Practical Jokes

During the first week of my internship this past winter I was in charge of ordering dinner. I didn't know any of the popular restaurants so the analysts would usually tell me where to order from. So they give me the name of a restaurant and a bunch of the analysts start giggling,so I google it and find out its a strip club. I'm like good one guys, but for real, where should i order from. So one of the analysts prints out a menu and gives it to me. I email out to the dinner list (analysts, associates, vps), and as soon as i send it all the analysts start laughing. Turns out, downloaded a menu in word, and typed the name of a different strip club on top. I thought since he had a menu it was legit. I get a few emails giving me shit about it, but one of the vps says "you are just an intern, dont joke around." I kind of freak out because its my first week and i dont really know anyone. He was just kidding, but they got me.

Anyone else have any good office pranks they want to share?

We once slipped an acid tab into this associate's hamburger. He started freaking out and getting all paranoid, but the hilarious part was when we told him spiders were crawling behind his eyeballs until he clawed one of his eyes out. Good times.

There was the summer intern we really didn't like. We started off by simple pranks, you know.. just had him place the food order and would give him the name of strip clubs to order from instead of real dining establishments. But he figured it out by googling the names. We then upgrade to just renaming a menu in word to the name of a strip club. That was a pretty good one too. But later in the summer we got him with a zinger that he probably still doesn't know about. He was all excited about his girlfriend coming to visit for the weekend towards the end of the summer. So as the weekend rolled around, we slammed him with work, and a few of the first-year analysts took her out all night and got drunk with her. We all slept with her and she even got pregnant. Well she told the guy that it was HIS baby!! Oh man.. that was great prank.
