Several of the girls in our office here are planning a mom's weekend at one of our bigger houses. Some of the guys (and a couple of the girls who have to work) are thinking about playing a practical joke on them. Anybody have any ideas? We were thinking along the lines of a male stripper calling the house, asking for directions, but none of us could do it because all the women there would recognize us (or even hiring a really BAD stripper show up at the door -- I'm sure I could get some money from folks here to pay somebody for that). Anybody up to the task or have any other great ideas? E-mail me (jake at orty dot com).
Having a real bad stripper show up at the door would be hilarious, or even a regular stripper would be funny, too... since it'll be completely unexpected, and it'll create tension between them "Who hired him?" "......."
Make sure the stripper knows everything, so that he doesn't let the girls blow him off

I am no good at practical jokes... pity me....
If you could get into the house before they did, there are several things you could do... the cool whip/syran wrap deal, the syran wrap on the toilet, the whipcream on the telephone receiver and making a phone call, the leaving a 2-liter bottle laced with x-lax in the fridge...

Nex: I don't think they'd be too surprised by a stripper -- they'll be drunk, after all.

Nex said on 05/15/05 @ 05:56 PM: Any updates on this?
Jake said on 05/15/05 @ 05:57 PM: Unfortunately not. We couldn't find a bad stripper (it'd be no fun to find a GOOD stripper -- those are easy to come by).
