The "Wednesday night trick" at my old DZ was to turn off the engine and then
leave with the keys.  Hasn't been done for MANY years.  I guess it was done
so often for a while that some of the pilots actually kept a spare key on a
string around their necks.

I wouldn't do it, but your judgement/sense of humor may differ....


But my personal favorite...

Dirt dive a 4-way.  When you get to altitude, have the first jumper climb out
onto the strut.  Then close the door and watch him/her.  Nothing beats the
look of frustation on a jumper about to do a solo 45 sec delay.  Note that after
the victim lets go you can go around and do the 3-way that you had previously
dirt-dived.  A great way to give someone a humbling experience.  The real
masters will be able to get back on the step so that they can press their nose
against the window while they shout big expletives.
