Sometimes, in a drunken stupor, friends will leave their cell phones blissfully unattended. This is a marvelous opportunity for a whimsical jape around bewilderment land. One of my favorites is reprogramming my own name in mobile phones. This can play out two different ways. 1. they’ll call you up in a week or so demanding to know who “underpants” is. 2. You can call them and the replaced name will show up on their caller id for confusion. these are some ideas

“George W. Bush”
“Internal Revenue Service”
“AAA Collections”

Level two Pranking involves switching phone numbers. It’s a good idea to know how to find interesting numbers fast. For a while i had memorized the phone number of an escort service in florida for this purpose and this purpose only. However a simple google search will reveal a plethora of opportunities. So for example “escorts la” turns up a wonderful variety of transexual hookers in only a matter of seconds.

Raphey turned me on to phone ninja although I’ve never successfully executed it. When a friend is in visual distance you call their phone, they pick up and become distracted, you run up and jump on them.
