep April Fools going the entire month. What are some good pranks to play on each other and customers? Asked by RON - Thu Apr 9 02:01:40 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I wouldn't care if you tried to pull the McDonald's "Big Mac" rap... Nevermind, that's between you and your friends. Do not, however, spit or put other bodily fluids in another co-worker's or customer's food. Chances are, you will get caught and could possibly face charges. I wouldn't want that on my record. Or anything else for that matter. I believe what goes around comes around. Just think about what kind of prank you WILL pull, and ponder: "What if that were to happen to me? Would I want someone's body-business in my food?" Answered by Bite Me - Thu Apr 9 02:16:24 2009 What are some good pranks to pull on friends? Q.

Q. I really need help but anything will do i just need a fair idea of how i will start my speech for school. It is about my friend that pulls pranks and takes a lot of risks. Asked by Niaa - Tue Oct 14 21:16:07 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. it depends on how you are going to speak. here's how I would do it. speak in a conversational manner (meaning you only put brief notes on a note-card, you dont rehearse as much, and let your words flow a little more on-the-fly), and for the beginning of the speech, cite a story of a prank, that you saw, were involved in, or were a victim of, that went wrong. it could also work if he took a risk that was too much and wound up really hurting him in the long run. if you have something like that you can put in at the beginning, and do it well, than you will have them hooked for the rest of your speech. if not, saying something about the old "its all fun and games", may also work.
