Best. Birthday. Prank. Ever.

So here's the best birthday prank, ever.

We received a tip from the boss man himself, Jason, that Jon's birthday was coming up on the 25th. Jon was rather hush-hush about his birthday, as he should be since he's the office prankster.

So after Jon left on Wednesday, his office was prepared. Here's what was done to it:

On the outside of the door, some random stuff to show we care.

But the real goods were hidden inside. Apparently, the USPS will deliver to your door a whole heck of a lot of flat rate boxes, absolutely for free. And, apparently, we had ordered a bunch of them a couple of months ago. So we put them into Jon's office.

Over 300 boxes were stacked from floor to ceiling, completely cutting him off from his desk.

And then we laughed as Jon cleared the boxes out of his office

Now this was pretty funny, to us, but it got even better when Jon took out his drivers license to show us his birthday was actually three weeks earlier.
And now, the rest of the story:

Jason had tricked us. And Jon. He tricked us into playing a prank on Jon, so he wouldn't have to. It was a very nicely played, well thought out prank. Multiple targets, multiple payoffs.
My hat is off to the boss man.

I love office pranks! Having never worked in an office, I get to enjoy other people's tales of tinfoil and tape.
