I need a good practical joke to play on my boss. Any ideas? Nothing
TOO serious or damaging....just to give you an idea, here's what's
transpired so far:
I switched the "N" and "M" keys on his computer....provided a few
laughs.
He put clear Scotch tape on the earpiece of my phone....spent a week
looking through the phone manual.
I retaliated with hiding a pickle (he hates pickles) behind a poster
on his wall. Unfortunately, it dried up and didn't wreak havoc like I
intended.
He countered with clear Scotch tape over the ball underneath my mouse.
I rebooted my computer 3 times before I discovered it. (Apparently he
likes the Scotch tape trick)
He also put coffee grounds in a bunch of my desk items....move my
stapler, out spills coffee.....open my drawer, out comes coffee...
He clearly has the upper hand, so I need some help!

Hi esarkissian and thanks for the question,
First of all, let s remember what was said in the Albuquerque New
Mexico Business Weekly online magazine. Forgotten ? let me remind
you:
The best workplace pranks, experts and mere hobbyists agree, are
those that leave the victim feeling amused and uplifted, rather than
insecure or offended.
Done right, office pranks can even improve employee relations and
productivity, so some companies endorse the occasional gag.

OK, now for some suggestions, however you should click on the links
below each one as I have posted only suggestions I thought might be
sutable for you.
My personal favorite, change the mouse buttons on his computer so that
right is left and left is right. Here s how:

The old favorite, duct tape:
Sinking Chairs Here is a fun (and safe) prank to pull on co-workers
in an office setting. Most office dwellers have chairs that use a
pneumatic piston to control the height. They are also designed to use
a persons weight to effect the downward adjustment. While your
coworkers are away from their desk, take a strip of duct tape and tape
the height adjusting lever to the bottom of the seat. This effectively
locks the piston into adjust mode. When they sit down, their weight
will cause the chair to bottom out quickly. The looks of utter
confusion are priceless. Extra points to brave individuals who pull
this one on their boss
Desk Drawer Dilemma Duct tape is real handy for driving your
co-workers, or better yet, your boss, nuts. Only a few feet are needed
to tape someone's center desk drawer shut around the edges of the two
sides and the back. It's doubly exciting if the drawer is just
slightly open so that the victim can tell that the drawer can't be
locked, but can't immediately see or feel what is holding the drawer
shut if the tape doesn't cover the entire length of the drawer. At the
same time it doesn't do any permanent damage to the furniture. Works
best in conditions of reduced light. Avoid doing this to anyone who
may have a bad back. The drawer pulling response can get really
vigorous

Tape on the phone
Roll up a piece of clear plastic tape with the sticky side out. Place
the tape in the earpiece of the phone handset.

You mentioned that you had hidden a pickle behind a picture. Bad

couple of days and he will be dreading going in to work.
