From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A practical joke (also known as a prank or gag) is a trick to purposely make someone feel foolish or victimized, usually for humor. Practical jokes differ from confidence tricks in that the victim finds out, or is let in on, the joke rather than being fooled into handing over money or other valuables. Practical jokes or pranks are typically lighthearted and made to make people feel foolish or victimized to a certain degree, although in some practical jokes there could be an inherent strain of cruelty present. The term "practical" refers to the fact that the joke consists of someone doing something (a practice), instead of a verbal or written joke. A practical joke can be caused by the victim falling for a prank, the victim stumbling into a prank, the prankster forcing a prank on the victim, the prankster causing others to do something to the victim, or even causing the victim to do something to others. Sometimes more than one victim is used. In Western culture, April Fools' Day is a day traditionally dedicated to performing practical jokes. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I pulled this one on my boss. He's a hunt-and-peck typer, so I switched two of the keys on his keyboard. He was completely flabbergasted when he watched himself type tomorrow, but the monitor said tomoddow. He was ready to call out IT people, thinking his computer had some kind of virus. So, do you have any good practical jokes? I really want to get him again. Asked by J B - Sat Oct 31 19:44:23 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A.
