Indulge me here

Naturally I was drawn to a web link promising "some of the best office pranks ever." Yet I was more than a little disappointed, thinking back on some of the fine office pranks I've been involved in, such as:
  • Subscribing the target to numerous email listservs on the subject of goat husbandry, resulting in hundreds of relayed messages daily about what to do when your goat's udders are chafed, and in various other more grotesque situations (who knew raising goats wasn't just a walk in the park?).

  • Reprogramming the target's BlackBerry Wireless Messenger (via his unattended desktop computer) to replace the default footer (which the user never sees when sending a message), "Sent with my BlackBerry Wireless Messenger," with the footer "Get all the latest scores for your favorite teams--anytime! Ask me how." And, for good measure, a second footer reading "Visit my online photo gallery at www.targetsblackberrypatch.com". This went undetected for weeks.

  • Using an ordinary laser printer and ordinary clear tape, turning the rear license-plate frame of the target's Mercedes into a frame reading:


    Delicious Guinea Pigs



    Not Just For Breakfast Anymore


    This went undetected (by the target, anyway) for months

  • The all-office party invitation.

  • The time the target put a live kitten in a gift box in my office and decorated the place in a "New Arrival" theme. Ha ha, very funny. That kitten startled the crap out of me.
