I pulled a number of jokes today. One actually backfired, but not too bad. 1. I put a small sticky note on the bottom of everyone's mouse. This will baflle 90% of your employees. I got 15 people with that one today. Write on the bottom. April fools. You should have heard all the conjecture on why their mouse wasn't working. One woman blamed it on leaving PCanywhere on at her home. Too funny. 2. Tape the far end of the telephone receiver to the telephone console. Use clear tape. When a call comes in the person answering the phonewill pull the whole console half way across the room. Too funny. 3. I had someone call in and tell my coworker Valerie that they were applying for a position in the office (the same position that Valerie currently holds! ha ha.) It worked perfectly. That is one of the funniest ever. The person freaked out on the phone and let the caller have it. Oh god. I was dying. She was freaking out that her boss was advertising her position in the newspaper. She has a few paranoya's and this played out perfectly. Luckily, her boss wasn't in the office so it was perfect. I backed it up by sending her emails of resume's I had been receiving for the advertisment of the her position in the paper. Oh god. She ate it up. Good stuff. 4. I got into my Celso's supervisors email (while she was away) and sent him a long list of projects to do by the end of the day. when he read the list, I heard a few curse words and laughed my ass off. Oh god. That was great. 4. The one that backfired is a little complicated, but basically one of our employees had been prodding us to join the marines if we really believed in the war. So when my buddy was latefor work I had the recrptionist send lynda an email telling her that he was late becuase he was signing up for the marines. She bit on it. And was quite proud. Now this is where it backfires a bit. She emails the whole staff and tells everyone about her accomplishment in getting him to sign up. So we are really laughing now. Then our CEO comes and tells us that my buddy is late because his grandfather passed away.... Oops. That's kinda bad. But it was still funny. They did try to retaliate by pretending to have my old girlfirend call me and they did get a sticky note on my back for an hour. But as of now. No doubt I have the upper hand.
E-mailed the Clutch's link of Yao's injury. Some people were panicking. " Well, time to hope we win Lebron Lottery." "no way we make the playoffs without him, likely he doesnt win the ROY award. *******. talk about ruining opening day"

I will always remember when Homer put police tape around Ned Flanders house and made it look like his family had been murdered. Home was just laughing while Ned was screaming his head off.
