Idle hands are the devil's workshop. While waiting to lose our jobs with Unisys in 1988, (we were all Sperry semiconductor employees, trimmed in the merger with Burroughs) practical jokes were the only things that kept us sane.

Of the hundreds (yes, hundreds) of PJ's pulled, this was our finest hour.

One of the process engineers was away for two weeks on vacation. He was one of the biggest pranksters in the group. We knew what we had to do.

We emptied his bottom desk drawer, the deep one used for file storage. We then lined the drawer with a thick, black sheet of plastic, making it water-proof. In goes the water, sand and plastic plants. The drawer was then closed for several days to allow the water to stabilize for the next step.

Yep, goldfish...a half dozen mini-carps, swimming in Wayne's bottom desk drawer.

Wayne comes back to work a week later, open the drawer, and sez: "Cool".

Six months later, we all say goodbye to one another as we are finally escorted out of the building. Wayne brought in a big glass jar, scooped out his pals, shut the drawer and headed for home.

The REAL joke was on the poor move crew folks that had no idea what was left in that desk drawer when they picked it up to send it to storage.

Cleveland ain't so bad nowadays. Stay downtown and in the Flats and you'll have a blast.

In Britain one of the jokes played on new apprentices is to ask them to go to stores and ask for a rubber hammer.

That's fairly similar--though some mallets at Menards and Home Depot have rubber heads...
