1. The Ball Bearing


In this practical joke, you take a small metal ball bearing and place it inside the hub cap of your victim’s tire. When the victim gets in his car and begins to drive, the ballbearing will bounce around making all kinds of racket. As the victim’s car gains momentum, the centrifugal force of the tire will cause the ballbearing to stay put and there will be no noise. Then as the victim slows down, the ball bearing will break free from the centrifugal force and begin making a loud racket all over again.

2. Alarm Clocks


Take about 10 alarm clocks or watches. Set the first alarm clock to go off at 3:00 am, then set the other alarm clocks to go off at various times after 3:00 am. For example, you might have one go off at 3:28 am, then another go off at 4:03 am.

Go to your victim’s bedroom and hide the alarm clocks throughout the room in various hiding places. Be sure that they aren’t covered too much though, or they won’t wake up your vicitim.

That morning, your victim will wake up at 3:00 am, then every other time a new clock goes off.

3. The Cubicle Spider


If you work in an office cubicle, you most likely have friends that work in adjoining cubes. Next time you are at work, go to the other side of the friend’s cube and toss a tiny fake spider over the edge of their cube so in lands in front of them.

To create the fake spider:
1. Get a small piece of paper and fold it up.
2. Take a rubber band and cut four strips.
3. Lay these strips over the piece of paper and stable them.
4. You should have a piece of paper with 8 rubber band legs.
5. Get a black marker and color your fake spider black.

Enjoy hearing your victim jerk back from their desk as your tiny fake spider lands in front of their monitor from above.

4. Dog Biscuit Hors D’oeuvres


If you are hosting a party with chips, fingerfoods, and other hors d’oeuvres, then this is the perfect opportunity to play this practical joke. Take a nice plate and arrange small doggy treats on it. Be sure to choose treats that look like wrapped fingerfoods (not milkbone buscuits). Serve them to your guest and watch their facial expression as they chew on a doggy treat.

It’s probably a good idea to serve some real refreshments first, before attempting this joke. This way your guest will not suspect anything different.

Some men may not know or do not have the slightest idea if
a woman is ready to be kissed. These men may be sitting
beside their dates talking too much they suddenly realize
how the lips of their dates are so kissable.

Their imagination will then take control, but this would
also mean disaster if done wrong. This may often leave
these men without a second chance for another date with the
woman.

If a guy finds himself talking to a girl and wondering if
she’s ready to be kissed, he may softly touch her hair and
give a compliment about it.

If the girl shows a favorable reaction, this may be a sign
of getting closer to a kiss. Get closer and try reaching
for her hair again.

Touch the hair tips and simply gaze on her lips and eyes.
The fact that she does not mind about you getting closer to
her is a sign that she is comfortable. This is a sign for a
guy to go and kiss the girl.

Some guys try to go out on an adventurous date in order to
make the kissing move more suave and natural. One
particular example is a guy who usually takes a girl to a
small boat ride on a river.

Upon sailing along the river, he happens to direct the boat
to a place covered with trees and fireflies - truly a
romantic place to kiss.

A guy can also take her date to some ancient ruins in a
local spot and manage to spend time walking until dark.
These ruins usually light up at night.

The guy can take his date to the top of the ruins where
they can see the city all beautifully lit up. This is when
the guy should make a move and kiss his date.

Viagra. That one word packs a lot of punch. Let’s face it; there is little that has been derided more than Viagra. On the talk shows, it has been the butt of more jokes than Michael Jackson and Saddam Hussein combined. For example:

(OK, OK. I admit I was going to share an example or two, but I couldn’t find any clean enough to pass my censor’s well-trained eyes.)

Of course, if you are not laughing yet from the jokes you could imagine I might have told, it may be because you are so fed up of receiving offers for Viagra in your email inbox, right up there with the prospect of enhancing body parts you didn’t even know you owned. In fact, you may even be convinced that spam was invented just to deliver the Viagra industry’s message to your personal desktop.

Can anything good come from Viagra?

As a matter of fact, yes. Scientists have actually found a benefit from Viagra (No, I am not talking about experimenting in their labs.) Apparently Viagra is good for the environment.

It took a lot of work and several failed attempts to reach this conclusion. First, the scientists tried to use Viagra as an additive to revive lakes that were dying from acid rain. Unfortunately, it raised the lake’s body temperature and fried the fish.

Then they tried using Viagra to replace polluting dry cleaner chemicals, but clothes came back too rigid to wear: “Hey, how come my fleece isn’t soft anymore?” “I thought I told you not to starch my collars.” “Ouch!”

The researchers tried feeding Viagra to swine, cattle, and chickens, hoping to replace feed sources that now consume vast areas of land. However, the farm animals wouldn’t touch the stuff. The cockroaches, however, found it energizing, and before long there were very few barns left.

Next they decided to see if Viagra could be used as a low-polluting fuel to heat homes in the winter. That option looked promising … until airplanes started hitting the rising chimney stacks. Oops.

Then the scientists tried offering Viagra to all the taxi drivers who insisted on idling their polluting engines between fares. Unfortunately, it seems that most cab drivers preferred idling to anything Viagra could do for them (which may explain the way they drive.)

Finally, the researchers have discovered that Viagra can save endangered species. This is no joke - check the wire services on the Internet. In fact, a paper published recently by researchers at the University of Alaska and the University of New South Wales reveals that the trade in exotic body parts used as aphrodisiacs has fallen dramatically since Viagra hit the market.

Rhinos love this, because poachers had made them almost extinct, killing them for the horn, so sought-after by the lovelorn, and leaving the carcass behind. Reindeer feel more secure about their antlers now, too, since the velvet coverings are in less demand. And you may already have noticed fewer seals walking around town with their legs crossed, as the price for their private parts has fallen 72 percent.

Others who are thrilled about this great scientific discovery include sea horses, pipefish, elk and the ever beloved sea cucumber. I am still not sure whether that last one is a joke.

So, is Viagra the butt of countless jokes or the scourge of the Internet? If you look for silver linings, it is neither. It is the savior of endangered species. Now that I’ve helped clear that up for you, what else do you deride? What else upsets you? Can you find a silver lining? I’m sure you can. If Viagra is a good thing, can there be anything bad?

Get your Remote control cars - seriously they are the most awesome christmas present, all kids love em. I brought 4 last year - one for each of the kids and 2 for a nephew and cousin! Everyone loved them.

I personally opt for the petrol cars - but they are a bit more of an adult toy - so I have one for me but I usually buy kids high end electric rc cars, because they are nearly as fast as the petrol radio controlled - but without the chance of the kid spilling petrol anywhere or having to pull the pull cord and not being able to. Electric remote control cars are a bit cleaner to be honest.

This year I got the kids new ones - these ones go nearly 40mph - electric remote control cars that go 40mph? thats mad - you should see the yard, the boy has even managed to master the drifting in gravel so he can drift around everywhere!

Scottish Pet Portraits Patch

A Scottish Collie

It seems as if I’ve always had dogs around; in my work as a pet portrait artist, under my feet or occupying my favourite chair at home. And also in memories stretching way back into the mists of time, by which, for the curious and the literal, I mean the sixties.
The first dog I can remember as a toddler was called Bonzo (yes, well, I told you it was a long time ago and I think it was probably quite a fashionable name at the time). He was a mutt, no doubt about it; brown, white and orange, and I used to sleep on the stairs with him. Then came Jock, named after my father, who didn’t live with us at the time. He had a rough coat, and I suppose was part terrier (no, not my dad, please concentrate).
Later, when I had my own dogs, there was Snooky, who was a collie with a terrier head, then Gub-Gub with the beautiful tail, named after Dr. Doolittle’s pig because I liked the name. She was actually a Welsh Collie, fast and slim, and nothing like a pig.
Then there was a Labrador cross, also called Snooky. My wife was for calling her Lib-Lab but I vetoed that. Keep politics out of the kennel, I say. And finally there came Snooky’s favourite daughter Bugle (loudest in the litter) and little scruffy Pebbles, who was really my wife’s dog. The last two are still with us. So you can see that I know about dogs, or so I thought before we acquired Patch.

Patch is a Border Collie. He is not aggressive; in fact he is very lovable and quite gentle with our other two dogs, as long as they know who’s the boss and as long as they do as they’re telt, and fast, like. Ken? (Well, he is a Scot!). I have to admit that Patch is a puzzle. If he doesn’t want to do a thing, he won’t. It’s as simple as that. He can’t be tricked, flattered or scolded into doing something, because he’s not that easily impressed.
But there are ways to manage him. If you want him to follow you; walk away. You know, like the Horse Whisperer. It’s not because he doesn’t relate; he really loves us and he is obedient in his own way. He will sit, go down, give either paw and ‘talk’. He just doesn’t see the point of doing something he doesn’t want to, all right?

He has plenty of the legendary energy and intelligence of the finest sheepdog in the world. I usually take a tennis racquet and ball on our walks in the woods to try, in my optimistic way, to tire him out. We live in a hilly, and fairly wild part of the Highlands, and I only have to say to him, “Patch, that way”, or even just point, and he’ll be there, waiting for the ball, whether it’s up the brae or across a burn.
And yet, for all his intelligence and boldness, he is sensitive and easily frightened. At the first hint of a raised or angry voice (it wouldn’t be mine, you understand), he goes to pieces and hides…
Yes, our boy is difficult at times, but always fascinating, and I don’t have to tell you that we love him to bits.

He was a gash and faithful tyke
As ever lap a sheugh or dyke;
His honest, sonsie, baws’nt face
Aye gat him friends in ilka place.

His breast was white, his towsie back
Weel clad wi’ coat o’ glossy black,
His gaucie tail wi’ upward curl
Hung o’er his hurdies wi’ a swirl.
The Twa Dogs
Robert Burns

Gash = wise sheugh = ditch sonsie = cute bawsn’t = striped like a badger towsie = shaggy gaucie = large hurdies = hips

Six months ago my Patch died, and I have to learn to get along without him. I now have a Border Collie pup crossed with Something Else. He has none of the nervousness of Patch. He is a friend to all the world. And yet…and yet…If he doesn’t want to do something…
We do not forget, but we move on.

The American Heart Association has proved that laughing reduces your heart problems, as the circulation of blood becomes smooth. In fact, laughing reduces nearly 40% of your health problems.

Try to change your attitude towards life because most of the times you spend time thinking about your past. Instead of that recall the moments of your life that brought pure joy to your heart. Naturally you will feel good. Similarly, when you begin laughing, it soothes your mind and you feel good.

You may have experienced many practical jokes in your real life in the classrooms, offices or even at home. Always store them in your mind and laugh out whenever you feel you need it in order to relieve your tension.

There are innumerous ways to induce laughing. You can watch television and enjoy the comedy scenes like tripping, falling, skidding which are extremely comic. Even the comic books will help you in these cases. Sometimes it so happens that when you are watching the comedy scenes on the small screen, you begin to recollect funny memories and begin laughing even more.
Laughter is an amazing stress-fighting therapy. It relaxes your muscles and clears your mind. We many a times take life very seriously but if we discover laughter in the midst, then we will always be happy. Pack your life with laughter always.
