Prank the Monkey: The ZUG Book of Pranks Kindle Edition
How does Bill Gates respond when you try to kiss him on the nipple?
What are the consequences of sending in your tax return, filled out entirely in roman numerals?
What happens when you wake up e-mail spammers with 4:00 a.m. phone calls?
Action-packed and stocked with laughs, PRANK THE MONKEY follows the quest of one crusader of justice as he dishes out revenge on the world's biggest--and most deserving--targets. Superprankster John Hargrave goes after Wal-Mart, pompous celebrities, and the entire U.S. Senate in this outrageously funny book, exposing them for the chimps they really are--and shows you how to do the same.
This premiere volume features dozens of all-new pranks, more ambitious than any attempted to date, by any person, anywhere.

After you read it through 5 or so times, show it to all of your friends. I got a massive kick out of watching other people read it. They would start to guffaw and chuckle at Sir John sublime comedy and I would join in. Good Times.
Most stories come from the web site.
Best if read in small doses
If you're looking for thrills, look no further than this book, also makes a great level for short legs on coffee tables - show your guests you have got class!
I love you, Alan Natanagara. And you're not half bad either, Sir John.

Many a half-hour was spent during my early teens perusing pranks posted to the Zug website. The website was what inspired me to be interested in computers as a youngster, which served to alienate me from high school cliques, but eventually lead to my current job at a major Fortune 500 company... Eventually I made enough money to buy this book.
Now, with a Kindle in my bag, I can re-visit those days, and have a few laughs along the way. Thank you for writing this book, Sir Hargrave. It's been a blast.
