I very seldomly find practical jokes funny.   But I could see something
similar to most of those happening through a brain-check or finger-
check.  You have to be able to laugh after the fact.  Or cry.

Back in the 80s, back when IEBCOPY had multiple load modules for 
various functions (an overlay config?), a clever operator decided to 
compress SYS1.LINKLIB for us.   

That's a good "joke" to play on any shop on a very old release.
