Ken can you send me that program?

Jbalestri can you send me what you where talking about



And my 2 cents, takes some work and coordination, but fishin string, a bunch of paper clips and somehting small, that ways decently and is hard to see against a ceiling or ceiling light.

Hang the fishing string along the ceiling from you office to right over where someone else stis using the paper clips in the ceiling. at their end, tie on the wieght, when they sit down, play with the string thill the weight goes down and hits them in the head, pull up on string, all the wayt to ceiling so they cannot see it...repeat. We did it to our supervisor in the office on his record long 30 minutes smoke breaks, w had him goin for about 30 mintes when ghe got back...it was funny as poop.

haha thanks it will take some work, and stick with about a 4 to 8 lb test line. And try and make sure they cannot see whatever it is you use for a weight.

~~~ Great office pranks needed!!~~~

My boss at the office was a real neet freak, so when he went on vacation, I came up with a great prank to celebrate his return. I used the shring-wrapping machine in shipping to shring wrap everything (and I mean everything) in his office. His phone, pictures on his wall, the pen cup, his keyboard, mouse, etc. Anything too big to be shrink-wrapped (like his plant, chair, and desk) were wrapped in that saran-wrap like stuff the shipping department used to wrap pallets. It only took half an hour to do, and even less time to un-do, but we all got a reall big kick out of it.

Since I worked as the MIS & Telecom manager, I had access to the company's network. My IS assistant and I were able to remotely change the tones his computer made when he received a new email. Drove him crazy -- he buzzed me to ask for help in fixing it, so I had my assistant make everything "normal" again before I walked into his office. On my way out, I used a nearby cubicle to buzz him and have him warp them again. Played that game for about an hour or two -- had my poor boss convinced he was going crazy. We even got half his programming department in on it -- one of us would hide in a cubicle and instruct my assistant to change all the tones to normal when someone walked in, and revert to weird stuff when the boss was alone. I finally felt sorry for him and let him know what was going on.

Time-consuming, but: replace his box of 500 paper clips with a box of 500 paper clips...all linked together in a huge chain. This works best if the chain is made somewhere else, & you just switch the entire box.

Turn the speaker volume on their PC to full-blast (friction tape over the LED will help them not see it. When they boot up...ARRGH!

Switching the mouse to left-handed could be entertaining.

Tape pieces of elastic to the bottom of the mouse--this works best on a fabric-covered mouse pad.

The ever-popular whoopee-cushion.

Turn their phone volume all the way up...then call them from across the room & watch them jump. It works best if you talk softly (but don't whisper), then suddenly switch to a normal voice. Do this on a speakerphone for a REAL surprise.

Take the stops off a drawer so that when it is pulled out, it keeps going and falls on the floor. This works best if someone habitually yanks a drawer & lets it hit the stop.

When someone bends over, pull apart some Velcro.

Try switching keys on the keyboard, 3 or 4 will do the trick.
I like the tape in the earpiece bit, better yet, do it to the mouthpiece with cotton so they have to yell to be heard.

I always like to send a subscription of gay **** to the "womanizer" of the office. In his name!

Actually, swap the keys to be like a telephone....all of em upside down....and when they leave the office, poke wholes in a coke can or paper/styro drink cup so it will drip out on hand when they drink, put in alot, so they cannot cover them up with their thumb.

two "spiteful" ingredients....Ex-lax and Nytol

for those who don't get this one, picture someone falling asleep and crapping themselves.

I now remember...

Take a can of shaving cream...

Freeze it...

Then, while still frozen, cut the can off...

Take the block, put it in someones desk or a confined area...

It will expand and make a nice little mess...

Odd things collected from a life in the technical military...

A can of shaving cream left in a freezer will in fact freeze. You can take the can off with a can opener and put the frozen foam in a desk drawer to thaw out. A six pack of these can cover a file cabinet and every drawer in a normal desk - not to mention the floor, carpet, and adjacent walkway.


Computer monitors have a few things in common with television sets. One is that there is a magnetic coil on the back of the picture tube (CRT) that aims the electron beam that makes the picture on the screen. If the back of the monitor is removed we find that coil is held in place by a clamp with a small screw - if it's loosened, the picture can easily be rotated by turning it clockwise or counterclockwise. May I suggest 45 degrees?

Because monitors use magnetic fields to put images on the screen, it interferes with them to put a large magnet (such as from an old speaker) anywhere near them. Putting one directly inside the base mount is usually not something people look for and can make all sorts of pretty colors...

If the outer jaw of a staple puller is carefully bent inward with a pair of pliers, it can be made to close - but not open back up again...

Remove the springs from inside click type ball point pens, shorten them by a quarter inch and put them back together.

How about shoe polish on the earpieces of the telephones?

Pull the desk out from the wall slightly, and smear about a teaspoonful of limburgher cheese on the back of the desk. Then put the desk back against the wall... Alternatively, put it on the underside of the middle drawer over where the chair slides under.
*This is ten times as fun if rumors that someone in the office has crotch rot are started a day ahead of time.

Put a small sign on the restroom door that states: "Miniature cameras are for research purposes only"
