A Great Day to Blow Off Steam

For those working in an office where a little boost of humor is needed, today is your day. April Fools is the perfect occasion to blow off a little steam and play an outrageous joke on a co-worker, boss or employee without getting dinged too badly. Hey, you have an excuse.

But, what kind of practical joke is going to be funny without hurting anyone's feelings or damaging company property? If you need some ideas, try these 5 Perfect Office Pranks. Some of them may be familiar, some might not be. Here are a few samples.

1. Stapler in Jell-O. Yes, you remember. From The Office. But, you sort of need to know how to cook.

2. Fake Press Releases. Get your client involved with the joke and everyone comes out unscathed. You hope.

The truth is that every office is going to have its own unique prank. Is someone obsessed with the temperature gauge? You could conveniently "relocate it." Does someone have a favorite plant or stuffed animal on their desk that could quietly disappear for a few minutes?

Share your office prank here. At the very least, we could have a little laugh over it.
