LOL @ Elsewhere - you're right!
Jeff - I wish I could do that with my employer somehow. Dead fish in our small office could be a pretty persuasive means of negotiating! LOL!

THIS REMINDS ME OF THE STORY OF A COUPLE THAT HAD A VERY DIFFICULT DIVORCE ALSO.
THE HUSBAND LOVED EXOTIC CARS AND OWNED A PORCHE VALUED AT ABOUT 10,000.00.
HE STRIPPED THE HOUSE AND MOVED TO ANOTHER STATE. LEAVING ONLY THE PORCHE BEHIND.
IT WAS IN HIS NAME AND THE DIVORCE DECREE GAVE IT TO HIM. THEY WERE FIGHTING OVER HOW TO DELIVER IT TO HIM. HE FINALLY SCREAMED, SELL THE DAMNED THING AND SEND THE MONEY TO ME.
SHE PUT IT IN THE PAPER, SOLD IT FOR $50.00 AND SENT HIM THE MONEY.

Billygoat: Great story! HAHAHAHAHAH!
Reminds me of the fun that my boss and I used to have with Valerian root. It is an herb that smells like something died. It is used for calming the nerves... just don't sniff it first. Heh. Anyway, we used to work in the bankruptcy section of a bank. His office was right in front of my desk. He was a pretty young lawyer and just loved to play pranks. I was the perfect assistant.. hehehhe.
We would open capsules of Valerian root (it is a dark gray -- the carpet was bergundy) and put it around the base of the wall in a hallway where everyone walked. We did this when other people were out to lunch. Then we would resume our work and wait for the fun to begin. This hallway we sprinkled it into came out near my desk. People would walk out of the hallway with these horrible faces and making such comments as "I think there's something dead in the wall." Or "What is that HORRIBLE smell?" Then the building maintenance would be called, bookcases moved, ceiling tiles opened. It got to be so much that I had to run into my bosses' office and close the door while inside we just roared with laughter. The smell went away after a few hours. We'd do it again another week. Pretty soon our office manager was saying that we might have a ghost,since smells often accompany ghosts and that this smell so randomly came and went. <snicker snicker>
Then I grew up. Wait... no I didn't.

CG - that is awesome! I was thinking of doing a prank or two here at my office before my last day. But then again, I work with an office full of grumpy people with no senses of humor. I guess for the true prankster that's even more reason, huh? LOL!
