When I was in college, one professor used to smoke cigarettes while he
taught. Which was painful to me, as I'm allergic. He'd look in the
trash can, and find something for an ash tray. Piece of paper, or soda
can. I got the brilliant idea to put some flash powder in a dry pop
can, and leave in the trash can. He'd put still-lit cigarettes into
the pop can. I got the idea, but never did try it. I really should
have.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of gasoline in the fire
extinguisher.

Turn about is fair play but outsmarting smart-asses causes them to
hate you and they waste countless hours trying to get back at you.
I love pranks but draw the line at anything destructive or something
that could possibly cause someone harm, like the old gasoline in the
fire extinguisher gag. When I worked in a repair depot so many years
ago, our individual work benches had a master switch to kill the
power to the various magnifier lamps, test gear and soldering
stations.
One of my coworkers was a REAL gun nut. He had guns everywhere. He had
at least two on him at any time so I couldn't resist. I painted his
soldering iron with liquid flux then coated it with gun powder. He
came into work that day in a foul mood growling at everything in
sight,
slammed down what he was carrying on his work bench, flipped on the
power switch and we all cringed expecting him to go berserk and shoot
everyone in sight. After 10 seconds a big flash and puff of smoke
came from his soldering iron, he jumped up and screamed like a woman
in a monster movie then started giggling. After that he was OK and in
a
good mood the rest of the day. See, pranks can be therapeutic! 8-)
