I don‘t quite know why it is called that. Anyway..
The victim is on the pot in the dorm washroom. Everyone grabs a bucket (we used the waste baskets from our rooms) and fills the buckets with water. Take a paper bag and set it on fire, toss it under the door into the stall. Yell fire as everyone tosses the water into the stall. Needless to say the fire as well as the victim get very wet.This one fellow in the house was hit a number of times and took to relieving himself in other locals. We followed him a couple of times and nailed him in many parts of the residence.
Later of course we conspired with our victim to get back at the original instigator of the drill. The guy in the stall had a bucket of water, and when the the instigator tossed the bag in we all hit him.
- Pick a victim. Keep warning your victim that April Fools‘ Day is coming. Talk about a few great practical jokes, starring yourself as the joker. Develop an evil chuckle, if possible. When April Fools‘ Day comes, smile secretively every time you see your victim. You won‘t need to do anything else - your victim‘s nerves will already be totally shot. Heh, heh, heh.
- Got a sound sleeper in your midst? Get a roll of cling wrap (or package sealing shrink wrap) and secure the sleeper into place. When he/she wakes up he/she won‘t be able to move. Note: Covering the victim’s face is not recommended as they may never wake up again.
It is common for draftsmen to sprinkle SCUMEX (powdered rubber eraser) on tracings prior to doing any drawing on it. This reduces smearing of the pencil marks and such and results in a cleaner tracing.
At a former employers we had replaced the Scumex at one draftsmans desk with dried parmesian cheese. It looked about the same. It was extremely interesting watching him draw for a while and then begin to smell the paper. Took the poor dude almost 10 minutes to guess that he had been gigged!
Fill a large brown envelope about 70% with shaving foam.
Close over the flap but don‘t seal it.
Place it part way, flap first under a friends door and call them to get it.
When you hear them walking towards it, jump on the back end of the envelope and shaving foam will spray everywhere.
