Funny and Creative Mugs
 
1. Making Fake 911 Calls For Hostage Situation, Shooting and Making a Bomb Threat

 
On September 8, 2007, Chris Scheibe, a 19-year-old, called 911 and identified himself as Sgt. Joseph Anthony Ramirez, a 27-year-old who had returned from a tour of duty in Irak only to find that his wife had cheated on him and taken their two children to Michigan. So in a fit of madness he shot a hostage and barricaded himself in a Severna Park home. He also wanted flak jackets sent to all troops in Iraq and demanded to speak with the president. He said he was ready to die if police didn't comply.
 
Scheibe told to a hostage negotiator that he was in a home in the 500 block of Park Drive and had an assault rifle with a high-powered scope and 30 rounds of ammunition. He also told to hostage negotiator he was with three other Marines, whom he identified by names, ranks and ages, which were trained in urban warfare, armed with assault rifles and clad in body armor.
 
After closing roads and bringing in a special-response team, police determined that the elaborate scenario was a hoax. At the home where the five hostages were supposedly being held by four disgruntled Iraq veterans, a couple who answered the phone said everything was fine.
 
Other calls alleged to have been placed involved a Sept. 5 report of a shooting in the Carrollton Manor community of Severna Park, and a Sept. 10 bomb threat at Severna Park High School. A 911 dispatcher recognized the voice from a call for a shooting in Carrollton Manor days earlier. Police then determined that two cell phones used in the hostage case had also been used in the shooting and bomb-threat calls.
 
2. Cheating His Wife On-Air Radio

 
A man decided to have some fun with his wife on her birthday by playing what seemed to be an innocent prank.
 
The plan was to have the on-air radio personalities contact the wife and tell her that her husband had lost his job because he was caught having sex with the secretary in his office.
 
The practical joke began to come to fruition when the wife exploded into anger. The joke lost control when the woman revealed that awful news of her husband's infidelity was actually somewhat of a relief because now she no longer felt bad about sleeping with her brother in law.
 
The on-air radio personalities revealed that everything was one colossal prank, but it was too late as the secret of the wife's infidelity had already been exposed to the whole world.
 
3. Pretending a Suicide

 
In 2004, Randy Wood, phoned his ex-wife and said he had something he wanted to show her at his home in West Monroe, 17 miles northeast of Syracuse. When she arrived at Wood's home she found him hanging from a tree in the front yard with a rope around his neck.
 
In absolut panic, the ex-wife called 911. Firefighters and an ambulance had been sent to try to save the supposed suicidal. But the ex-wife didn't know this was just a silly prank: Wood had secured himself with a lineman's harness like those used by utility crews.
 
According to the media, Wood was fined $1,000 and jailed for a year.
 
4. Pretending To Be Kidnapped

 
A 13-year-old girl in Valencia, Spain decided to play a dumb prank on her dad. She held up a sign in the car, while they were driving along, which read: "Help. I'm being kidnapped."
 
Her father had no idea what she was doing, but when a Spanish Police officer got a glimpse of the sign he did not hesitate in his attempts to save the girl. A police officer stopped thevehicle and pulled a gun on him. He pointed at the girl's father's head, ordering him out of the vehicle, with hands on head. The stunned father obeyed, all the time assuring the officer that he was the father of the girl.
 
It didn't take too long for the teenager to admit to the joke. However, the off-duty officer had already alerted the authorities to what he thought was a grave event, which then drew a large deployment of police officers to the scene.
 
Once it had been established that they were, indeed, father and daughter, they were both allowed to leave the scene with no charge.
 
5. Faking an Armed Robbery

 
On April, 2012, three friends had decided to play a trick on their mutual friend, the owner of a kiosk in the center of Beit Shemesh, Israel.
 
The prank began when Assaf Ohanunah, 19, Vava Gershkovit, 22, and Michal Ben-Shabbat, 25, arrived at the Mifgash Harovah kiosk on night with armed with toy guns and their faces covered.
 
After announcing that they were there to rob the place the terrified owner handed over NIS 4,000 (over US$1,100) and the trio fled. The owner immediately called the police who began a search for the suspects.
 
An hour later the three robbers returned to the kiosk to deliver the money and tell the owner that the robbery was just an April Fool's Day trick. The owner of the kiosk notified the police that the stick-up was fake, but cops handcuffed the three pranksters anyway.
 
After being held in police custody for two days, the three friends were brought before Jerusalem Magistrate's Court on charges of armed robbery, disturbing the peace and threatening behavior.
 
6. Playing April Fools' Day Prank on Police Officers

 
According to the Hampton Police media release, young Susan Alexandria Tinker, an employee at a Hampton, branch of the Waffle House chain, made the emergency 911 call on April 1st 2013. Since this restaurant had been the setting of violent crimes in the past, the police responded by sending K9 units to the Waffle House. Investigators sniffed around the scene and canvassed the neighborhood for suspects.
 
When police reviewed surveillance footage recorded during Tinker's shift, they discovered evidence that the original 911 call was just an April Fools' Day hoax.
 
Media reported that Tinker has been charged with falsely summoning the police, and faced a $2500 fine or up to one year in jail.
 
7. Throwing Hot-Sauced Drink at Fast Food Worker

 
In August 3, 2007, four teenagers decided to play a very evil practical joke, called 'Fire in the hole', on an employee of Subways restaurant over Jacktown Hill. Inspired by a popular internet video, the teenagers in a truck ordered food and paid for it before throwing the hot-sauced drink at the Subway employee, screaming 'Fire in the hole.'
 
According to Police the four jokers confessed in connection with the incident and four similar pranks at local restaurants. The suspects, whose names weren't released because of their ages, were charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct, harassment and criminal conspiracy.
 
8. Placing an Inflatable Doll in School Restroom

 
On May 31, 2011, Tyell Morton, 18, wanted make a practical joke to their female peers, so he put a blow-up sex doll in a bathroom stall on the last day of school.
 
A janitor saw Morton run away from the school and security footage showed a person in a hooded sweatshirt and gloves entering the school with a package and leaving five minutes later without it. Administrators feared explosives, so they locked down the school and called police. A bomb squad and K9 dogs searched the building before finding the sex doll.
 
Morton was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, and institutional criminal mischief, a felony that carries the potential of two to eight years in prison.
 
In October, 2011, the charges were expunged.
 
9. Tying a Dead Chihuahua To The Truck Bumper

 
In 2004, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Paul Goobie was driving until he suddenly found a dead Chihuahua in the street. Paul took the dog back to work and decided to dispose of the animal by tying one end of a rope to the dog's neck and the other end to the bumper of his co-worker's pickup truck.
 
The co-worker, Kevin Meloy, in total ignorance of the situation dragged the dead dog two miles before a motorist caught his attention. Some motorists had tried to alert Meloy, but he didn't hear their warnings because he is deaf.
 
Goobie was cited for unlawful disposal of a dead animal. He faces probation to 60 days in jail and/or a fine up to $500 fine.
 
Goobie allegedly told deputies he got the idea for the practical joke from the film "National Lampoon's Vacation" when Chevy Chase's character ties a live dog to the bumper at a rest stop, forgets and drives away.
 
10. Simulating an Express Kidnapping To Carry a Groom To His Stag Party

Conde told the media that the unusual prank was his friend David's idea with the help of a third man.
 
Conde's friends parked the car and they put on their balaclavas. David and his friend captured Conde, covered his head with a bag and threw him into the trunk of the Mercedes to carry the groom to his stag surprise party.

Conde and David showed up at the police station to give notice that it was just a stag party prank.
