In Asset Management it's all about Trading Places quotes.
 

Are you going to be able to afford to get your kid the G.I Joe with the Kung-Fu grip for Christmas?

Also just randomly screaming out "PORK BELLIES!" is a lot of fun.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 
  1. I assume you bought that online because you thought it would fit differently?
  2. Ask them if they could make it a habit to arrive on time on a day when they arrive early 
  3. Ask them to grab something from your desk that isnt there (e.g., copy of a CIM), wait for panic to ensue
  4. Really pretentious questions (describe in detail why someone might opt to summer in Nantucket vs. Martha's Vineyard, or is an AP or a Rolex more appropriate for an in-law's wedding)
  5. Ask them no-win questions in group situations (e.g., why do you think a certain MD went bald so young)?
  6. Ask them which other banks they applied to. Regardless of their answer, just say "Ah, sounds like you struck out everywhere else then, huh"
 

Either “Can you get these important pages I printed - I need them ASAP” (I didn’t print any pages.) or tell them at them “On Friday people wear really casual clothes around here.” (The first week they are there.), this will show you if they able to step back and laugh at themselves and not take things too serious.

 

My dad's work, back in the day, used to make interns call everyone in the office to tell them there would be "repairs to the phone lines".  Of course, there would be no such repairs.
