Watch your parents’ mood instantly darken when they arrive home to find one of these “official notices” hanging from the doorknob.
what you need
* A doorknob hanger (print the downloads for this prank found here: workman.com/ebookdownloads)
* Scissors
what you do
THE SETUP
1 Cut out the doorknob hangers that you’ve printed. Then carefully cut out the center circle (the part you’ll slip over the doorknob).
2 Choose which doorknob hanger you want to use and slip the hanger on the front doorknob when no one is watching.
PULL THE PRANK
1 Wait for the reactions when your parents find the hanger and read the bad news: When they start fuming, say something sympathetic like, “I’m all for recycling, but this is totally insane!” or, “What?! We can’t use the toilet for an entire day?!”
VERY IMPORTANT PRANKS
V.I.P.
Loony Laws
It’s surprisingly easy to convince people that prank laws are real. In 1965 a newspaper in Denmark reported that the Danish parliament had passed a law requiring all dogs to be painted white. The purpose of the law was to allow motorists to see dogs more easily at night. And in 1993 a radio station in Cologne, Germany, announced a new law that said joggers in city parks could run no faster than six miles per hour. Anyone who ran faster would inconvenience the park’s squirrels, which were in the middle of their mating season, the station reported.
No need to paint this guy!
