The best one I've ever done was put plastic wrap underneath the toilet seat ; the seat underneath the cover. Next thing you know someone goes to the bathroom and BAM. They get more then they bargained for.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
