Top Office Pranks, Part 1


"QUANTUM SHOT" #151


Top Office Pranks

Just hope you're not the one to clean up after these "jokes":

Wrapping everything in aluminum foil is the most popular prank. Here is one occasion:

Humour, Funny

Here is another:

and yet another:

Office, Furniture

Office, Furniture
(images credit: Webshots)

This one is playing on the foil's more ominous-looking reflective properties:

The second most popular prank is to fill cubicle with the packing material:

Humour, Funny


Wrapping everything in newspaper takes third place in popularity (and harder to do than wrapping in foil, as newspaper tends to be more unwieldy):

Other occasions of newspaper (love that fresh newspaper smell?)

Office, Furniture
(original unknown)

PRANK CORRESPONDENCE

check out this "prank correspondence" with large corporations:

Breeding M&M candies
(found here)

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the"loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior...
Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen...

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to:

M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc.
Hackettstown, NJ
17840-1503 U.S.A.

along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms.
I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one."
--------------------------------------

World Domination Prank

Read also the "prank" letter Martin Rebas sent to several large Swedish companies:

"Dear representative of your highly regarded company!

Your company is known for its friendly and generous image...
With that as background, I ask you for help with one of my projects.

I have, for lack of other occupation this afternoon, decided to try to take over Earth. Such a takeover would, among other things, comprise complete control over all the world's countries and companies - including, as I'm sure you'll realize, yours.

I ask you to help me in my endeavour by voluntarily surrendering control of your company to me; this would help me considerably in my efforts. This need not mean any major changes for you - you may, by and large, continue as before, as long as you give me, say, 10% of every year's proceeds. I am open to suggestions..."


Amazingly, he's got a few responses, read them here
----------------------------

You can have a bad job:



Humour, Funny

Humour, Funny

...or a good job:
Humour, Funny

but unless you can paint money yourself:

Humour, Funny

better keep your cool and plan your sweet revenge, when time comes around.

Those are hysterical - thanks for posting! I've pinched the Citibank one and posted it on my blog (with all due credit and link back, of course!) I think my readers will get a laugh from it too.

  • The second from the top looks cute, big two big eyes and buck teeth. The others look creepy.

  • These are creepy but interesting to look at

  • These are some great shots. I especially love the ones on the flower.

  • this one

    actually says "nuclear test zone. entry prohibited!" - very appropriate :)

  • The five lights http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=401727194&size=o" means "Reduce speed"

  • NICE.

    Old Dog, Young Dog, Several Stupid Dogs sign is just down the street from my house in Gold Hill, Colorado.

    Yes, some of the dogs are stupid, but they are nice.

  • What those gaps means on that 'broken leg bird' sign in Scotland(?) I think the 'mouth' gap is fake (photoshoped).

  • I need a remote control like that!...(Ah!Ah!Ah;)
    Read more

  • The bald falling man didn´t actually fall down! He was just obdient to the sign!...
    Read more

  • For all those Americans out there, the scottish sign is completely real, those round shapes are roundabouts (traffic circles) and the gaps show that if you go all the war round you will go down the road you just came up.
    it makes complete sense only americans who don't know anything about the rest of the world would not understand!

  • Excellent series of pictures!

  • geniales todos los post.

  • Very cool.

    But one question does the Shuttle actually lift off from the back of
    the crawler?

    Or does it launch from a separate pad that the crawler simply transports it to?
    Read more

  • Awesome photos.

    I notice 438457650_81934df1c5.jpg and 438457714_76716def77.jpg both appear to have been censored. Each has a black rectangle, marked "Cargo package for ISS" and "New module for ISS" respectively. The black is solid and the rectangles are not in perspective with the rest of the photos, so apparently were added after the photo.

    I wonder what NASA needs to keep hidden, and why?

  • If one nation made it this far-imagine the possibilities of the world nations united?

  • Excellent exposition. I've always wandered how the craft was attached to the boosters and the pictures reveal all and show it to be rudimentary mechanics-hoist and attach. That must be one awesome crane to be able to heave that amount of dead weight all the way up there. The counter-weight must be huge. Engineering at its best.
    Read more

  • Impressive series of pictures, thank you for this "insight" not so commonly seen around ;)
    Read more

  • The shuttle lifts off from the MLP (Mobile Launch Platform), which is the rectangular part the crawler is carrying. The crawler moves the platform into place, puts it down on fixed support legs and then moves to a parking position. The tower is a fixed installation for the Shuttle launches, but in the Apollo days, it was carried to the launch pad as well.

  • My dad works on the external fuel tank, and he's gone down river on the barge before. In a weird side note, on the barge, it's one big party and there's an entire walk-in freezer devoted to ice cream and a chef onboard on duty 24/7 to cook whatever your heart desires. LOL
    Read more

  • I hadn't realised the tank was so big
    Read more

  • This is outstanding. I'venever imagined such gigantic efforts made to make it happen.

    Hats off to theses people!!

  • These are some of the greatest space-related pictures I've ever seen in my life. Thank you for posting.

  • Ben, yes, the tank is huge. That's the price for using liquid hydrogen as rocket fuel.

    Pound for pound, hydrogen is the most energetic fuel around. But it's bulky. One kilogram of water occupies one liter of volume. Liquid oxygen is a little heavier; each kilogram takes 0.89 liters. But H2O and LOX are like lead compared to liquid hydrogen; one kg needs 14.1 liters of tank space!

    As big as the hydrogen tank is, the oxygen still weighs six times more.

  • Disgusting waste of money. Saturn V was cheaper per pound to put stuff in LEO by a factor of 10. The space shuttle is pathetic, while the Soyuz keeps going up and down all the time, day in and out, the Shittle I mean shuttle, is basically rebuilt from top to bottom every launch, reusable my ass. What a piece of crap. Embarrassing. Too bad we cant resurrect Wernher von Braun to fix this pathetic mess.

  • The last picture of the Jeep on the ledge has been around since at least the early 80's. It was a Warn winch poster / advertisement. Photoshop didn't exist then. Don't know how they did it though.

  • indeed, the last pic is of a jeep on black bear pass in telluride, co. supposedly, the road used to be that narrow, however, it has since been widened.

  • For sheer terror, the Bolivian road still wins, but 10 hours of hellish driving (Halsema Hwy) makes one wonder if there are really places roads just aren't meant to be...

  • List is great! Bolivian road is mad!! But there are 2 roads that can compete- Sani Pass, South Africa/Lesotho, and the the roads in Northern Pakistan in the Pashtun region (Afganistan/Pakistan).

  • I did the Neal to Tibet trek you mention on foot back in 1996, its quite safe (if quite gruelling) but some of the bridges are quite dilapidated and freaky to cross. Mind you not everyone makes it, some villages showed me the corpse of a trekker they found which had been up there for months like "one of your friends, yes?". Well I took his passport with me to leave at the German embassy so they could tell his parents. Great experience and lovely people there but things might be different now, I hear Lhasa is ruined.

  • Wolfie - fantastic... "One of your friends, eh?" Tell us more - will go into next articles - and perhaps you got pictures?

  • I remember going through that Halsema Highway in the Philippines two years ago when I went on holiday.
    It's not that bad but it got a bit intense sometimes because some drivers would overtake each other and what made me kinda concerned was the signs that read "Caution: falling rocks" haha
    Read more

  • Traveled the Tibet-Nepal route with an REI Adventures Tour in July 2007. "Exhilarating", to say the least. And to add to the experience, the highway authority was doing maintenance on large portions of the road in anticipation of the increase in tourists expected from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Fortunately, the Land Cruiser drivers were exceptionally competent.

  • que arquitectura mas espectacular.
    la verdad es que me sorprende ver como avanza la tecnologia y la imaginacion de hombre. Inspirarse en un Ovni para construir un edificio es algo digno de tener en cuenta a la hora de analizar los gustos...
    como dicen acá en Chile..."En gustos no hay nada escrito"
    a mi en especial me gustó el nuevo edificio, espero algún dia estar allí para verlo con mis propios ojos.

  • Hey now! You insult those who refuse to fund the manufacturers of cars that look just like this in a few short years. At these prices you should get some kind of cosmetic longevity return on your big investment of cash. I applaud those plucky few who sneer at car manufacturers and put advertising for the low quality and high price in automaker's faces by continuing to drive them. I too am insulted because my car looks little better than these.

  • Anomalyzer! How do you think the crank for the fan on the back of the jeep is turned if she steers with one hand and shifts with the other. Where is the hand for her cell phone?

  • On the Cuban buses:
    Cuba has an enormous problem with public transport, or lack thereof. The Camel buses are quite a clever invention as they can carry far more passengers than an ordinary bus. I suspect they're made of parts of buses welded on a chassis.
    The odd thing I found is that I've seen those buses in Havana where more ordinary buses run outside Havana to transport hotel personnel. Seems impractical to have such a long vehicle in a city.
