      Practical Jokes for the Office
      ------------------------------

    Prank #1:

    Using the conferencing feature of your office phone,
dial one person, then while it's ringing dial another and
conference them together.  Put your own phone on mute and
listen to see how long they'll make small talk before
figuring out that neither one placed the call.

    Prank #2:

    Microsoft Word has an autocorrect spelling function in
its latest version.  This function automatically corrects
spelling mistakes as you type.  The wonderful part of it is
that you can add words to the autocorrect
dictionary...including words that do not exist. If your
co-worker leaves his computer unsecure, you're home free.
For example, you could set it up so that the boss's first
name, Bob, is autocorrected to Boob whenever the person
types it.  Or set paradigm to autocorrect to "puredumb."  If
you're good, you can get your co-worker disciplined for
sexual harassment plus any number of diversity-related
violations.

    Prank #3:

    Get a greeting card that plays an insidious tune.  Wrap
the musical chip in cotton and tape it in on top of a ceiling
tile in the victim's office. Make it quiet enough that the
victim only hears it when it's especially silent.  Act like
he's crazy when he asks you if you hear music.

    Prank #4:

    Put an official-looking sign over the control pad of
your office fax or copy machine that says it is now voice
ctivated.  The sign should direct the users to say their
full name in a loud, crisp voice (for tracking purposes of
course) followed by the desired commands, e.g., "This is
Bruce Smith, give me ten copies, no staple."
