Do you enjoy practical jokes? I like them as long  as they are harmless (call me a goody two shoes, but it’s easier to be nice in my book). Anyway, I always get a kick out of hearing office jokes. I believe it’s important to keep high office morale to keep everyone operating at his or her highest-level achievement, but let’s face it; today’s times are stressful. A practical joke is always a great way to relieve a stressful work environment. I know some of my colleagues have perfected this art and hope they share some of their stories on the blog. I myself have not been the mastermind of any large-scale jokes, but I believe practice makes perfect. I haven’t seen too many episodes of the television series The Office with Steve Carell, but seeing how it is a show that has taken off in various countries around the world, obviously I’m not alone in thinking the office can be a good place to play practical jokes on your colleagues. Please share some of your stories to distract us from our workday! Alex Young, vice president and associate publisher
