I need some help ... not cc

So today I came in to the office around 5am and left at 7 am because I had to go to a Chamber event. My techs knew this and so they came in a little early knowing no one would be here and they blew up a ton of ballons and filled my office with them. So I come strolling in around 9am to a office full of ballons. I had a good laugh which I needed since my Rockets stunk it up last night, but now I have a question.

How can I get them back? In the past I have taken their office chairs and hung them from the ceiling in our rug plant. It is just all in good fun and it keeps the spirits high around here.

Thanks.
Kevin Pearson

You could sack them all and send them straight home....................then after a while text them saying "Only kidding....gotcha"

on the other hand they may not come back ...hmm maybe not a good idea.

Your Rockets didn't stink. The JAZZ out played, out hussled, outlasted them. Oh they are so good. Its a good time to be in Utah. On the plus side you'll get to to watch your team play three more games.

You can look for the black iching powder, put it on their chairs... >

Bring a big cake box, empty... Then at the end of the day, bring in the real cake.

Play OPera music really really loudly..

I think You should put all of there cars up on blocks when they arnt looking. You know just High enough so the tires are about 1/16 of an inch off the ground. So it dosnt look like they are off the ground.

Here are 4 practical jokes that I've played- perhaps they'll give you some ideas. I played two of them on my brother Dave, one on another friend, and the last one on my wife...

1. Take apart an Oreo. Remove the icing. Fill it with the the slimy soap scrapings from a soggy bar of soap. Approach your victim with a handful of Oreo's. Pop one into your mouth first and then ask them if they'd like one. They'll say sure. Now stick the cookie that has the soap into their mouth. My brother Dave loved really that one.

2. Another Dave joke... Dave hates coffee! I love it! So I took a packed down espresso pod of spent espresso grounds and carefully unloaded it from the espresso maker. When Dave came over to the house I told him that Nancy had made some little desert torts. He was happy to load an enormous bite of the espresso pod into his mouth. That was priceless.

3. My wife makes a mean eggplant parmesan! And a friend of ours LOVES it. He's Italian. So before a gathering with a bunch of friends, Nancy and I carefully sliced a section of a kitchen sponge with a razor and then soaked the sponge in tomato sauce. We then lifted a corner of the eggplant parmesan and slipped the sponge into that corner. Sure enough, Angelo was the first one in line at the gathering for Nancy's eggplant parmesan. He received the piece with the sponge. Of course everyone at the gathering knew about it, and we all fell over laughing watching Angelo trying to chew a sponge and then slowly pull it out of his mouth.

4. I put a rubber band around the sprayer in the kitchen sink. Nancy turned on the sink and got drenched with the sprayer.


Hope this gives you an idea or two

Everyone often shouts morning tea the day of their birthday. Well, a guy I worked with brought in his wifes freshly backed muffins... laced with a full bottle of laxative

Not much happened at work that day... so make sure you only do half the muffins so at least half will be able to work and cover emergency jobs as they come in.

George,
Under that gentlemanly exterior is a little bit of evil


John,
That reminds me of the classic scene from "Dumb and Dumber". LOL

Ok guys those are some good ideas. I am laying low as they are expecting a retaliation. In a week or two when they forget about it I will get them good. Love the food pranks, they are always eating something so that maybe the way to go.

Thanks for the ideas.

Hi Kevin

Two of my friends are constantly playing jokes on one another. One is a painter the other builds houses. This one time the builder went to the painter’s truck and put rainbow stickers all over it. Then he took big heavy industrial zip-ties and put them on the drive shaft. The truck only made noise when it was moving down the road and let me tell you what it made a lot of noise and it attracted a lot of attention.

Call and order pizzas to their houses.  Make sure you block your phone number from caller ID when you do it.

Block your number and call them up with a real excited voice and pretend to be the disc jockey at a local radio station and tell them that if they can answer the Daily Quiz Question that they will win $500 dollars.  Make it a fairly easy, but not too obvious question.  No matter what they answer tell them they won $500 dollars and that they can go double or nothing to win $1,000 dollars.   Give them another question they can answer.  Get all excited and tell them they have won the $1,000 and to hang on you will get their information so they can claim their prize and then hang up on them.



Make you own luck,
