PUBLIC PLACE
PICNIC AT THE PARK
There are a couple different ways you can do this. If you don’t mind eating food off of surfaces like a bench or a sidewalk (which may have people looking twice in its own right), then you can make bird poop using crushed cereal coated in white yogurt and hardened. Just find an empty bench at the park, sprinkle a few “piles” around while no one is watching, and then pick them up and eat them as people walk past.
Your other alternative will require a nice, thick mixture of peanut butter and chocolate. Swirl it into a clear poopy pick-up bag, then take your dog with you to the park, find a bench, and enjoy. Sure, the concept is gross, but you’ll need to keep eating just to keep yourself from laughing out loud at people’s double takes.
FUN RUN
If you’re going to do this prank, then you’d better hope the fund-raising runners are truly charitable, or you’d better be able to run faster than them. Check your community calendar for any marathons. Most cities have several every summer, while even small towns tend to have a yearly 5k. You want to look the part, which requires you to dress like a runner: shorts, tank, running shoes, and sweat bands, etc. Next, you can either print a number, or for authenticity’s sake actually sign up for the race and get your own number (word to the wise though==this does mean they will be able to identify you). The more in your group of pranksters the better. Get the route ahead of time, and hide somewhere ahead until the first runners pass. Drink water, tie your shoes, do whatever you can to look inconspicuous but genuine, and then when there’s a gap, all of you can jump in and join the run. Let another group of runners catch up, and then as a group turn off at a predetermined point. Posting an arrow further down this wrong path in advance will keep the sheep with you. Once you are sure you are being followed, slow down and let the real runners pass you. Eventually, you’ll be able to leave the race in the same vague way you joined it. Or, if you don’t mind creating an angry mob, have a friend in a car waiting along the fake route. Hop in, hit the gas, and watch the runners’ reactions from the back window.
LOST AND FOUND
This prank requires a volunteer that likes attention, because they are going to be getting a lot of it. Get a clear photo of the chosen person, and use your printer or a copy machine to make large lost/have you seen this person signs. Include a cell phone number, so you can watch and answer calls at the same time. Choose a public area with a lot of pedestrian traffic, and post them everywhere—the telephone poles, benches, even on store bulletin boards if they’ll let you. It is important that the person on the posters does not help with this part. Once the posters are up, send in the missing person. They should sit somewhere highly visible where they are facing the passersby, and they should sit alone so no one feels compelled to call the cops. The volunteer should flatly deny that they are a missing person, even if a person approaches with one of the posters. If anyone calls the number to say they’ve found the missing person, answer that they have already been found and you are looking right at them. It won’t be a lie at least.
