We had a guy at work that was generally a prick. Small stature, big fake ego… you know the sort. He was also our supervisor. He left his office unlocked one day when he left early. We immediately went to the market and got a couple plump fish. We taped one to the underside of his desk. It took him three days to find it, and on the last day he was just overheard yelling “What the fuck!” like clockwork every 10 minutes. He found the fish and admonished everyone in the office. But the part we are most proud of, is we had two more fish in the ceiling tiles above him. That took him two weeks, one deep clean, and a failed rodent inspection to find. As we were ushered out of the building indefinitely, another guy slipped me a piece of paper that said “ not all heroes wear capes”. Worth it!

Not all heroes wear capes, but at least 5 of them are carps, and one of them is Jason Abbott

in the comments huh? ok, as a thanks for all the times rhod has nearly killed me with laughter ill take that action. 1999- my friend rays birthday was coming up and he was a menace and a 25 year old balding virgin. he would do things like going in to delis at lunch hour and have them make sandwiches with every ingredient on them or pressing his hams on the duncan doughnuts window, i vividly remember about 10 of us with our kids in tow going into ben and jerrys and him asking for a pint of placenta.. like i said, a MENACE. i dont know if his dad being a judge factored in to his behavior but he seemed unassailable. so my plan was hatched to get revenge for all of us. (phase 1) i called every sex toy shop within 50 miles (of poughkeepsie NY) trying to locate an inflatable sheep, it took hours and im sure i am still on some fbi watch lists over the conversations from that day. when i finally located one that was anatomically correct i sent my girlfriend to pick it up (i COULDNT let them put a face to the perversion), she knew it was for ray so surprisingly she asked 0 questions. once in my possession i had to make sure there would be ZERO pleasure derived from my gift, so i spread bengay all over its.. anatomy. on to phase 2~ (phase 2) my friend chris was frequently the host of our weekend drinking and dope smoking festivities, so it raised no suspicion when we all decided to meet there and get absolutely wasted. we made SURE ray was too messed up to drive so he would have to get a driver in the morning. thom ended up driving rays car (with ray in it) to rays house and timo followed to give thom a ride the rest of the way home, but the sheep was in timos trunk. once ray was out of the car thom pretended to lock the door and tossed him the keys (which he ofcourse dropped on the front steps of his parents house). at this point timo drove around the block and thom got back out and placed the sheep in rays passenger seat then went home for some sleep. (phase 3) ray slept all day saturday and apparently didnt go anywhere sunday, so the first time he saw the sheep with a ribbon and a tag that said "happy birthday!" was on monday morning as he was leaving for work IN A RUSH. if he hadnt been in a rush he may have noticed the hind quarters had an actual hole for "utilizing".. but thats not what happened at all. he took the sheep IN TO WORK and started questioning co-workers about if they had been the source of this strange present. now ray is as i said a menace, so to them its just ray being weird and annoying. he works the whole day with the sheep waiting for him in his car right in the passenger seat and then gets home and walks right into his parents house WITH THE SHEEP under his arm and explains that someone left him a sheep for his birthday and has no clue who. neither his mom or dad (the judge) have any clue where it came from or what it actually is. apparently about an hour after he got home he discovered the genitalia. (phase 4) his shame was SO great that he never mentioned the sheep to any of us. about a month later we are all at chrises house once again and i asked him if hed made any new friends, by this time hed mostly forgotten about the inflatable love ewe and told me about some wino he met in the woods. after probing him about it for a while he said he had no way of knowing who the wino was and that hed never seen him since, at which point i said "oh thats too baaaaaaaaad". his face turned BEET RED then pale. "it was you!?" he exploded. at this point all the usual suspects knowing what was going on all pointed and laughed at him. turns out his worst fear was that i personally ever find out about the sheep because he feared i would mock him mercilessly. he didnt mention it to ANYONE because he didnt want ME to ultimately find out about it.. despite it being me that orchestrated the entire thing (though it was never my intent to have him parade around his place of work or parents house with it, that was just icing). a couple years ago i called ray out of the blue to reminisce about the good ole days, eventually the sheep prank came up and i asked "what ever happened to that sheep?", he admitted he no longer had it (it was 20 years ago and it was inflatable i mean c'mon) at which point i had no choice BUT to ask "so when did you pop it?". he responded "fuck you mike" and hung up.

! SPOILER ! At the end when the guy says "I think you've had your fun, ain't you, lads?" at first I thought Ian and Dave were trying to sell the story to The Sun that Dracula had said that to them 😂
