Office environments can be a lot of fun, sometimes for your benefit and at other times not so much. In my office we work late a lot. And when you work late you get restless and try and figure out things to lighten up the load and pass the time more enjoyably. One game we invented is with a giant orange traffic cone. It works well as a voice amplifier. So the trick is to sneak up behind someone without them noticing. With cone in hand you yell through it and say something obnoxious like "Butt Wind" or "Clown Shoe". What you say really isn’t important, it is just the volume that really counts. It is a little more humorous when you answer a question that they asked someone either over the phone or a third party standing next to them. So, like this then...
victim: "what time is it"
3rd party: "I'm not..."
Cone Master "IT'S THREE - Forty Two!!!!"
The victim jumps a mile and hilarity ensues.
So, I coned an office mate this evening. Quite funny, we all had a good laugh. Later on, my boss tells me to get up and come to his office to look at something in system scan. Just as a leave my office, the guy who got coned earlier blasted an air horn at me.
Funny for everyone, not so much for me.
I will have my revenge.

You know what they say....If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
hilarious. reminds me of when my sister unassumingly walked into the den. I was up on the arm of the couch with an air horn and simply had no choice but to blow it in her ear as she walked by. She was shocked beyond belief and kept saying her only swear word, "You Crap, Crap You Crap!" I couldn't stop laughing...like right now.
That is so funny, I almost fell out of my chair. Try it when they are in the bathroom sometime.
