If you have a coffee room at work where people like to leave snacks for everyone, you can really have fun (also works at home on your spouse/kids/roommates). One thing to do is to cut either a piece of styrofoam or a block of wood to fit in a sheet cake pan and to liberally frost it. Place a knife or spatula nearby with plates and walk out (do this when nobody is looking). Alternately, you can take cotton balls and dip them one by one in chocolate/almondbark and let them set up. They look just like chocolate truffles or chocolate coated cherries, but leave cotton between victim's teeth that they'll be picking out for the rest of the day. I did the cake one at work with styrofoam once. People were trying so hard to cut a piece, and were wondering who the awful cook was and if it was rude to stop cutting.
someone in my email suggested frosting a sponge.. I guess that'd make a single serving cake.
other suggestions were stapleing the fly shut (underwear)
if you're into planning ahead, saving the newspaper for year and presenting it as current.. buying a lottery ticket with last year's numbers and askin' the victim to check the numbers.
to get your boss, everybody in the office (or department) calls in sick (or unavailable.. car trouble, flat tire, child care emergency, sick kid, sick yourself, doctor's appointment, cat havin' kittens, etc..).. and then go out for breakfast or somethin' so you all show up (on time) together.
I keep tryin' to find an idea that'll be funny but won't make my husband pissy.. he doesn't have much of a sense of humor in the morning.. lately he's been workin' so much it seems to be on vacation most of the rest of the time too.. so I'm probably just gonna skip it but.. I'll keep lookin' til it's too late..
