Fine sand is a known carcinogen. You may have given everyone cancer. Buy hey, you had fun.
Well it was back in '82 and everyone is still alive. Everything these days probably has a known carinogen in it.
Best prank you've ever done?

A long time ago during my senior year of high school after track practice one of our buddies thought is was funny to snap us with his towel on your rear after you got out of the shower and still naked.
The next day after he went into the shower we got a wooden tongue depressor and used that to coat his underwear with Atomic Balm which is used for muscle aches. This stuff reacts with water and becomes hot on your skin.
We got out of the shower first and we started to snap him with towels so he quickly put on his underwear and he started to laugh at us since the snaps now were ineffective.
A few moments pass before the Atomic Balm kicked in and and his laughter turned to burning pain in "Man Land" as he ran to the shower to remove the balm.
Needless to say, he never snapped us with a towel again.

I can't take credit for this, but I am aware of a group of young men while in high school who let 3 pigs go in their high school. Caused a hell of a mess. They labeled them in hog chalk "1", "2", and "4". The most ruckus and time spent on the pigs, however, was on pig "3".
I seem to be a prank recipient much more often than I dish them out. Long, but this one still makes me laugh almost 20 years later.
I'm a golfer, and my putter had recently become lodged in a tree, unable to be extracted. No idea how it got there. I really wanted an Oddessy 2 ball putter, which had just come out. I'm also cheap and ended up with a $30 Kmart special.
A while later, four of us head out to play. My cart partner shows up about 30 seconds before the tee time and we have to drive the cart a bit to get to the first tee box. He comes running up something about leaving his putter at home. Whatever, just get in the cart, we have to go. I tell him he can use my putter.
First hole, friend uses my putter. Rams it 20 feet past the hole. Putt coming back is no better. He ends up five putting or something like that. He's pissed, says he hates my putter. I told him tough, that he should have brought his own, and that he sucks anyway and shouldn't expect to putt any better.
Second hole, same thing. Five or six putts later, friend takes my putter and HAMMER THROWS IT INTO THE POND next to the green. Awesome. Now our cart has zero putters.
The next few holes we're doing this stupid switch putter thing with our other two friends. I'm a decent golfer and putting with someone else's putter has left me a little frustrated. I'm still pissed at my friend for throwing my putter in the pond.
We get to #7. Other friend asks if I want to try his putter. No, I'm fine with Tom's. You sure? Yes. Why don't you try your putter? What's wrong with you? Idiot threw it in the pond. You were there. Other friend then says "why don't you try your putter?" and shoves a putter in my face. I've never seen it before. Whose putter is this and where did it come from? Other friend says "happy birthday."
It's a brand new Oddessy 2 ball putter. These jackholes had set this entire ruse up. The friend I was riding with didn't forget his putter, he had given it to Other Friend ahead of time. So the other cart in my group had four putters in it and I never noticed.
Kmart putter has probably since been recovered by golf ball divers, and I still have the Oddessy putter.
They could have done it on #3. They didn't have to wait until #7. Jerks.

When I was AF active duty I had a section chief who was really technologically challenged. He also had a bad habitat of not logging off of his computer when he wasn't using it, which is a huge no no. Well, one morning he goes scrambling out of the office for a meeting and of course he forgot to log off so we thought we would have a little fun at his expense. I hopped on and took a screen shot of his desk top and set it as his background picture and then hid all of his icons. He comes back from his meeting and you could just see the frustration mounting while he's clicking around trying to open different applications. They had like three IT people in there trying to figure out what was wrong and about 3 hours later they realized what happened. Holy sh!t was he pissed but he never did find out who it was.
We had a girl friend that was terrified of scary movies, especially the movie The Ring which she saw in theatres. We were talking about this one night, and decided we were going to force her to watch it, and she finally said ok. We watched it at her apartment which was on the first floor of a building at the end of Welch.
This was around 2004 so TVs still plugged directly into the wall, so you still had channels that would come in as pure static. While watching the movie, one of us went "the bathroom", snuck into her room, turned her tv onto a static channel, cranked the volume, and stole her remote.
She could hardly finish the movie and was scared shitless and on edge, we stayed for a few more drinks and went on our merry way.
Around 2 am in the morning we drove back down to Welch, walked around to her bedroom window with the remote, and turned her TV on. She flipped **** like no other, ran out of her room, all her roommates ended up screaming because she was, it was great.

This is great. You have good friends.
Mine all throw their golf ball at mine during my back swing trying to knock the ball off the tee.
Growing up I liked to put my dad's cart (it was electric which is why this worked) in neutral while he was hitting. Once my dad started to check everytime, I would sometimes turn the key off as well. Once that stopped being funny I started lifting the seat and would flip the switch from run to tow. I was immature yes, but he took forever to hit his ball.
Great patience by them for the payoff. While reading the part about him throwing it into the pond, all that was going through my head is that I'd probably be making an attempt to throw that friend into the pond also. Risky play on their end...
Scary movies don't scare me any longer than in the moment, but I would have peed my pants if you did this to me.
Relatively harmless prank from my sister in HS: They listed the principal's car for sale at a very good (but still reasonable deal) price in the newspaper (late 90s), with her direct office line as the contact phone number. Ad ran for a week straight.
Prank pulled on a cocky field engineer by some ironworkers: They crawled underneath his truck and attached a black zip tie onto the drive shaft in an area where it couldn't easily be seen. Makes a very bad sounding ticking noise that you can't easily find/diagnose. Mechanics at the repair shop thought it was hilarious.

Friend who threw the putter was/is a hulk of a man. Would have turned me into a pretzel. Never crossed my mind.
That definitely changes things. Sounds like you would have been the one swimming then. Probably the correct move to play it as you did!
A similar one I read about cars was some friends had zip tied a harmonica (or was it a kazoo?) to the suspension of the car. Mechanics also found that one to be pretty entertaining.
How come everyone else has thought of this but me? Skipping a number is absolutely brilliant!
At my previous place of employment, around 25 people or so, you got to know peoples attire. When you would recognize a pair of shoes under a stall belonging to someone you didn't care for you acted upon it. The bathroom allowed no outside light in so we would flip the switch off and then go to a phone and call the office asking to speak to said person. Trying to wipe frantically in the pitch black to go answer the phone had to suck.
