Messing with phones
Back at uni, round about the time when EVERYONE first got mobile phones, there were several things we woulddo to survive brain-meltingly boring Signal Processing lectures.

One was to stealthily 'borrow' a mate's mobile and change your number entry to something like "XXX Sexy old ladies". Put the profile on loud for good measure, then carefully return it.

Once the initial embarrasement of the stupid ringtone waking up half the class has passed, the glory of watching their face when confronted by the prospect of a dodgy line actually ringing THEM (maybe congratulating them on being a loyal customer?) is well worth a giggle.

Possibly the most hilarious use of this was on a guy who was always on the phone, and always seemed to have several girls on the go at once, including a 'regular' girlfriend. Anyway, we decided to teach him a lesson... phone nicked and as many girls names exchanged as we could be bothered. Then the 'main' girlfriend was swapped with his mum.

After the lecture... phone rings. "Hi Babe.." followed by a pause. Then confusion... it was weeks before his life returned to normal.
