So, the other night at work, things were kinda slow. One of my co-workers decided to have a little fun.
One of the sergeants in my shop has a picture of his family on his desk. My co-worker took an old magazine and cut some pictures of people. He took the picture out of the frame, added the people under the glass, put the whole thing back together, and replaced it on the desk. So now, in addition to his wife and three kids; there’s a rather large baby, another woman, and a black guy wearing one of those pillbox-like patterned hats.
On MTV’s Battle of the Sexes last night, the women stole one of the guys’ massage chairs. To retaliate, they removed all the toilet seats from their cabin. I find that to be a perfect prank - both in commensurability and in inventiveness.
Once loooooong ago, I worked with a guy who put this cardboard wall (from a refrigerator box) around his desk to make an office of sorts. Very Les Nesman-like. So every morning I would come in early and cut an inch off the bottom. After a month or so, you could step over it. He never seemed to notice.
Another time, a co-worker was going on an important trip the next day. So I pulled his hard disk out of his computer and replaced it with a junk one. On the junk disk, I set it up so it would come up and immediately start formatting itself, counting up the percentage.
