Last Christmas we decorated our office space to make it feel more like the holidays. One of our buddies brought in a snow globe that he said was a collectors item. He called it Billy Buttons and the guy acted like it was the coolest thing ever. Now this guy is a huge sports fan and even played division 1 football for South Carolina so he is not a sissy, that is what made it so weird. So we decided to pull a little prank on him. We took Billy from his desk and placed him on our bosses cabinet and took a picture. We waited a couple days while Kevin kept getting so mad that Billy was missing and then emailed a picture to him from an email address named billy buttons. We acted like we were Billy. The fist picture is below and the funny thing about this is that Kevin studied this picture for a long time before he shouted that it was in Steve's office and ran over there and broke into an important meeting Steve was having asking about Billy Buttons. Now Steve had let us take the picture and knew what we were doing but he played it off like he didn't have any idea what Kevin was even talking about, it was classic. We then decided to take Billy and place him in other spaces that Kevin would notice and send those to him. The one with the hockey pucks is Kevin's own desk which was really funny. After that got old we started taking Billy outside the office with us and placing him in elevators and plants downtown. The best one is the picture with the sun behind him because that is Taco Time, which Billy told Kevin in an email was his favorite place to eat. This went on for about a month and finally Kevin was so mad that we decided to give Billy back to him. He placed Billy back where Kevin had originally placed him and left him there. We took the next couple of days to send the remaining photos to Kevin the entire time Billy was sitting right next to him. Kevin never noticed and it was one of my favorite pranks yet.
