Hey, If It Didn't Happen to You, It's Funny |

| Practical jokes. No matter where in the multiverse you
may be, one thing never changes: practical jokes are a favoured pastime. However, on
the Outer Planes, pranks of this sort tend to be a bit more over-the-top than those found
elsewhere. Presented for your reading pleasure are the ten most humorous practical
jokes the author has observed throughout his planewalking career. 10... Find a Clueless wizard. Tell him the spell key for getting wild magic to work on Mechanus is jumping up and down while squawking like a chicken. 9... Fill your tiefling companion's wineskin with holy water. 8... Slip a corpse fly charm into your friend's rations. 7... Wait until the dead of night, then build a brick wall in front of an oft-used portal. Spent the rest of the day with your ear to the bricks, listening. 6... Find a store with a fiendish proprietor. Make a purchase, than pay in silver coins and walk away before the merchant can say anything. 5... When asked for directions in Sigil, send him around the long way. 4... Invite both a tanar'ri and a baatezu to dinner in the same restaurant, at the same table. Don't show up. 3... Directly before a gladitorial match, serve both combantants roast cranium rat. Watch them try to work out their differences through calm, intellectual debate. 2... Find two nearby, connected portals. Build a covered walkway between them. Hand the portal key to the next curious passer-by. See how long it takes for it to occur to him. And the No. 1 Planar Practical Joke... Open a gate to the Abyss beneath an outhouse. Walk away.
