Practical 

A philistine

I don't think it's worth spending that much money on wine for the Joneses. They're very practical.

practical problems 

Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.

I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun. Take for instance this heavy caliber tripod mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you.

practical intelligence 

A combination of street smarts and common sense. Not book smarts, useful smarts.

practical joke 

is a trick played on someone that is meant to be funny for people watching, though normally embarrassing for the person being tricked.

What would you do if someone called you saying they were Barack Obama? Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen got a call just like that the other day and like many people would, she assumed it was a radio station practical joke.
