"LOTTERY FAKEOUT" (#63)

"LOTTERY FAKEOUT" (#63)


Tape-Record the previous week’s lottery drawing, then buy a ticket with the winning numbers from that week. At the next regularly scheduled showing of the lottery drawing, sit down to watch the draw with your friends/spouse, but secretly play the VCR tape of last weeks numbers so it appears that you’ve won the big prize. Just about the time when they start asking you to call the lottery commission, let them know what’s up and watch their joy turn to sorrow.
Always good for a laugh. These days you could use the CD-player, or any other new-fangled recording device...!

"JELLO IN COMODE" (#62)

"JELLO IN COMODE" (#62)
This is a common gag from many years ago, so it probably will not be remembered ! Always good for a laugh & conversation.

I’ve found over the years that this practical joke is best done at parties, or anywhere that people can take a joke !
To pull this prank, simply dump a packet of gelatin (Jell-O is a brand name, but you can use any brand you can find) into the recipients’ toilet and wait. It’s best if you do this nice and early in the evening so that the stuff has time to harden up before the first victim arrives, otherwise, the first flush after the delivery just sends the joke to the sewers.
When the victim does arrive on the scene, since the toilet water will seem harmless (especially if you use plain or lemon) they will go about their business. However, this time, thanks to you, they will turn around to flush and find that their little package staring back at them in defiance.
Once your victim runs out to bring everyone in to look at the suspended turd and the horror of the event passes, clean up is fairly easy. Simply break up the gelatin with a plunger and the Jell-O and its prison will simply flush away. In all my years of pulling this practical joke, I have never seen it muck up the plumbing or anything like that, so if your host flips out, let them know it will be fine.
Good luck !!
