So, I am taking the standard 9:30am smoke break with a coworker of mine. He and I are chatting
with the building maintenance guy, who, in doing some work, consequently dumps the contents of
his shirt pocket onto the ground. In his pocket, among other things are several of these 'joke'
$20.00. the kind that look like a folded up $20, but when you open it up, it is only about
half the size of a real bill, with the "$20.00" symbol on each side, and blank on the back
side.
My coworker asks for one, and consequently plants it on the floor in our department. First
person to see it was my boss, who instantly knew it was a fake. Back on the floor it goes
waiting for the next victim. And who does that victim appear to be? Ah, yes, the one and
only Fat Walker Ridden Bitch.......for those not familiar with her, here you go:

Yes, here she comes. Walker making that 'fingernails on a chalkboard" noise that drives me ape
shit. Squeak....squeak.....squeak....SCRRRRAPE.....squeak....squeak....squeak....SCRRRAPPPE...
Around the corner into the main area......squeak.....squeak....squeak.....SCCRRRRAPPE.
I am wearing headphones, normally to try and drown out the walker noise....but have them
off one ear to hear what follows. Squeak.....squeak......squeak.....and then silence. Followed
by a very quiet, "Oh!" Then a rapid SCCRRRRRRAPPPE ..... squeak.....squeak as she goes
back to her cubicle.
I happen to sit right next to the coworker who planted the phony bill. He said that he
turned and actually saw her BEND OVER and pick up the bill, very quickly, and then, once she
was back in her cubicle, he heard a zipper unzip, and then zip back up, as she very quickly
deposited this 'bill' into her purse.
Did she say anything? no. not for almost 6 hours. Not a word to a single co-worker in the
department, asking if they had misplaced some money. Now, dont get me wrong. If i see a bill
lying on the street, hell yeah, I will claim it in a heartbeat and not think twice about
whom it may belong to. But in my department, full of people I have worked with for years? To
me that almost seems like stealing. But all's good, since it is a fake bill anyway.
She finally, after almost 6 hours, realizes (after sending out an ALL COMPANY e-mail, notifying
everyone that she had found some money, had anyone lost any?) that it is a joke. Upon
realizing it was a joke, she says repeatedly, "I figured whoever lost it must be SOOOOOO
worried......" (yeah, so worried that you wait 6 hours before sending out an e-mail....but again
all's good because it was a fucking joke).
Moral of the story? Next time she says that she cannot reach her own feet, just tape a $20
to each one. She will reach 'em in no time flat!

I think the greatest prank at our company ended with the complete crash of our e-mail servers globally (Leaving well over 100,000 employees without e-mail). Here's how it began:
Someone named Ted was at work on a fine Monday a few months back at our New York office. He had a great weekend and wanted to send a couple of his buddies a description of how cool his weekend was along with several inlaid pictures. (Inlaid in the e-mail, not attachments for seperate downloads THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER) Well after adding his pictures to the e-mail he was ready to send it out. All 15 meg of his glorious weekend sitting idle, just waiting to be sent. Now being that it was a Monday morning, Ted needed some coffee. While Ted was getting his caffine fix a passerby happened upon the unsent e-mail and added the address which is used for corporate wide e-mail. The same address that the CEO uses to update up the corporate goals etc. Well after Ted returned, he quickly glanced over his e-mail and pressed the send button.
The funniest thing was that after the e-mail servers were reset and the whole system was back up another company wide e-mail was issued to stop people from sending poor Ted 'colorfully informative' e-mail about the mistake he made.

No but I have put glue on the toilet seat and sat in the stall next to it snickering like a school girl until I heard "Shit what tha? Oh fucking A!!! JESUS CHRIST!! WHO THE FUCK!!" at which point I would bust out laughing and run out of the restroom...
Ah good times.

Very similar incident at my old job jen729w. I was at a big 4 accounting firm, can't even remember how many people were in the company but everyone in the firm got an e-mail asking for whomever was turning the thermostat down in the office in Dayton to please cease and desist.

Not really related, but I was once at a customer's site and noticed an email in their inbox. It was an all-company email. This company (ah screw it, it's the British Film Institute) has a central HQ with around 500 users in central London, a secondary site on the banks of the Thames with another however many people, and an archives centre up in Hertfordshire. The email read:
"I found a biro pen in the lift today. If anyone wants to claim it please call me."
Clueless.

When I was a kid we used to hang out under the boardwalk and stick a dollar up in between the boards. You know the rest.
Hours of fun for idiots like me.

I have another good practical joke.
Its fucking hilarious!
What you do is you take a baseball bat, run up to your boss, beat him upside the head, then scream "JUST KIDDING!!!" in his now nearly deaf ear. Afterwards you both get a beer and you slam his face into the bar and you all laugh cheerily...

Eye drops when taken internally cause mad diarrhea, not that I'm encouraging anyone to spike anyone's coffee, it was just an observation.

Ex-Lax in the brownies my friend. Nothing's funnier than watching a fat pig run for the bathroom and "not make it"

score one for... us! you shoulda recorded her picking it up (or anyone, who cares?) and then, if they didnt ask if someone lost it and kept it instead, confront them with the problem. "oh, i lost a 20 (how many fakes did he have?) dollar bill somewhere around here, did you see it?" if she says no, bust out the tape and make sure everyone is around when you get the shit on her. yes, shell hate you, but her whining days are over and whatever is left of her dignity at work will hit rock bottom.
