Some of the deckhands on the river (the ones that have been there awhile) will pull pranks on one another. Their favorite is to put saran wrap in the shower head so no water will come out.. They do this to the ones that don't bathe often to see how long it takes for him to complaine he has no water in his shower.

One fella super glued the bathroom door to the Butt Hole Captain's room shut just to watch him rant. Another time they poured the sugar out of the sugar bowl and put a napking in it so it looked like it had sugar in it.... to watch him rant. (It was one of those you pick up and turn upside down to pour)

A Captain I know set this up with styrafoam cups.. Take the second cup from the top and punch a hole in the bottom. Invite someone to have coffee with you and pour yourself a cup, picking it off of the stack, pour the victim a cup and tell them to come fix their coffee. Go on about your business while their coffee drips all over them..

Deckhands have to wear gloves out on tow when messing with those big wires that hold the barges together. They take food coloring and drip some down in those gloves when the victim is off watch and it has time to dry.. Once they get wet, that food coloring stains their hands and they can't get it off for days.. (I saw that one pulled and it made me mad!)

I have also head of them doing that to shampoo... food coloring in the bottle of shampoo that stains the hair and head when they use it.

We had one young fella that had worked for a cell phone company and he unlocked another guys phone, using knolage that only the cell phone people have and put a different code in it so the guy couldn't use his cell phone.

I have one of those fake hands that looks real and I have played a lot of pranks with that. OOooooo, the fun I have had with that!
