Written by Dan Bulla :: @DrollPranks

Replace another fellow’s sundial with one calibrated for a different latitude. The poor fellow will ask to sup mid-afternoon, like a fool!

Place a sack of canine dung in another fellow’s portico, then set it ablaze. The poor fellow’s butler will be in for a mirthless surprise!

Steal another fellow’s saucers. When he next takes his tea, the poor fellow will have to carry his teacup in his hand, like a common oaf!

Place a skinny rabbit in another fellow’s garden. By nightfall, the poor fellow will be distraught, and the rabbit will be fat and happy!

Empty your bowels in another fellow’s moat.

Tamper with the klaxon on another fellow’s automobile so that when he next sounds the honker, it will play a traditional Mexican folk song!

Replace another fellow’s épée with a spadroon. You will delight at the expense of the disconsolate fencer and his antiquated sword.

Plant a cellular telephone in another fellow’s opera box. Set it ringing during the performance to ensure the poor fellow’s disgrace!

Sew up the fob on another fellow’s waistcoat. He will be forced to wear his timepiece on his wrist, like a refuse collector!

Sprinkle another fellow’s gunpowder into his smoking pipe. When he next indulges in a puff of tobacco, he will be hoisted by his own petard!
