    In my early days at work we had a young secretary, who did typing etc for us, but secretarial and phone service for 4 managers. She thus had a bank of 4 telephones at her workstation.

    The scams were many;

    Rearrange the handsets onto different cradles. (she had the phones changed to different colours)


    Randomly change said coloured phones into different sockets (she arranged to have the plugs screwed into place)

    Use the call-forward function to do the same thing electronically (she learnt to check)

    Change the ring-tone selection

    Tape down the cradle with "invisible" sticky tape

    When we ran out of the above, we started combining them. She finally cracked, burst into tears, and started throwing stuff at us---- must have been something we said?

    More apparently true military pranks.

    A guy went on leave and they hosed his room out and tossed grass seed everywhere and another bloke came back to find a sheep in his room and one hell of a mess. I haven't heard of anyone combining these two to allow the sheep to feed on the grass.

    And here's a dead-set true one because I know one of the members involved exteremely well. They had a ball in the Officer's Mess at a northern RAAF Base and two blokes, notorious for always being the last to leave a party, dragged the 300 or so rented palm trees into a little used ladies loo. This was Fri night and the RAAF Police (Elephant Trackers) were at a loss to work out had driven a truck or similar up and absconded with the palms. On Mon morning, they had to go and show them where the palms were 'hiding' because no one had bothered to look there.

    Now this pair have a tradition that whenever they get together they put all the plants in the ladies dunny.
