I found this on another newsgroup.
Someone said as a prank, pour unflavoured gelatin in a friend's (or enemy's) toilet bowl and stir. it can't be flushed, and it looks just like water. Imagine the scenarios. Is this true? |

Gelatin takes a long time to get thick when mixed with cold water.

On Wed 25 Jan 2006 03:41:42a, Thus Spake Zarathustra, or was it ?
I found this on another newsgroup. Someone said as a prank, pour unflavoured gelatin in a friend's (or enemy's) toilet bowl and stir. it can't be flushed, and it looks just like water. Imagine the scenarios. Is this true? Anything's possible. It takes 1 envelope of unflavored gelatin to congeal 2 cups of liquid. You'll need quite a bit to congeal a toilet bowl full of water. Works best if you soften the gelatin in a bit of cold water, then dissolve it in boiling water before adding it to the larger amount of cold water. -- Wayne Boatwright Õ¿Õ¬ ________________________________________ Okay, okay, I take it back!

try it at your home first, sure it wouldnt flush so the water entering
the bowl will spill over and take down the cieling below. I LOVE jokes but this isnt a safe one! Other day I intentially poured some water under a buddies hot water tank,unfortunately he forgot something, returned and caught me in the act. the tank is 6 year one on its 13th year in service.... due to blow at any moment |

![]() They both worked for Goodyear Aerospace. he asked everyone to comment his friend joe looked ill, sck etc. poor fellow got so concerned at comments he went to see plant nurse, who sent him immediately to his doctor, who put him right in the hospital for tests, this was years ago when they still put people in the hospital..... well he was back to work a week later, and got @$# when he was told it was just one of jim hallers jokes. sadly my dad and his best friend never spoke again, and its been like 25 years ![]() A joke is a joke and I LOVE pulling them but its important no one gets hurt. I prefer to be on site so things dont get carried away! If this discussion continues I will tell about my one time auto mechanic Rick, lets just say I evened the score ![]() |

He called a mother, said he was a guidance counselor at her son's school, and told her they'd discovered that her son was a heterosexual. The woman didn't know what the word meant, so she freaked out completely. :-) Now that's funny !!!!! When I was in my teens, on April fools day I waited till my parents went to bed. Then I put scotch tape on one prong of every electrical thing in the house and plugged them back in. Everything except the refrigerator. I left that plugged in, but substituted a buzzer for the lightbulb inside, using a screw in socket adaptor. I also put saran wrap in the bathroom and kitchen sink strainers. Then I waited for them to get up. First it was the kitchen faucet that did not work, then The coffer maker did not work, the tv did not work as well as my dads razor and the radio. When mom opened the refrigerator and that loud buzzer went off, she freaked. When dad went to the fusebox, there was a note inside that said "APRIL FOOL". He proceeded to tighten all the fuses and went to the water meter thinking I had shut off the water. There he found another note that said "APRIL FOOL". That's when he had a "family talk" with me. He acted mad, but weeks later he admitted it was pretty funny. Mom on the other hand did not thing any of it was funny. So, I proceeded to remove all the tape and saran wrap. I was finishing about the time dad went out to start the car, and came back in the house cussing. Then he asked me where I hid the coil wire from the car. I grinned and told him to read the back of the APRIL FOOL sign under the hood...... Several years later when I got my own car, I went out to the car on April 1, and could not get the key in the foor lock. I removed the scotch tape, and found the ignition key would not go in the hole. Yep, more tape. I removed the tape and turned the ignition. Bothing happened. I opened the hood and found a sign that said "APRIL FOOL" next to the battery and saw the battery cable removed. I put it back on and got in the car. The car cranked, but would not start. Sure enough, the coil; wire was gone. Thet's when I noticed dad laughing his butt off by the window, and when I remembered what I did. I looked at the back of the sign, and it said "coil wire under front seat". I guess he got back at me.... But thats not the end. When I came home that evening I went to my room and turned on my tv. It didn't work. Neither did my stereo. That's when I foind the "APRIL FOOL" sign by the outlet, and proceeded to remove scotch tape. This sort of things seemed to happen every year after that, It was all pretty funny, and mom just did her best to cope. I know she had fun too, because she was always telling our relatives aboutit, and they would always ask me what I planned to do next year. Some of them even started doing some of this silliness, and one of them rigged up a coil from a car to the bottom of a chair with a flashlight battery and everyone got to test that goofy thing out. My best prank on them was a few years later when I connected their tv to one of those Radio Shack remote control power modules. This was before they had a tv with a remote and had to manually turn the set on. They could not understand why the tv went off everytime they sat on the couch, but would come back on everytime they got off the couch. I had a walkie talkie under the couch with the reansmit button taped down, so I could hear when they sat down or got up, and I just pushed the on-off button on the remote accordingly. All of it was harmless fun, Those were the good old days !!! |

I don't think the gelatin will set up for a long time. I was in a contest
where we had to jump into an above ground pool full of Jell-O looking for a key. The Jell-O was about 70 or 75 degrees, and it still wasn't starting to set up when they finally drained the pool. wrote in message ups.com... try it at your home first, sure it wouldnt flush so the water entering the bowl will spill over and take down the cieling below.

One year a friend/roommate of mine (who worked nights) made a date for
the next afternoon to go out with his new girlfriend who he was trying desperately to impress. Just before his alarm was set to go off we turned it off and set every time keeping device in the house (including his pocket watch and the microwave) forward 4 hours... poke, poke "Hey dude, weren't you supposed to do something today?" He was on the phone apologizing to his very confused girlfriend for about five minutes before she figured out what he was babbling about and told him what time it was. We nearly wet ourselves at the look on his face... This works especially well because the victim is just waking up, but only if they are supposed to get up in the afternoon or very late at night, so they can't tell the difference easily from the light coming through the windows. |

I want to hear that one! My mechanics are constantly razzing their
customers. Time for the big wheel to turn..... In pennsylavania theres the annual safety inspection. My mechanic reported necessary repairs would be 3 grand, I nearly died. then he started laughing and said he was shocked it passed inspection. good one he pulled on me ![]() Well a month later I took my vehicle in for repairs. He said lets go for a test drive. ended up at his home, the building inspector was there. he had illegally dumped some dirt mixed with building debris behind his house for fill. he brown nosed the building inspector, the possible fine was 1500 bucks. It took a month, got a gal at work to call him, identifying herself with the building inspectorrs office, said we have photos of additional dumping, your fine is reinstated, and you now owe over 5000 bucks. I listened in with the phone covered, rick my mechanic was going nuts ![]() Finally uncovered phone and started laughing. he was !@@#%$ Found out later his boss was afraid he would have heart attack, since his face turned brite red, and he was shaking bad. since then all jokes are always pulled with me present, so they dont get out of hand. i love a good joke just like my dad |

Vicki freakin' flipped out. I thought she was going to **** her pants
right there. So the tape is saying "Vicki, this is my mind.." blah blah blah... "go in the back room Vicki", so he leads her into the back where ten of us are just busting a gut over the whole thing. It took her a while to figure out what the hell was going on! Blond ? nope. |

The hospital wasn't really a mental hospital, but this part of the local hospital treated mental patients. However, it seemed a lot more "medical" that what you get at a real mental hospital.

I hadn't seen a mental hospital at that time, but what was shown in that movie looked like what I'd expect, considering all the stories I heard about them (even lobotomies and ECT as "punishment"). BTW, I remember hearing that the inventor of the lobotomy is the only person ever to receive a Nobel Prize for the treatment of mental illness.

Interesting how these things evolve. This whole thread really belongs in
AFU. The standard version of the story is that the guy driving the cement mixer decides to show up unannounced at home for lunch. As he approaches the house, he sees a new convertible pull up to the house and the guy driving it goes inside. So our friend dumps his load of cement all over the car and then, after he cools off a bit, he goes back to the cement factory and confesses to his boss about what he did. His boss is sympathetic and doesn't dock his wages for the load of cement. When he finally gets home, he finds that his wife bought him a convertible for his birthday and the salesman was dropping it off at his house. wrote in message oups.com...
