Pranks gone awry

[Redbeard]

There was one very senior Trooper who could retire any day he wanted that would tell rookies to go take a piss just off the road when they were working very rural areas at night. He'd then sneak up behind them and fire off his old magnum wheel gun and video them jumping about 10 feet in the air.

The same Senior Troop would take a 6 month rookie out on patrol in a rural dark stretch of County Road and tell them since they've become so experienced and hardened he was going to let them in on a old Department secret. He said being a Highway Patrolman is a lonely life and you have to take comfort wherever you can find it. He'd then tell them if you wanted to touch me it would be OK. He would have the whole contact on video and would laugh at the horror on their faces and then tell them he was just kidding.

This is not a prank but a funny cop story. This West Texas Trooper was a big bow hunter and he used to take his bow and target with him in the trunk and would stop on rural deserted roads and shoot his bow for 15 minutes a day. One day he was on patrol and saw the biggest bobcat of his life. He looked around and didn't see any squirrel sheriffs so he grabbed his bow and got out and drew down on the bobcat. When he was at full draw a 80 year old woman rounded a bend and saw the Trooper shooting his bow off into the woods. Being a good Texas citizen who is concerned for the welfare of the local Troopers she decides to call 911 and say please send help quick because there is a Trooper fighting for his life. He is out of bullets and is shooting arrows at them. Everybody starts running hot to the location but the Sergeant gets there first just in time to see the Trooper walking out of the woods with a dead bobcat in his right hand and a Matthews bow in the left. He got a couple of days off without pay but the story made it to all corners of the State.

All these pranks happened a long time ago and times have changed.

times have changed. Although the bow hunter story could happen today. I wor...I mean know of guys who may or may not throw a line in the river on occasion just to see what biting

I've also heard stories of Troops scouting out hunting locations while out on patrol. I'd never do anything like that but its just what I heard.

In North Texas there is a large area of peanut fields. The wild hogs have gotten so bad that the farmers and local game wardens have sanctioned law enforcement to kill all the pigs they see. Now if a Trooper discharges his weapon the Texas Rangers have to come out and do an investigation so I'm sure the local Troops would never do anything like that.

The posting the fake job opening is a brilliant prank that has gotten my gears turning. I once had a Trooper in my office call the Bosley hair restoration people and request literature. The sumbitch gave them my name and contact info and they started calling my house and office. My wife answers the phone then asks me why I didn't tell her that I was considering hair transplant surgery. I said I had no idea what she was talking about and I have never considered hair transplant surgery. She then said well then how did they get your name and home phone number and address? She said I like your shaved head but if you're feeling self conscious about it we can take out a loan for the surgery. I had a free sample of enzyte sent to his home and office so we called a truce. He drew first blood so it may be time to fuel the fued. LOL

when I was in highschool I hollowed out a tootsie roll and filled it with cat shit and got into a lot of trouble when the kid complained to his mom. Another time in H.S. I painted up a pair of whitey tighties to look horribly soiled and a friend lured another friend into the hallway while I planted these underwear in his bookbag. He came back in and I asked for a piece of gum and when he opened his bag I pretended to find the underwear and announced to the whole class what I found throwing the underwear into the air. I still die laughing remembering this one bystander's face seeing those underwear.
