  4. Call a sweet little old lady, tell her you’re a phone lineman and that she shouldn’t answer the phone for the next ten minutes because you’ll be working on the line and there’s a danger of electrocution. Call her back every few minutes until she picks up, and then SCREAM.

I didn’t pull that one, but heard of friends who did.

  5. “Herro, mista Wing there? No? errr… maybe Mista Wong? No? Sorry, musta wing wong numba!”

Of course, to bunch of 10 year old, this was the most hilarious prank call ever.

Yes, that’s my story too and I’m sticking to it. What is the statute of limitations on abusing the phone system. Those WKRP phone cops are everywhere! LOL

  6. When the phone rings answer “Hello, this is Buddy the Elf! What’s your favorite color?”

Okay, so I did that one a month ago. Sue me. I’m still a kid at heart.

Commentary

I believe one that was also featured in Paul Zindel’s The Pigman. I’m pretty sure that’s where I got the idea as well.

(Okay, that’s a prank call Bart Simpson made as a kid. But in the interest of moving this along… :slight_smile:

we could fill the category 10 times over with Bart pranks

No doubt, but given how slowly this thing is moving, I figured people wouldn’t mind. :stuck_out_tongue:

(I didn’t do phone pranks as a kid. Maybe I’m not the only one!)

Yes, another Bart Simpson one. I didn’t make prank phone calls as a kid either. Another vote to move it along.

  10. “Hi, I really need to reach my son Mike. Last name Hunt. He needs to call home”

Borrowed from Porky’s. The September after I graduated from University, my buddies and I decided we needed to prank our new replacements at the student’s association so during FROSH week I called into their office hotline during a huge event that included a sleepover on campus.

A couple weeks later we ran into some friends who told us that all the facilitators were searching buildings, waking people up, and paging over the PAs for Mike Hunt.
It was actually one of our friends that caught the joke (and even suspected me!), but still some didn’t believe him and kept looking.

I see the book came out in 1968. I heard about the prank in the early Seventies, so that sounds about right.

My brother went to school with Mike Hunt.

Another “didn’t do it myself, but knew of it being done” one.

Stupid, life-threatening things we did as kids

  1. Emulated Evel Knievel for years by building varying ramps and trying to see as far and high I could jump. Sans helmet, of course.

  3. Climbed metal monkeybars, the ones with little spots of jagged rust because they hadn’t been tended in a while; and jumped down from the top to land on loose gravel or hard uneven ground.
