Camilo Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 We've got an intern coming in next week and I'm not very creative. I'm looking for any and all prank ideas, preferably non-violent and sanitary (but I can't rule those out). He'll be here all summer long, but I think that the first week is the best opportunity for me to do anything. . . that's when he'll be the most impressionable. If you need background, he's in college and I work for a medical company. Please help! Thanks in advance. P.S. Obviously, any suggestions that produce good pictures will be posted here. Quote
Mark_Husbands Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 plant some meth in his car and report your "suspicions" to the cops. it's hilarious! (cops take pictures for you) Quote
ScottP Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 From here If you can wait until The Intern leaves... "Back in 1982 I was using some adhesive "window burglar alarm tape", the metal stuff you burnish onto glass to detect breakage, and realized that it's made of lead. With just this lead foil and a razor blade, I could make some lead-on-paper messages, put them in my carry-on luggage, and send a secret message which is visible only to the X-ray operator at the airport security station! Are those x-ray systems live-video or freeze-frame? Maybe I could even make a motorized animated sign, a little lead-foil creature who waves at the x-ray operator. And some modern x-ray units detect absorbtion spectra, displaying it in various colors, so materials such as silver-leaf from art supply stores will show up on their video display. Hey, rather than using lead foil, I could use lead oxide white pigment or "litharge", the old fashioned lead paint. Make some silver chloride paint that shows up in color on the x-ray display. Use white paint on white paper and it would show up on x-ray, but to the eye be visible only as white paper. Print a litharge-ink silk-screen image of the x-ray photo of a human hand or head and stick it in your luggage. Will you be arrested for smuggling invisible body parts?" Quote
Dechristo Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Do as Phil Hartman described in an SNL skit: Â "First, I will trow you down and pee on your chest. Den, I will make you drink anti-freeze until you're unconscious." Quote
bunglehead Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Make him go to the supemarket for "microwave fluid" Have his boss come up, look in the microwave and say: "Yeah, this isn't heating up as well. It's getting low, go to the store and get some microwave fluid" I've witnessed people falling for that one with my own two peepers. Quote

It's getting low, go to the store and get some microwave fluid" I've witnessed people falling for that one with my own two peepers. That's pretty good, and I pulled the same one on my friend telling him to get his headlight fluid (halogen) and muffler bearings checked at the shop. But - this guy's an engineer so I doubt he'll fall for it. Nothing better? Please help. He comes a week from tomorrow. As for the cigar, I'm a guy and so is he, and I don't really like poop-flavored cigars. Quote
Dru Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Office dress code: Â First week. Send around a memo: Thursday is Jeans Day! Everyone wears jeans on Thursday Second week: Thursday is Pyjamas day! Everyone wears pyjamas. Third week: Thursday is clown day! Come dressed as a clown! No one but him comes dressed as a clown. Make sure you schedule some important meetings for him that day too. Quote
Dru Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Google says: 1,060,000 results for pyjama 813,000 results for pajama  Looks like pyjama with a y wins. Quote
Stavrogin Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 once he has all his stuff in his drawers, wait till he leaves and then take them out and put them back in upsidedown... Â go to his computer, do a 'print screen' of the desktop, then set that as the background image and delete his icons, etc. Quote
mec Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 On his second day, swap his chair with the worst, most uncomfortable, squeeky, annoying chair in your office. Beigng an engineer, he will either try to fix it, or will just suffer through it. Walk by occasionally and see him squirm. Quote

selkirk Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 all much too obvious and easy to fix. My step-dad used to work in Publich health and managed to get his hands on orange-scented samples of landfill deoderizers. (look like the little scented christmas trees you hang on car mirrors, but much, much, much more potent) Hid those around another guys office, under the keyboard, between books , etc etc. Took weeks to find them all, and the best part was the oil they were impregnated with was so potent that it seeped into anything would or paper that it was left in contanct with, so stuff smelled like really strong orange damn near forever.

selkirk Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 you never smelled the damn things! Almost a perfect prank, harmless, incredibly annoying, and quasi permanent! Â I gues there's always pencil lead on his spark plugs, theoreticaly melts and prevents the engine from firing? Just have to clean the plugs though. Or if your a good engineer, you could do the wedding trick and wire his turn signal to his horn? Quote
Camilo Posted May 12, 2005 Author Posted May 12, 2005 So what fraternity did you belong to in college? If I was in a fraternity I'd have some ideas. Just looking to have fun with the guy. Maybe hazing is too strong a word? I guess pranks is better. I like the Dru's dress code idea. We were already going to wear shirts and ties for the first week, see how long he went with it . Such is the hilarious life of a cubicle rat. Quote
