Prank Wars: Tips for Winning the Battle

Ever been involved in a full out prank war? For those of you that aren’t sure, allow me to elaborate: in essence, it starts with a couple of simple jokes, gags and goofs played between two coworkers… and eventually turns into a vicious payback circle.

Let the war games begin…

Now before you go out and outfit yourself in Kevlar and Post-It notes, there are a few things to keep in mind: First, once you begin a prank war there is generally no going back. Once started, these things tend to take on a life of their own: there is really no telling when it will end.

But if you have gotten your self in one of theses messy situations, then it’s essential that you make sure that you always have a prank at the ready so that when you get hit with a particularly gruesome one, you have your payback at the ready. This helps over whelm your opponent, and can often deter them from wanting to try and hit you again in the immediate future.

In the end, the simple truth is that the person with the most high quality pranks is the one who is wins the war.

One last word of caution: a strike from the opposition can come at any time. Be on the lookout at all times. Your opponent will be looking to exploit any and all weaknesses on your part. They can and will strike when you least expect it. Stay safe and have fun. And most of all, remember: whether you are victim or instigator, the real goal is liven up the workday and get in a few laughs.
