Office Mouse Prank

Take a piece of clear tape and place it over the mouseball. This will prevent the mouse ball from turning and frustrate the user.  Or use a piece of electrical or masking tape to cover the infrared sensor.

This trick is quite easy for the user to figure out and it is easy to set up.

However, if you really want to be cruel, slightly unplug the mouse cable from the computer as well.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Ingredients –

2 cups crushed pretzels
3 tablespoons sugar
2 ½ cups boiling water
6 oz pack strawberry jello
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups mini marshmallows
¾ cup melted butter
8 oz dessert topping
10 oz frozen strawberries
½ cup powdered sugar

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the melted butter, sugar and crushed pretzels. Press this mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake for 15 minutes.

Set this aside to cool.

Cream the powdered sugar with the cream cheese, and then fold in the marshmallows and dessert topping. Spread this over the pretzel crust.

Mix the jello in boiling water, adding the strawberry juice. Stir in the strawberries. When the mixture has thickened a bit, pour it over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until set.

Cow Poker

clear pixelWhat’s the best way to count cows? 
With a cow-culator, of course!

Here is how to play this classic car travel game. Divide the car occupants into teams – left side and  right side. Decide how you will determine when the game will end (time, length of trip, etc).  Count the cows you see on your side of the car. If you pass a field full of lots of cows, you’d better count fast!  If you pass a cemetery on your side of the car, you lose all your cows — but only if the opposing team calls out “your cows are buried!”. 
 

This game gets interesting when distraction tactics are used to either cause your opponent to miss cows on their side of the road or to miss a cemetery on your side of the road. A white horse can count as a bonus. The team with the most cows wins!

Here is a point system you might like to use to make it a little more challenging: 

1) Cows = 1 point each.
2) White Horse = 50 points
3) Chimney by itself (house burnt down) = 50 points each.
4) Peg legged man = 500 points each.
5) Gray mule = 100 points each.
6) Wind mill (out in pasture pumping water) = 50 points each.
7) Sheep or goats (replace cows if none are around) = 1 point each.
8 ) Cemetery = wipes out points.  Start back at zero (0).
