- Nope, standard treatment for the glass on table trick. A busboy
- tub worked fine instead of a bucket.
-
- A related shenanigan, however, is about as much fun. Write up a memo,
- juicy letter, note, whatever. The idea is to have a lot of keywords
- scattered across the text. Place the note on your desk, kitchen
- table, wherever your victim is likely to pass and take a casual interest
- in the document.
-
- Then place a coke can full of BBs on top of the document. It's
- easiest to cut the bottom out of a can, wash and fill the can then to
- place as the glass was placed above, but I'm sure that you can think
- of alternative techniques. The point is to cover the best part in the
- document with the can in such a way that the nosy parker *can't*
- resist lifting the can to see how it turns out... this is almost as
- good as filling the medicine cabinet in your bath full of ping-pong
- balls just before a party.
