Do you have any good story of an actual prank you did that you would care to share?

Er, yes. 
I think I got this out of some book. However, it was awesome enough for me to do it:
I was about 13, 14. I had a pretty deep voice and many people commented about how "old" I sounded. I called up this person on the phone, at random. Some old lady picks up.
"Hello?"
"Yes ma'am. This is John from ATT (or whatever the phone company was called pre-breakup), how are you doing?"
"Fine, thank you. How about yourself?"
"Great. Well, I have one problem. We have an error down at the switching station down the street from your house and we need you to not, I repeat NOT, answer your phone for the next half-hour."
"What? Why?"
"The nature of the problem, and the fix, puts our man at peril of electrocution if your phone makes a connection while he is working on the problem. He might even... and here I paused just a little bit... die."
"My goodness! Well, I certainly don't want to be the cause of that!"
chuckling "No, ma'am, you wouldn't. OK, here's what we're going to do to show you the line is safe and you can go back to using your phone - do you have a pen or a pencil?"
"Right here. Let me get a pad... Got it."
"We will call you four times. The first time, we will let the phone ring once, then hang up. The second time... you got this?"
"Yes, please continue..."
"The second time the phone will ring two times, the third time the phone will ring three times. OK?"
"Yes - the first time: one ring. The second time, two, and the third time, three rings."
"Very good! We will space the calls out at intervals of two minutes apiece, and you'll be able to set your watch by how timely we'll call back."
"Well, how long will it take and when will you start?"
"It'll take 1/2 hour at most. If it takes longer than an hour, we'll send a representative by and he'll configure your phones so that you can use them again without electrocuting our guy, but right now we are confident that it will be a quick fix. OK?"
"Ok, dear."
"Fine ma'am. I'll contact the technicians as soon as we get off the phone - and don't forget to not use it until you hear our signal!"
"Bye"
"Goodbye, and thank you for using ATT."
So I waited about 10, 15 minutes. Then I call her back, let the phone ring once, hung up. Two minutes passed, called her back, let the phone ring twice, hung up. Two minutes passed, called her back...
... and let the phone ring and ring and ring.
Succumbing to temptation and rationalization, this poor woman finally answers the phone, whereupon I scream
"YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
and slammed the phone down.
My friend was laughing his ass off, and royally pissed. For that was the second half of the prank:
I used his phone.

You heartless, pitiless, unfeeling BASTARD!
You know, we had a friend visit and he just had to try some durian. We bought one small piece at the grocery, shrink-wrapped. Even before it was opened, it stank up our whole kitchen. Damn, that stuff is bad. In fact, I can't remember where I was recently where I saw "No Durian on the Subway" signs; Singapore, I think.

I shared this on one of Pekka's threads, the one about the girl with the cold hands.
Right after we were married, my wife, who has tiny hands, used to gleefully goose me with them in bed. Now she is petite, and wears a 3 3/4 ring (tiny fingers) so they are normally cold, and in winter they are frigid. Now my sympathy goes out to her, but I don't wish to be her heating pad.
I kept warning her to stop it. She didn't, and would gleefully giggle when she caught me by surprise and I would jump. Her hands were just sooo cold. I told her not do it. But no, it was too much fun.
So one night it snowed, and it was in the 20's outside (-1 to -6 celcius, roughly). I woke up while she was asleep. I looked outside, remembering her goosing me the night before, and had the inspiration. I took off my robe, stepped ouside in my briefs, and lay down in the snow for a minute or two. Just enough to get all rosy red and chill my skin.
I then went inside, toweled off (melted snow is wet) and then calmly went back to the bedroom, where I lay down, and coming up being her spoon style, gripped her as tight as I could, say "I love you." She was only wearing underwear.
She never stuck her cold hands or feet on me again, without asking nicely first.
