What is the name of the practical joke you play on people, where you pretend to take them xyz hunting, and you get them to go wait somewhere while you "flush" the xyz out. But you actually just like...go home.

About 20 years ago I remember going to country fairs in England where the jokes and novelty stalls sold some stuff that I recall being called "shit spray" (but it was probably called "poo spray" or something). This spray promised that if you sprayed someone's trousers with it, it would make them instantaniously produce hilariously large turds - indeed many stalls often had huge turds in glass cases to prove the point.

What the hell was that spray and did it do anything at all? Oh, and someone please reasure me that the turd in a presentation case was fake...

As the sysadmin for a really boring law firm, I feel somehow honor bound to wreak some kind of non-CLM technical havoc at work in honor of April Fools (only on those that can handle it, of course). What have you done/had done to you that brought peals of laughter but didn't get anyone fired or indicted?
