Wex,
Done the mackerel trick. We taped a smoked mackerel under one of the area supervisors seats at the refinery I used to work at while he was doing his rounds then turned the heating up full and closed his office door. The stench was awful and the guy was well known for his raging rants(lovely fella really) so it wasn't a surprise when he called us in to the control room to try and find the culprit. No joy. He then tore the office apart, lilterally, but couldn't find the source of the smell and every time he left his office someone turned the heating up full and closed the door. You can imagine after 5 days and countless bottles of cheap aftershave put on the radiators of the office by his shift back to backs to cover the smell it became too much. As soon as you opened the door to the office block you could smell it, if you entered his office it was so bad it made your eyes water. But no one would tell and no one, who knew, could keep a straight face, It was hilarious
On the fifth or sixth day a group of civil engineers turned up to dig all the drains up outside the office in a last gasp effort to remove the smell. We got there just in time, told them what was going on and sent them away to work else where while we removed the now slimey mackeral and replaced it with a card board cut out.
That was fifteen years ago and when ever I see this chap he always asks who did it but he still doesn't know. Give him his due he took it fairly and squarely on the chin....or should that be the nose..

I thought everyone wold be using laser tracking mice these days, the balls always clogged up with desk detritous I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Best one in a while was a few months back when I was driving back to Crawley after an evening out in Brighton with the barmaid from the hotel. She was busting for a pee and the services where in sight, so I put her heated seat on without telling her.
After about 60 seconds she sat bolt upright, stared down at her legs in utter panic and started uttering all kinds of apologies. She couldn't work out why I was laughing so hard I nearly crashed.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

There's a few good fishing ones...reels swapped over onto different rods, bivvie's turned round the wrong way or cellophaned up is always good for a giggle.

I'll confess to transporting a sleeping drunk friend and his entire room contents (sans posters) into the middle of the college quad. It took the four of us a good hour to arrange it as a perfect facsimile. The junior dean woke him up just after 8 the next morning to fine him, giving him half an hour to drag it all back inside else he'd double it.Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
Another good one was carried out by a work mate who bought one of those remote fart machines from a joke shop. We used to get auditted by a really dishy UKAS auditor every 6 months or so but our metallurgist always showed her around because he didn't trust us to keep our hands off her...not that we would.... . Anyway one time she came in and was ushered into the metallurgists office away from us all my mate called me to meet him outside the office door and as we were watching the metallurgist in the office with this lovely young lady he pulled out this remote control and proceeded to explain what it did and where he had placed the fart box. At first he let a couple of little rasping farts go and then a big long loud fart. The embarassment didn't last too long..and I might add both went red...because we laughed that loud all the block came out to see. Even the metallurgist was relieved that is was just a joke. The reactions were great just like the old candid camera.

We used to have a answer phone/ phone at the office the cable between the phone and unit had been nicked for another phone.
The new guy was told to record a message as we was going to be out of the office (pub lunch)
I handed him the now cordless phone and he tried 5 times to record a message each time the playback been silent. I took the hand set off him and passed it to a chap on the next desk 7' away and even he tried to have a go recording it
