Tricks on F/A's
Enough of all the seriousness, time for some fun.
Has anybody played any tricks on F/A's?
I've heard of pilots using ACARS as an ATM machine.
Or the good ole apple juice in an empty water bottle and handing it to the F/A.

There was a crew (SWA maybe?) who called to an FA up to the flight deck...she arrived to find both pilots totally in the nude. I think they got fired when the FA didn't see the humor in it...

In the 90's when cabin air quality was a big concern to F/A's it was fun to play games with the new girls.
This would only work with girls that had been on the line for a few months or less (or just didn't catch on). Call to the back and let them know you need an air quality sample. Tell them to use 4 sick sacks and to capture air from forward, mid, and aft cabins. The 4th sick sack is for the random sample, they need to walk down the isle waiving a sick sack to capture that sample. It's really fun to watch if you are deadheading in the back.
The other fun stunt off the top of my head is asking the (young female) FAs if they want to peep through the "telescope" in the eyebrow window of a 727.
Of course I never did any of these things, just stories you hear on the line

Tricks
This could be a very dangerous thread, should it fall into the hands of flight attendants. They have been known to play humongous pranks on pilots, especially new-hires. 
Of course, that was before humor was banned from the workplace.

Heard a story of a flight to Las Vegas several years back that had a great bunch of passengers and a fun crew. On the way out an announcement was made from the cockpit that they were going to play a little bingo and that the bingo cards were located in the seat backs right there in front of them. If they were unable to locate them, just ring your Flight Attendant call button. The numbers then started coming B5, C7, A1....... Of course there were no bingo cards in the seat backs and within seconds almost every seat was ringing for a flight attendant to get their bingo cards as the numbers kept coming. Passengers were going crazy as they were missing the numbers due to no cards. I may try that one someday - Or Not.
