I've heard of calling a cab, asking a friend, or even your parent for a ride...but never a cop! This lovely individual above called 911 in an effort to get a ride to the bar. Seriously, dude? According to MSNBC, this man called the emergency number saying all kinds of lies in order to get someone to come to him and essential get a ride! Read the full story here.

Maybe 911 was the only number he could remember? Next time, get a phone book and look under CAB.

Working in an office with a lot of goof-balls, pranking comes naturally. From hiding lunches when someone leaves the lunch table to recycling and reusing shreds of paper as confetti in someones office, we all can appreciate a good prank.

This prank happened in Chicago and made me chuckle. It's just too perfect for the holiday season!

Apparently, one man took a trip out of town for the holiday's and came back to find everything in his apartment, and I mean everything, wrapped in gift wrap! I mean his toliet paper, couch, couch cushions, beverages, food, clock, bed, towels, and etc. was wrapped!

His friends decided to spend a full day pranking him by wrapping everything in his apartment and putting it back exactly where they found it. It took his friends 8 hours and 35 rolls of wrapping paper to wrap his entire apartment!

Have you pulled off any amazing pranks? What did you do? Tell us!

The Salvation Army now says it was all a mistake. A Salvation Army worker originally reported to the Chesterfield County Police Department the theft of nearly 1,000 coats from the Salvation Army distribution center at Chesterfield Town Center. Yesterday, the police department said the Salvation Army had determined only 200 to 300 coats were missing. Today, the Salvation Army told police it was all a mistake. Miscommunication between workers led at least one Salvation Army worker to report the coats stolen. It turns out the coats were distributed - as intended - to needy members of the Metro Richmond community.
