I don't in particular remember any funny practical jokes I did.
Can't say why.

Wow. I bet he won't even be charged.
It brings to mind what a huge cultural difference there is- not just about how he treated her, but about the premise of the joke. It would be the equivalent of them setting up a prank to have someone set up to give an interview on a European television station, and then have them "accidentally" find out it was like a Middle Eastern station. The fact that it was commonly accepted that it would piss him off, and that it was funny, is so alien to the kinds of things we'd put on a prank show. It basically says "Hate against other countries is funny, and we're so sure you'll hate them that just by being in the same room as them we expect hilarity to ensue."

I always disliked my dads wifes daughter. So one time when we all went out to eat at a pizzaria, I loosened the cap on the parmesan cheese and she ended up with the entire bottle on her pizza. May not be funny, idk...but it made me feel better at the time.

But, but... that's the best kind of pizza.
I'm firmly of the opinion that more Parmesan = better pizza/pasta

130. The best I attempted to do was mixing chapstick and lipstick, but I ruined my mother's £5 lipstick for April Fools. She wasn't too happy.
I also got my friend an inflatable sheep for his 21st birthday.

December 4th, 2006. The day my enlistment expired, and I was no longer a member of the military.

On the note of practical jokes, my boyfriend told me one he did.
He was at a party in college, and ended up getting his dorm rifled through after it was ended (he was passed out on the couch). He found out who it was, and it ended up being the kids down the hall.
So what he did on finals day was took a vinyl rope and wrapped it around their door knob and around the railing to the steps about 5 times. They ended up not making it to their finals and retaking the classes. Bazinga!
Onwards to today's question, the most relieving feeling I had is when my mother passed. She suffered with cancer for many years, and her last days were just horrendous. I remember just having a bad feeling while at work, so I left to spend time with my family. The next morning she passed. The misery she went through while she was bed ridden is something that no living person should ever have to go through.

June 2011 - When I graduated from college. Honestly, I never thought I would. It took me five years and a lot of determination!

#131; Hmm, I can't really remember how relieved I was for certain situations, so I'll list a few;
After I finished visiting my family in Alabama in the 3rd grade (2003), we were to catch a plane home (I live in New Hampshire, they're quite a ways apart :P), but we couldn't find which one or something, and it was nearing departure time. I believe we barely made it, and I was extremely relieved when we arrived home.
I can't remember exactly when this happened, but it was between 4th and 5th grade (so 2004-2005), we got rear ended by a truck driver from a local company. Luckily the damage was minor, compared to most crashes, the back windshield was gone and the door was dented, and my mother got whiplash (which has caused its slew of medical problems) but it could have been worse. We were in the process of moving out of our current apartment and into another one, so time and money were rather short. One day, we were at the new apartment, cleaning it out, and someone drove by, saw our car, and stopped. He got out, and introduced himself to my father, and asked him about the car. I can't remember who he was, but the man offered to sell my dad 4 tires (we needed new ones, coincidentally), and a back door for relatively cheap.
(Still related to the crash) Many years later, while my parents were out shopping/getting dinner, they were approached by another man. This one happened to be the one who hit us, and he recognized them. They talked about things, and he brought up the crash, and he ended up writing a rather hefty check to them, and the scenario was finally settled, and we were able to pay for the hospital bill for my mother, after so long, which was a great relief.
One last story, heh. This one is rather recent, and at the moment is perhaps my greatest relief, as minor as it seems. June 19th I confessed my feelings to someone before I headed off to do a job with my father, and I was worried about that all day. Those who know me on here are/were probably sick of my complaining about my girl problems, and for good reason, (I was going on a five year dry streak, so you can probably imagine how much of a relief this would be for me). Anyway, when I got home, I reluctantly checked my messages, and saw that she had responded. I had to re-read it a couple times before it finally registered that she had feelings for me too, and now, as of July 7th, we're a couple. :)

My baby girl, barely a few months old, got really sick, with high fever, and nobody knew what was wrong with her. Eventually she began convulsing, and nearly died. For a few agonizing minutes, I honestly thought my little princess was going to die T_T
Eventually she recovered, she had this infection, and with time, prayers, and some help from above, she managed to recover fully, and was smiling again soon. I can't recall a time on my life I've been more relieved ever.
I don't even wanna think what I would had done if something happened to her, specially since I was basically powerless to do anything about it, and it ate away inside me.

There have been a few times where I was seriously relieved. Mostly due to having to have surgery twice as a child and once more recently and being afraid of not waking up. I also have horrible reactions to anesthesia when I wake up where I am more terrified than I can imagine.
But I think the one time that takes the cake is when our daughter who was 5 at the time, was diagnosed with severe appendicitis and we had to rush her to a larger hospital in the middle of the night for surgery. We were so scared because she was so little and fragile. Turns out, the first hospital were idiots who misdiagnosed her and all it turned out to be was a odd strain of stomach flu that sometimes mirrors/mimics appendicitis in some children. That is when I felt the most relieved. :)
