I have with out a doubt a very good feeling that most of you have a good sense of humor and at one time or another have pranked a fellow co worker, or been pranked yourself.

These are just some of the things I have thought about today.

When ever SWAT would train in a domestic environment, i.e abandoned houses, sometimes the exits would get hammered shut so when SWAT was in there, and suddenly all these gas canisters and other less lethal things go off, they REALLY fight like hell to get out. I don't think I am explaining the situation very well, but hearing it told from the right person, is funny as shit.

Sgt, who is a team member here, once convinced a officer that his glock 22 was actually a left handed glock. And this Officer got so fired up and upset that they sent him a left handed glock. "Must have gotten mixed up in the Blue Lable purchase". He calls Glock and demands to know why they supplied him with a left handed glock. And this is with TWO OTHER OFFICERS in front of him, holding out THEIR SAME WEAPON, saying "look, see how yours is different than ours, yours is left handed"
I died laughing.


One time I was pranked, My FTO told me to go do a check on this car. Long story short, guys in the car were assholes, I am ready to start yanking people out, When they realized I was getting serious thats when everyone started laughing. I guess it was some of his friends who had come to the city and he was testing me out on them. I guess I passed. lol.



These may not seem so funny reading them online, but they were sure as shit funny when they went down.


Oh, another funny moment, wasn't a prank, but it is the highlight so far
My FTO and I pulled over this vehicle, long story short, convicted felon, FIP of loaded jennings 9mm. He is cuffed, on the ground, talking shit, (like always) and the first and last word out of his mouth, with ever sentence was "nigga" For instance "nigga, this is some bullshit, you kno that pistol aint mine, damn nigga" These types of statements came from him for about 15 min. Finally he gets really irate he says "nigga, you let me out these cuffs and I bet I whoop that ass, real talk nigga"

My FTO looked strait at me and says "When did my name become "nigga"?"

And guy on the ground in cuffs goes "watch yo mouth nigga"


I still laugh my ass off today thinking about that story. It was just one of those moments that I cant depict through a computer screen.


Last one, I have herd stories of one officer secretly double locking another officers cuffs and putting them back in the belt. I think you can see the problem that could cause. Though it's a very dangerous thing to do I would imagine. I'm pretty sure everyone checks their cuffs before they go to work now. lol It might be funny to do in training, but doing that in the real world could get someone hurt.


Thats about all I can think of. Feel free to share yours. Or if this is a dupe, let me know. I am sure there are a bunch of stories out there I would love to hear.

Not done to me (thank god) but when the weather is nice like in the spring or fall, a coworker on mids bought some live crickets from a bait store at the beginning of a shift. He met up with an adjoining beat officer at a Tom Thumb (c store) later that night and was shooting the sh*t with him when the officer goes in to refill his coffee (left his car un-locked). Coworker dumps the container of crickets under the passenger seat. Officer leaves and has crickets chirping in his car all night long. Officer vacums car, but crickets had gotten further up into the seat and into whatever other nooks and crannies in the car. He drove around for three midnight shifts with the intermittent sounds of crickets chirping. He was somewhat annoyed. (If it was done in the summer, the daytime heat is believed to kill them thats why spring/fall works best according to the prankster)

I woke up today with two bags of earl grey on my forehead. Revenge will be mine and it will be as sweet as honey.

My favorite that I came up with. Works great.

1. Get a Cabbage Patch or other life sized doll.
2. Tie a hangmans loop around its neck.
3. Tie the bitter end of the line to the rear bumper. Make sure to leave about three feet of slack.
4. Toss Doll under car and wait.
5. How many of your Pre-Shift vehicle checks include looking under the car?? See where I'm going??

Now just sit back and let the hillarity ensue as your Mark drives away and freaks everyone out.

This is usually best done on either an Uarked Car, or someone's POV.

You're welcome.

Uh-oh... the Captain of the Fun Prevention Unit is on location...

Packets of cool-aid in turnout boots. Sweaty socks soak up the color and dye a persons feet.

Wrap the muffler in foil.
Wrap the outside of the foil with Bologna.
Wrap the outside of the Bologna with wire to keep it on there.

The foil heats up the bologna and stinks to high heaven. The foil keeps it from messing anything up.

Took longer than I expected for him to show up.

Screwing with guys TOG is a no-no in our department. Just about everything else is fair game though.

A partial film can of gunpowder in an ashtray can liven things up. 'specially if they same guy falls for it twice in one week
