Placement Pranks

Placement pranks are my favorite. They're subtle, require tact, and often last a lifetime if done correctly. You've done a good job if management actually takes care of your prank and moves it around/cleans it as if it belonged. It shouldn't draw immediate attention, but should cause a giggle to people that pay careful attention to their surroundings.

Picture frame + double-sided tape + those wacky restaurants with lots of crap on the walls = easy target. Who knew they had carbon fiber kayak paddles in 1907? (The printed name follows the old method of "middle name + street you grew up on".) It was a much more "family" addition to the walls than the suggestion of hanging a pair of truck nuts from the Radio Flyer wagon they have suspended up there. Thankfully, the pranks never escalated to the level of increasing vulgarity to see what management would notice. That would ruin it, I think, and there are plenty of blank spaces that are just inviting more "historic" images of early explorers.

If anyone else does this, I'd love to see what you manage to get on the walls of your local establishment. I'm trying to keep tabs on how long this one sticks around since I'm a frequent customer. Everyone should be so famous as to have their picture proudly displayed!

More to come, including non-blurry shots of this one.
