I have always liked to pull practical jokes on people. Nothing destructive, just small things for fun.
When I was working, I ran large lathes for a metals plant. One of the machines would occasionally shut down, something electrical would need to be reset, meaning you had to call an electrician. (labor unions, ain't they great?). My foreman at the time always had a coke in his hand, we used to get them in a cup with ice out of the coke machine. One afternoon right after I started work at that machine, it quit. So I went into the office to tell the boss to call an electrician, or someone like him. He said that you can sometimes wiggle the handles and it will start. I said I already tried that. So he came out to the machine, coke cup in hand to try himself. It didn't work, so he left to call the electrician. I thought I would have a snack out of my lunch while I was waiting. I had some chocolate pudding in my lunch, so I pulled that out and started eating it. I turned around and found that the foreman had set his coke cup on the tool shelf behind my machine. I had a flash of insight how I could make his coke taste better. Soo, I took a big spoon of chocolate pudding and dropped it into his coke. I honestly thought some of it would float, but it sank immediately to the bottom of the cup. Not a trace showed on top. Immediately after that he remembered where he left it and came back to retrieve his coke and left. It happened so fast, I never had a chance to tell him, not that I would have anyway. I waited a couple of hours to give him time to get back to the office from his rounds. I went into the office and I asked him how he liked the coke? LOL. He looked at me wide eyed and yelled "you son of a b---ch! I was laughing so hard I just about peed my pants. He started laughing too and said "you can't imagine the feeling you get when you tip the cup up to get the last drop, and there is a big glob of brown stuff sliding towards your face."
