So, we wondered, what were the ones he remembered? What are the funniest pranks you've ever seen played in your offices? en Tue, 21 May 2013 04:03:35 GMT Tue, 21 May 2013 04:03:35 GMT Rev9 Re: Larry Osterman - Pranks over the years at Microsoft Bet you couldn't get away with these things now ..

I'm surprised Microsoft (even then) would be happy for people to be blocking in office doors and raising the floor high ..

Although the pranks are great, I would think there would be some more high tech ones.

When I went to college from the 'hood---the O.G. I will kick your * 'hood---I found this prank behavior not funny.

The pranksters tried to console themselves with cultural traditions of legendary tales of superior intellect suggesting that I did not "understand" what they were doing. I'm a long-time Monty Python fan. I know what is funny. I am quite silly (as you see here). Nudge. Nudge.

The only way these pranks would be funny to me is when my 1990s Microsoft stock goes through the roof and I know I am about to make enough money to never have to work with people I did not choose to work with ever again.
