Your co-workers will be glad you did All except the owner of the "pawn'd" office, that is. He may be lucky if he gets any help to clean this up. Also, depending on the quality of the prank, his sense of humour may somewhat help, but then again, your sense of job security may plummet... Just wait till your victim falls asleep... <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1822729384&size=o"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2345/1822729384_542bf0215b.jpg" ></a> And get to work... here are some ideas. From the most harmless: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=388727003&size=o"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px; width:500px" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2396/1650664100_ea66aa1671.jpg" ></a> (photo by Jeff Zola) to the most brutal (imagine the cleanup...) Also choose the guy who hates the smell of popcorn - <a href="http://cubejinx.blogspot.com/2006/05/popcorn-filled-cube.html"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2137/1897067694_2ad483f5f7.jpg" ></a> <a href="http://cubejinx.blogspot.com/2006/05/popcorn-filled-cube.html"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2300/1897073220_3e5fca2f68.jpg" ></a> (image credit: <a href="http://cubejinx.blogspot.com/">John L.</a>) Of course, the best thing would be to make a speeding vehicle out of the whole cubicle, like these guys at Portland Soapbox Derby did: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/manyfires/238677396/"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2385/1897705871_69664ced03.jpg" ></a> (image credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/manyfires/238677396/">manyfires</a>) <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tommyt3/238918154/"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2071/1898551034_05aec27494.jpg" ></a> (image credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tommyt3/238918154/">Tommy</a>) It becomes harder and harder to come up with original ideas for a prank: "Post-It notes taking over" themes are so common now that they're routinely used in advertising: <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2247/1502783392_13779e6055.jpg"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2247/1502783392_13779e6055.jpg" ></a> and even being a perfectionist, you can still miss a spot (on the cardboard box, you notice) <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mdsf_gone_wild/74150717/"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2241/1896493885_8a079afccc.jpg" ></a> (image credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mdsf_gone_wild/74150717/">Rivet sf</a>) so you should think beyond using the obvious, and make pranks using... JELLO. Short of encasing the favorite objects of your co-worker in ice (which is impractical), this is the next best thing for making them inaccessible: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10twentyseven/187894778/"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1048/1324387322_996df6b627.jpg" ></a> (image credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10twentyseven/187894778/">Todd Hunt</a>) The mouse still worked in the previous picture, but this coffee cup is definitely unusable: <a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1269/1323493363_372f174f42.jpg"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px;" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1269/1323493363_372f174f42.jpg" ></a> (original unknown) <a href="http://www.collegehumor.com/picture:133331"><img style="margin:10px 10px 0px 0px; width:500px" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2046/1896817185_23c4081c25.jpg" ></a> (image credit: <a href="http://www.collegehumor.com/picture:133331">collegehumor</a>) Why stop at that?
