Not so long ago I worked for an insurance company that just happens to be in the news a lot of late. About fourteen of us were off in an office by ourselves. Our bosses spent a lot of time on the road. Which meant we got our work done, but we also enjoyed ourselves by playing practical jokes on each other.

We T.P.ed one girl's cubical when she was on the road. Although it wasn't an original thought, it was the moment that counted. My coworker pointed up as we tossed a roll from end to end of the girl's work space. Above us was a suspended ceiling. He climbed a side chair and pushed up two panels while I tossed the roll over. Every inch of her cubicle was covered. When our friend returned from her trip, she laughed appreciably before gathering up the toilet paper and disposing of it. She didn't climb the side chair like we did, and simply pulled on the streamer. It ripped where it was perferated and part of it remained scrunched between the ceiling tile and the brace. Forever after a hint of the toilet paper greated us when we entered the cubical. It was more noticeable because we knew it was there. She retaliated later when she hid our outerwear in a locked cabinet on a cold day.

An older clerk was fearful of all the 'new fangled' machines. She was convinced that the computers were giving out radiation and that she would eventually suffer the effects. The only way, she said, to disperse the radiation harmlessly into the air was to run water. She kept tall glasses of water on her desk and she left the sink on in the break room. She knocked over several glasses, spilled while traipsying back and forth with full glasses and turned the water so high in the breakroom, it splashed over the edge of the sink. After several of us slipped in the puddles she refused to wipe up, we complained to her manager who refused to talk to her about it.

We finally got our point across. My buddy who helped me T.P. the cubicle, (his idea), bought a bumper sticker which he pinned on the outside of his cubicle. It read 'Caution: Radiation Zone.' Although most of snickered over it, it still didn't elicit much of a response from management. Then one day the older lady took a day off, her first in two years. She had jury duty. The other supervisor and I helped ourselves to every spare cup and glass in the break room. When my buddy took lunch, we lined up the recepticles all over his desk and credenza, and even placed one in his open briefcase on the floor. Then we poured water into each, all the way up to the rim. We moved the radiation sign inside his walls and pinned it across from where he sat. He returned well after the manager who knew nothing about our joke. We feigned work, watched and listened. Our victim laughed outloud before touring the office to shake hands. "This is the best one yet," he said.

I'm sure the manager was afraid that the next joke would be wilder than this, and that it would eventually get to her manager. She agreed to speak to the older lady, but only if we ended the jokes. She got even with us in the end when she promoted the older lady to replace the other supervisor when that supervisor replaced me. We not only had to deal with learning new jobs, but we had to correct the older lady's mistakes as she taught her replacement the wrong way to do almost every task.

Laundry Mat Prank

My uncle was somewhat of a prankster and you could always count on him to come up with something unusual to get a laugh. We were sitting in the gas station office he owned just talking while business was slow and he spotted three young girls going into the Laundry Mat across the street from the station. I could almost see the light go on in his head. He looked at me and said, "You want to have some fun?" I said, "Sure, what's the plan?" He told me he knew the public phone number of the Laundry Mat and thought it might be fun to call over there to see if one of the girls had the nerve to answer the phone. I was to talk as if I was calling a girl friend's home and didn't know I had the wrong number and pretend to try to get one of them to agree to meet me somewhere, sight unseen. They would have no idea I was just across the street and could see every move they made.

I dialed the number and could hear the phone ringing and could clearly see it. Sure enough one of them answered. "Is Margie there?" I asked. "Just a minute," she said, and turned toward the empty room and shouted, "Anybody know where Margie is?" and placed her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing. She motioned to the other two to come over and listen with her. It was obvious, and they also planned to have a little fun with the poor guy on the other end of that phone. "She was here a minute ago but left. She'll be back in a little while. Can I take a message?" The other two girls were holding their sides bent over laughing at the girl with the phone. "Well, do you expect her back soon?" I asked her. "I don't really know, she left with a really good looking guy, so I'm not sure if she'll be back any time soon," the girl said.

The other two were holding one hand over their mouths and playfully nudging the girl on the phone with the other hand. "I was going to take her to dinner at Duffy's. Do you know the place?" I said. "You mean the ritzy place Duffy's down town?" She asked. "That's the one. Guess I'll just have to make it another time though. Tell her I'm very sorry I missed her and I'll call her another time." "I'll tell her you called." The girl said. "Well, since she's not there, perhaps you would like to go with me in her place. By the way, what's your name and how long have you been knowing Margie?"

She placed her hand over the mouthpiece to prevent me from hearing and turned to the other girls as if to ask what to do. "Margie and I are old friends, we went to school together, and yes, I would love to go with you. My name is Helen, what's yours?" She said. "They call me Romeo." I told her. "How did you ever get that name?" She asked. "For my great looks, charming personality and southern gentleman's manners." I told her. All three girls had been sharing the phone and listening to all the conversation. They all busted out with laughter.

"Romeo, huh, you sure don't sound like a Romeo." She said. "Well, you don't look like a Helen either so what's your real name?" I asked. "How do you know what I look like?" she said. "Oh, I have physic powers, I can see all things. I like the brown skirt and white blouse you are wearing and the jeans and shirt the girl next to you is wearing, but not so much what the other one is wearing. I can see where you are through my physic powers. Just stay there and I will be right down to see you." She dropped the phone on the floor and all three girls ran out of there as fast as they could. Their faces were white as snow. My Uncle was rolling over with laughter and couldn't stop for thirty minutes. Customers would ask him what was so funny and he would just start laughing again.

When you're out delivering newspapers in the middle of the winter, and snow has freshly fallen, you want to take out your annoyance on someone, and the sad fact is that most often all the customers are still comfortable in their beds.

One day, though, when I had to deliver to someone's ten-foot-high porch, I decided to have some harmless fun to call attention to the plight of your average newspaper guy. I had some red food coloring in my car for a birthday cake, and I bagged the customer's newspaper, took the coloring, and walked a short trail through the snow. I reached the porch, left a trail of footsteps going up the stairs, and put the paper inside the door.

Then I turned around, walked toward the railing, and wiped off two footprint-sized spots on the railing. I carefully walked backwards over my tracks, jumped onto the set of footprints leading back down the porch, and then walked backwards down to the bottom of the stairs.

Once on the ground again, I jumped, spinning in midair so I landed backwards a few feet closer to the ground near the railing. I almost popped a kneecap doing this in heavy boots, but I landed without skidding more than two inches. I walked backwards, then flopped down into four inches of dry snow below the railing. I flailed around in place with my arms and legs. Satisfied, I got up, then removed the food coloring from my inner coat pocket, and opened it. My gloves made the going clumsy, but a large quantity of red food coloring splashed on the inside of the disturbed snow. Finally I walked back to the car, sprinkling a wide trail of red food coloring to the left and right of me, and stepping through it.

The result of all this effort? A trail of footsteps led up to the porch, turned around, and led to the edge of the porch. On the snow below was the spot where I apparently had landed, coated in red. A crimson trail led back to the car, where whatever faceless person had delivered the paper still apparently had the presence to drive off.

No one ever called the office and complained. pranks to play on people

Playful pranks played regularly in any office or workplace will always breed a happy, productive crew as long as you play fair, that is. You could have the most boring job in the world, but if there is a sense of playfulness in the air, you are more likely to enjoy punching that time clock.

Especially today, in this crazy world of constant peril and imminent danger, hi-jinx on the job most definitely has its place. As long as no harm is caused, keeping the kid in us alive is a good thing. People need to laugh, and feel connected to their co-workers. What better way to accomplish this than to pull off a couple of crazy stunts on an unsuspecting subject?

A few years ago, I worked in a somewhat stuffy law office. In the break room one day, I overheard some of my co-workers discussing childhood celebrity crushes. One lady, whom I had always considered the stuffiest of my co-workers, foolishly admitted to a current mad crush on, of all people, Geraldo Rivera! A crush on Geraldo? I just couldn't get my head around that concept. It made no sense to me whatsoever. I figured that this woman's tragic admission was a thinly-veiled cry for help. My mission was clear. This woman was in desperate need of a fun makeover.

My mind churned many ideas, but I focused on locating the goofiest picture of Geraldo I could find. With my boss' permission, I made dozens of photocopies of nothing but his head. When I was done, I had Geraldo heads in all different sizes and dimensions. (I used paper from the recycle bin, of course.)

As my unsuspecting co-worker lunched off site with my boss, my co-workers and I began taping these Geraldo heads throughout the office. No tape-able surface was off limits. We laughed our heads off coming up with places to put those heads.

Geraldo found his way into the most uncanny places. Open a drawer, there he was. Pull out the coffee pot; giant Geraldo head. Wrapped around a pencil, teeny weeny Geraldo. Three wee Geraldos faces grinned up from underneath a tape dispenser. The bottom of the storage room bucket hosted Geraldo. He graced the bathroom stalls, including the toilet seat. Several bottled items in the employee refrigerator had the newsman's head. Waiting quietly under the lid, in the darkness, Geraldo's head was affixed to the printer cartridge. Everywhere, as I said, that was capable of holding tape, was a terrific host for the head o' Geraldo.

This madness didn't stop in the office either. We made sure to put Geraldo on the wheel hubs of our office.
