The bar has been raised! I need your help in a prank war!!!

[djheater]

Over a year ago one of my co-workers went down to our ware house facility in Chicago. He brought with him a dolly wheel that had been a "waste-of-time" toy. We'd roll it down the halls, etc. for no good reason. He left the tire there and ever since we've been shipping it, or delivering it back and forth. The object of the game is to NOT HAVE THE TIRE! The involved parties know about the tire and will refuse shipment or delivery if possible.

Recently one of my co-workers was promoted, today we were told that the receptionist of the company we consult at had received a delivery from the owner of our firm. We were surprised to see it was a cake, beautifully decorated, with "Congratulations %co-workers name%" It turns out THE TIRE WAS INSIDE!!!!

They have truly thrown down the gauntlet. any thoughts on a good retaliation?

Whoa there copper, I didn't mean to offend. How bout this, I promise not to bump for at LEAST 24 hours. In the time it took to post the OP I had slid down to the second page.

The tire is about 8" diameter 3-4" thick, I'd take a more accurate measurement but it's covered in frosting.

FYI both teams do a LOT of work, we are allowed latitude as this war demonstrates BECAUSE we are productive.

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Put a loud ticking clock in the tire and send it back.

For those of us who view more than 10 posts per page it's highly annoying.

Besides, with the speed OT moves nobody should be viewing only 10 posts per page.

send them a plant/tree, with the tire in the bottom of the planter. covered by dirt.

That's a pretty good one, if I could find a Clear planter so it's visible....

VIperGTS - seriously, I understand, I apologize I won't do it again, OK. Additionally I'll consider your advice regarding # posts per page.

 

[DrPizza]

Can't anyone figure out that "2nd page" is meaningless? Go to preferences and change the number of threads per page you want to see...

Anyway, the cake idea was great! Congrats to them for the idea...
Return it in a bouquet of flowers?

Or, if you want to go to extremes, UPS it, but make the package look like a bomb when it's opened...
Then the bomb squad can come and defuse the... tire

edit: p.s. I don't think the bomb squad, fbi, etc. have a sense of humor

 

[KingNothing]

Hmmm...the broken computer idea isn't bad, but not as cool as the cake.

Replacing a tire on one of the other team's cars with the dolly tire would be cool.

You could fit that tire inside a pie, although that doesn't show a lot of imagination.

Is there a record player you could fit the tire into? Maybe a large clock?

why does it need to be clear? just let them have the wheel. years later if they ever repot it they can find it then.

or is there more rules to this game?

 

[FrogDog]

The bomb idea is the best, but it might be going a little far.

 

[NogginBoink]

Holy cow! My brother and sister play this exact same game with a silly Warner Brothers coffee cup in the shape of Wile E. Coyote.

It's been packed with moving boxes, headed off to college, and I suspect been shipped to Iraq.

It's hilarious to watch.

- unplug the distributor wire on the boss' car. Have the tire there when he opens the hood.

- ship it to the boss' wife on her birthday.

- conspire with another client to call boss with a problem. When boss goes out to investigate have tire there.

- when boss goes on business trip pack tire in his suitcase. (Really hard to pull off, but would be really funny.)

- conspire with boss' wife. Have her slide it under the sheets on his side of the bed just before he gets into bed.

Gosh, there's all kinds of ideas. Just watch boss' normal daily routine and get creative.

another vote for the planter idea....could take them weeks to figure it out!

 

[mattlear]

How about burying it in one of those flavored popcorn tins? you know, the ones that have the caramel, cheese, and plain popcorn. You could take out the different flavors one at a time, and then put the tire at the bottom. Then put the popcorn seperator back in and cut it down to fit in the container. Then, dump the popcorn back into the tin and shrink wrap the whole thing.

They wont realize it til they get to the bottom of the tin
