Boss’s Day is coming! Yeah, yeah, I know it’s a bogus holiday. Anyway, my group here at work always does something creative and kooky to our good-natured VP. Does anyone have any good tricks/gags they’ve pulled on their boss on this very special day? We’re starting to dry up on ideas and need a little advice…

Several of us here in my group are going to gift wrap our supervisors cube and his supervisors cube. This isn’t real fancy, but both of them are fairly new and aren’t expecting this of us.

Make his or her office look like a crime scene. With that yellow “do not cross” tape (at least this is in U.S.). Chalk body on the floor. Etc. Before they get to the office.

Hide in his office with another co-worker. When he gets in grab him from behind, gag him, and stuff him into a large smelly garbage bag. Give him a few good-natured kicks and put him into a large wooden crate and ship him off to the north pole.  
That’s what I’d like to do to my boss.

For the big boss at my job, all three shifts are saving up our spare change, and are all going to chip in and get “The Queen” a clue.
