do you remember that phase a few years ago when just about every office was playing practical jokes with phone calls?
the usual one was leaving a message on your desk saying 'please phone Mr G Raff on xxxxxxx' - and, what a hoot, you end up phoning the nearest zoo. and if that didn't fool you, they'd try "Ellie Fant", or similar.
the thing is - were you fooled?
and are there better office japes out there now?
the one that always got me, though, was someone waiting till i was deep in conversation on the phone, then putting a note in front of me designed to make me laugh. they knew i just laughed at anything, and many was the time i had to splutter an apology and put the phone down.

In the first Architect's office I worked, we had a very primitive dyeline printing machine for the drawings. It needed regular supplies of chemicals, so all new office boys would get sent to the local chemists and told to ask for a pint of K9 P.
