How to Prank Your Boss (and Keep Your Job)

Take a long, hard look at your boss. What do you see? Notice the bloodshot eyes, constant hand-wringing, and nervous facial tics? Believe it or not, your boss is seriously stressed out. According to the global consulting firm BPI, 82 percent of supervisors or managers are suffering from higher-than-average stress. In other words, they’re a ticking time bomb, just one bad day away from a fatal heart attack or stroke.

What your boss needs now more than ever is comedy. And what better way to tickle their funny bone than with a prank? Imagine their relief at discovering their desk wrapped in aluminum foil, or their car filled with polystyrene balls, or their entire office covered in balloons. Laughter, after all, is the best medicine.
