paper clip is in the mouthpiece. There are two ways around this..

Dial the first 6 numbers. This should be done without the paper clip making the

connection, i.e., one side should not be connected. Then connect the paper clip, hold

down the last digit, and slowly pull the paper clip out at the mouthpiece's end.

Don't use the paper clip at all. Keep the nail in after you punch it. Dial the first 6

digits. Before dialing the last digit, touch the nail head to the plate on the main body

of the phone, the money safe thingy..then press the last number. The reason that

this method is sometimes called clear boxing is because there is another type of

phone which lets you actually make the call and listen to them say "Hello, hello?"

but it cuts off the mouthpiece so they can't hear you. The Clear Box is used on

that to amplify your voice signals and send it through the earpiece. If you see how

this is even slightly similar to the method I have just described up there, kindly

explain it to ME! Cause I don't GET IT! Anyways, this DOES work on almost all single

slot, Dial Tone First payphones (Pacific Bell for sure). I do it all the time. This is the

least, I STRESS *LEAST*, risky form of Phreaking.

82. Pool Fun by The Jolly Roger

First of all, you need know nothing about pools. The only thing you need know is what a

pool filter looks like. If you don't know that. Second, dress casual. Preferably, in black.

Visit your "friends" house, the one whose pool looks like fun! Then you reverse the polarity

of his/her pool, by switching the wires around. They are located in the back of the pump.

This will have quite an effect when the pump goes on. In other words. Boooooooooooommm!

That's right, when you mix + wires with - plugs, and vice- versa, the 4th of July happens

again. Not into total destruction??? When the pump is off, switch the pump to "backwash".

Turn the pump on and get the phuck out! When you look the next day, phunny. The pool is

dry. If you want permanent damage, yet no great display like my first one mentioned, shut

the valves of the pool off. (There are usually 2) One that goes to the main drain and one

that goes to the filter in the pool. That should be enough to have one dead pump. The

pump must take in water, so when there isn't any... Practical jokes: these next ones deal

with true friends and

there is *no* permanent damage done. If you have a pool, you must check the pool with

chemicals. There is one labeled orthotolidine. The other is labeled alkaline (pH). You want

orthotolidine. (It checks the chlorine). Go to your local pool store and tell them you're

going into the pool business, and to sell you orthotolidine (a CL detector) Buy this in great

quantities if possible. The solution is clear. You fill 2 baggies with this chemical. And sew

the bags to the inside of your suit. Next, go swimming with your friend! Then open the

bags and look like you're enjoying a piss. And anyone there will turn a deep red! They will

be embarrassed so much, Especially if they have guests there! Explain what it is, then add

vinegar to the pool. Only a little. The "piss" disappears.

83. Free Postage by The Jolly Roger

The increasing cost of postage to mail letters and packages is bringing down our standard

of living. To remedy this deplorable situation, some counter control measures can be

applied. For example, if the stamps on a letter are coated with Elmer's Glue by the sender,

the cancellation mark will not destroy the stamp: the Elmer's drives to form an almost

invisible coating that protects the stamps from the cancellation ink. Later, the receiver of

the letter can remove the cancellation mark with water and reuse the stamps.

Furthermore, ecological saving will also result from recycling the stamps. Help save a tree.

The glue is most efficiently applied with a brush with stiff, short bristles. Just dip the

brush directly into the glue and spread it on evenly, covering the entire surface of the

stamp. It will dry in about 15 minutes. For mailing packages, just follow the same

procedure as outlined above; however, the package should be weighed and checked to make

sure that it has the correct amount of postage on it before it is taken to the Post Office.

Removing the cancellation and the glue from the stamps can be easily accomplished by

soaking the stamps in warm water until they float free from the paper. The stamps can

then be put onto a paper towel to dry. Processing stamps in large batches saves time too.

Also, it may be helpful to write the word 'Elmer' at the top of the letter (not on the

envelope) to cue the receiving party in that the stamps have been protected with the glue.

We all know that mailing packages can be expensive. And we also know that the

handicapped are sometimes discriminated against in jobs. The Government, being the

generous people they are, have given the blind free postal service. Simply address you

envelope as usual, and make one modification. In the corner where the stamp would go,

write in (or stamp) the words 'FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND". Then drop you package or

letter in one of the blue federal mailboxes. DO NOT TAKE THE LETTER TO THE POST

OFFICE, OR LEAVE IT IN YOUR MAILBOX. Sounds very nice of the government to do

this, right? Well, they aren't that nice. The parcel is sent library rate, that is below

third class. It may take four to five days to send a letter to just the next town. This too

is quite simple, but less effective. Put the address that you are sending the letter to as

the return address. If you were sending a $20 donation to the pirate's Chest, you would

put our address (PO box 644, Lincoln MA 01773) as the return address. Then you would

have to be careless and forget to put the stamp on the envelope. A nice touch is to put a

bullshit address in the center of the envelope. Again, you MUST drop the letter in a

FEDERAL mailbox. If the post office doesn't send the letter to the return address for

having no stamp, they will send it back for the reason of "No such address".

Example:

Pirates Chest Dept. 40DD

P.O. Box 644865

Lincol, Ma. 41773

Tom Bullshit

20 Fake Road

What Ever, XX 99851

One last thing you might try doing is soaking a canceled stamp off of an envelope, and

gluing it onto one you are sending. Then burn the stamp, leaving a little bit to show that

there was one there.

84. Unstable Explosives by The Jolly Roger

Mix solid Nitric Iodine with household ammonia. Wait overnight and then pour off the

liquid. You will be left with a muddy substance. Let this dry till it hardens. Now throw it

at something!! !

85. Weird Drugs by The Jolly Roger

Bananas:

Obtain 15 pounds of ripe yellow bananas.

Peel all and eat the fruit. Save the peelings.

Scrape all the insides of the peels with a sharp knife.

Put all the scraped material in a large pot and add water.

Boil 3 or 4 hours until it has attained a solid paste consistency.

Spread paste onto cookie sheets and dry in oven for about 20 minutes. This will result in

fine black powder. Usually one will feel the effects after smoking three to four

cigarettes.

Cough syrup:

Mix Robitussion AC with an equal amount of ginger ale and drink. The effect are sedation

and euphoria. Never underestimate the effects of any drug! You can OD on cough syrup!

Toads:

Collect five to ten toads, frogs will not work. The best kind are tree toads.

Kill them as painlessly as possible, and skin immediately.

Allow the skins to dry in a refrigerator four to five days, or until the skins are brittle.

Now crush the skins into powder and smoke. Due to its bad taste you can mix it with a

more fragrant smoking medium.

Nutmeg:

Take several whole nutmegs and grind them up in an old grinder.

After the nutmegs are ground. Place in a mortar and pulverize with a pestle.

The usual dosage is about 10 or 15 grams. A larger dose may produce excessive thirst,

anxiety, and rapid heart beat, but hallucinations are rare.

Peanuts:

Take 1 pound of raw peanuts (not roasted.)

Shell them, saving the skins and discarding the shells.

Eat the nuts.

Grind up the skins and smoke them.

86. The Art of Carding by The Jolly Roger

Obtaining a credit card number: There are many ways to obtain the information needed to

card something. The most important things needed are the card number and the expiration

date. Having the card-holders name doesn't hurt, but it is not essential. The absolute best

way to obtain all the information needed is by trashing. The way this is done is simple. You

walk around your area or any other area and find a store, mall, supermarket, etc., that

throws their garbage outside on the sidewalk or dumpster. Rip the bag open and see if you

can find any carbons at all. If you find little shreds of credit card carbons, then it is most

likely not worth your time to tape together. Find a store that does not rip their carbons

at all or only in half. Another way is to bullshit the number out of someone. That is call

them up and say "Hello, this is Visa security and we have a report that your card was

stolen." They will deny it and you will try to get it out of them from that point on. You

could say, "It wasn't stolen? Well what is the expiration date and maybe we can fix the

problem.... OK and what is the number on your card?......Thank you very much and have a

nice day." Or think of something to that degree. Another way to get card numbers is

through systems such as TRW and CBI, this is the hard way, and probably not worth the

trouble, unless you are an expert on the system. Using credit card numbers posted on

BBS's is risky. The only advantage is that there is a good chance that other people will use

it, thus decreasing the chances of being the sole-offender. The last method of getting

numbers is very good also. In most video rental stores, they take down your credit card

number when you join to back-up your rentals. So if you could manage to steal the list or

make a copy of it, then you are set for a LONG time. Choosing a victim: Once you have the

card number, it is time to make the order. The type of places that are easiest to victimize

are small businesses that do mail order or even local stores that deliver. If you have an ad

for a place with something you want and the order number is NOT a 1-800 number then

chances are better that you will succeed.

Ordering

When you call the place up to make the order, you must have several things readily at

hand. These are the things you will need: A name, telephone number, business phone, card

number (4 digit bank code if the card is MasterCard), expiration date, and a complete

shipping and billing address. I will talk about all of these in detail. A personal tip: When I

call to make an order, it usually goes much smoother if the person you are talking to is a

woman. In many cases they are more gullible than men. The name: You could use the name

on the card or the name of the person who you are going to send the merchandise to. Or

you could use the name on the card and have it shipped to the person who lives at the drop

(Say it is a gift or something). The name is really not that important because when the

company verifies the card, the persons name is never mentioned, EXCEPT when you have a

Preferred Visa card. Then the name is mentioned. You can tell if you have a Preferred

Visa card by the PV to the right of the expiration date on the carbon. No phone all day

long waiting for the company to call (Which they will), then the phone number to give them

as your home-phone could be one of the following: A number that is ALWAYS busy, a

number that ALWAYS rings, a payphone number, low end of a loop (and you will wait on the

other end), or a popular BBS. NEVER give them your home phone because they will find out

as soon as the investigation starts who the phone belongs to. The best thing would be to

have a payphone call forward your house (via Cosm The business number.) When asked for,

repeat the number you used for your home phone. Card number: The cards you will use will

be Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. The best is by far Visa. It is the most

straight-forward. Mastercard is pretty cool except for the bank code. When they ask for

the bank code, they sometimes also ask for the bank that issued it. When they ask that

just say the biggest bank you know of in your area. Try to avoid American Express. They

tend to lead full scale investigations. Unfortunately, American Express is the most popular

card out. When telling the person who is taking your call the card number, say it slow,

clear, and with confidence. e.g. CC# is 5217-1234-5678-9012. Pause after each set of four

so you don't have to repeat it. Expiration date: The date must be at LEAST in that month.
