Prince's pranks

List a few that you might know other than the prank calling Jay Leno.

I read a few recently on tumblr that he supposedly pulled in Paisley Park having to do with scissors and zip-ties/life size cuts / and fire alarms. You might know which ones i am talking about because maybe one of you is the one who put these stories on tumblr.

Any others? And would you like me to elaborate on the ones I just listed?

Thanks

I think the food fight between Him and his band and The Time is pretty good example! LOL especially when P talked the hotel folks into letting him into Jesse Johnson's room and he hid in the room to ambush Jesse with the mustard while doing thousands of dollars in damages to Jesse's hotel room as well!

Here's the ones I read. During the CHristmas season one year (presumably pre-JW days), Prince was receiving many letters that the staff had to cut open. One day, he snuck into their offices and zip tied all the scissors shut so that they had to go to a local store to buy more scissors to cut open the scissors he tied. Yes, the staff thought it was funny.

Another time when some ladies were working late. They went into the restroom where a life-size cut-out of a man was there. It startled them and when they came out running, they found out rather quickly that P was the one who put it there.

Yet another one (my favorite one). One day the fire alarm went off. Everyone started to worry a little that Paisley was going to suffer damage. As they were piling out, P came running by shouting something like "OH, I am on fire and I am too hot to handle". He had pulled the alarm. He then gave everyone the day off that day.

I remember P mentioning the use of packing peanuts being thrown on the ground on sound guys during rehearsals or soundchecks.
