One of my co-workers is a saver. About 15 years ago, our insurance company used a new password each week to identify company representatives. About a year ago, my co-worker found a file with all the passwords. He showed it to all of us and we all agreed there was no reason to keep it, so he threw out the file.
We have a sales convention every year and a top management person would leave company-wide e-mails to update us on information for the convention. A couple of days after my co-worker threw out the file, I called a top manager who sends e-mails updating us on the annual sales convention and asked him to send a fake company-wide e-mail to my co-worker announcing that there would be a contest at the convention and the person who could recall the most company passwords from the old days would win.
My co-worker read the e-mail and came out of his office white as a sheet. We only let him suffer for a couple of hours before we told him the truth.

The president of the company where I used to work had a very efficient secretary. When she put a stack of letters on his desk to be signed he didn't read them, just signed each letter and sent them back to her. The office jokester slipped in a sheet with the president's resignation on it, and of course he signed it. The jokester had a good time with it and no harm came from it.

Some fellows in my guard unit used to put ladies underwear in their buddies dufflebag at the end of summer camp. They prefered very large sizes. One learned to always check one's duffle before taking it home.

Reminds me of another one my friend Frank pulled. Back in the 60s, Five Day Deodorant Pads were popular. Frank's roomate started using Franks and then puting the pads back in the little jar they came in. Frank bought an extra jar. Frank was taking a chemistry class. About five days later all the hair fell out of his room-mate's arm pits. It did cure his room-mates persperation problem though.
"Gay pride stickers".
A found a book one day entitled fifty ways to get even with your ex. One was to print up a bunch of flyers for some thing like the local chapter of the "Gay and Lesbian League of Communist Supporters" announcing this months meeting and include your ex's phone number. The book suggested puting these flyers under windshield wipers at your local mall and the local chapter of the VFW.
My Neighbor has a Fart Machine I swear she brings it wherever she goes, we all pretty tired of it though....
Dad was an oilfield worker for Carter Oil later bought by Exxon. He worked near a very small town in southern Oklahoma names Wilson. Wilson's only claim to fame was that it was the birth place of Chuck Norris.

Thanks for the info. When he calls tonight, I'll be sure and ask him. His job takes him all over. He did a lot of work for oil refineries way back when. Have to see if he ever traveled to OK.

"Once upon a time" a big aerospace firm was going to show a DVD about a missile system to us around lunchtime. The projector and everything was set up for a few hundred people to watch. Lunchtime came and went. Those that talk contracts and the big engineers came back late. Then everybody got called back to watch a movie about a defense system. Lights out-movie on. A dirty movie started playing! It took a while to turn the lights on to turn off this projector. The original DVD was swapped and in the dirty movie box UNDERNEATH the projector stand.
I kept my mouth shut about this one. We got the contract:)
Patience....

Cooooool.
Before I left the States I worked in an engineering department of a corporation as a software tech. I was the only SW guy in my cube, the other guys were systems engineers.
On April Fools day I sent an email to one of my unsuspecting cubemates with an attached .exe file. The text of the email instructed my cubemate to turn up the volume on his computer and listen for the 'soft noise' in the program.
Well, I was on my way back to my desk from the restroom when I heard "HEY EVERYBODY! I'M LOOKIN PORN OVER HERE!!" Everybody on our floor was standing up looking over the tops of their cubes laughing and of course my cubemate was sitting at his desk with his head burried in his arms.
He refused to open further emails from me that contained attachments of any kind.
