Many eons ago in Edmonton I had a co-worker that was a huge Kiss fan and had those ridiculously large Dolls of the 4 original guys. I think they stood a foot to two feet tall, huge for a small cubicle desk.

So one night myself a couple of others from the shop "kidnap" his dolls. Through out the week we would send him pictures of the Kiss guys at various locations at work. Boss' office, pants down on the photocopier lunch room, etc. Even had the lads lined up at the bar sitting drinking a beer at Mo's.

We finally sent a note asking for 20 cases of beer to be paid or Gene would have an accident. We mailed him the axe bass guitar with a little doll habd glued to it. Tried to do the tongue but we were unsuccesful. This went on for a few weeks. He wasn't very pleased with our sense of humor. We never did get our beer but as far as I know he never found out who took his Kiss dolls. We returned them silently one night completely unharmed.

Another good one we did had to do with the computer flooring. Our whole office had a two foot high computer floor. Our master control room is just a big large room with a multitude of monitors for somebody to stare at all by themselves. We rigged up a tile to a mnemonic jack/pump with a switch in the racks. Every now and than we would set it off and freak out the operator. Usually tried to do it just as they were about to hit a button or switch. It would only shoot the tile 6 to 8 inches off the floor but it made a terrible racket.

I miss office pranks!
