The guy put a container of won-ton soup in another persons cubicle on Fri.

We came in Monday and the area stunk.

What would you do to get him back?

Put a Jack-O-Lantern on his desk with a knife in the side of it that also goes through a note that says "YOU".

OK, that is really from a "Deep Thought" on SNL. :)

<<Crazy-glue his mouse to his mouse pad>>

That's destructive... why don't you coat his keyboard in that joke &quot;Bad Taste&quot; powder? It sounds like he eats at his desk (wontons in the cube), so that should be highly effective :) After tapping away on those keys all day, He may be too hungry to wash his hands before eating... poof, the asshole gets his just desserts :)

Get an old dead fish and put it in his computer case. He'd never find it!

Head over for For Men @ IGN.com and read up on their Pranks extravanganza articles. :D Here's the link to Pranks, Part II, and they've got their own link at the top of that document to Part I. It's all great stuff, I'm sure you'll find something relavent. :D

My favorite from their bunch, and harmless:

Office Fun

At the win95/98 desktop open any program and restore it to its smaller window. Everything else on the desktop should look as normal. Now hit Print Screen. Open Paint, Paste, and Save. Now set the image as wallpaper. The application will look like it's still open. If you're feeling real nasty you can take a screenshot of the desktop as normal and after setting as wallpaper remove all icons and the taskbar.

Now this is good fun. Pranks that cause disorientation or confusion in the office are great because people usually try to keep their cool about them. To dismantle that is a bit cruel but can be very funny. Good luck.

Ohh, that's good. I really have got to try that. :D

Fill his PC the sickest kind of gay prono you can find. Make sure you get a nice screen saver with a new password.

On Friday, after he leaves, you could crumple up old newspapers and fill his cube half way. If you crumple them just right, when he returns Monday, they'll have expanded to fill the cube entirely.

One of the quickest and easiest I have heard of is to reverse the M and the N keys on his keyboard. Takes them for ever to figure out why they are typing so bad.

dig out your trusty computer &amp; make up a certificate. One that says &quot;you have won the Grand prize&quot;, Something like a car will do nicely.

Put a long 'official serial number' on the certificate &amp; a phone # to call to arrange to collect the prize.

You need a nice formal letter to go with the certificate. If you want to keep it going for a while you need a friend to answer the phone. Have them answer the phone with some kind of spiel, then ask for his certificate #. Then they tell him every thing is OK, except that his # is not a valid winning Number &amp; they are very sorry for the mistake &amp; don't know how it could have happened.

Or depending on how gullible he is. Have them tell him he has won the car &amp; all he has to do is go to a certain local car dealer, show the certificate, sign some papers &amp; the car is his. ( you go by first &amp; pick a car right in the front of dealers showroom for 'the prize')

Of course he shows up at the dealers &amp; nobody knows what the hell he is talking about.

Get some heavy paper so that it looks real. Send it by FedEx or priority mail, so it has to be signed for.

This usually jacks people up pretty good. The trick to hook 'em good is the way the certificate is delivered &amp; having to sign for it.

I like the idea of printing out a 3 sheet (or more) banner with a nice message then faxing him those sheets taped together in a loop-infinite fax

I pulled this on my brother once, and it was mentioned below - make a formal letter &amp; envelope and send him something that will scare him along the lines of he has been linked to credit card fraud on the net or something else ...scares the guy crapless. I did this with my bro &quot;letter from teacher requesting a meeting with parents&quot; and he nearly sh*t himself. Then about 20 minutes later I told him it was BS :)
