I have recently discovered that in order to keep the moral up, and be called an a$$hole at least once per day by my employees, I prank or 2 helps keep the spirits up. Already, I've...

Brewed expresso roast for a week, and then switched to decaf.

vnc'd into the shop, with the speakers at maximum volume, and played an mp3 of a woman screaming, and other equally annoying sounds.

Labeled every usable key on a keyboard, "anykey"

Your ideas here.

This one annoying jerk used to come up behind our desks...grab our sodas & take a big ole slug... A healthy shot of liquid soap from the bathroom dispenser into a new, frosty Coke cured that in a heartbeat...

Remove the ink cartridges from any and all push-button ballpoint pens on your floor.

Sneak in some dried, crushed habanero peppers to the coffee pot.

Porn Conference Call
On his first day of vacation, an ultra dedicated employee tuned into a global company conference call and chat session while at home. With everyone listening by phone and chatting via instant message, the voice reception went downhill. Still instant messaging among the group, the employee decided to spice up the meeting by IMing all involved with a new toll free number, and promising that dialing the number would reconnect them to the call. What’s the big deal? The prank number was for a porno hot line. That was our subject’s first day of vacation that year – and last day of employment.

It's nothing major, but one of my favorites is to put a scented dryer sheet underneath someone's keyboard. They'll spend the entire day asking other people "do you smell that?"

You can combine this with either denying that you smell anything and letting them think they're crazy or suggesting that they probably have a dryer sheet stuck in their clothes and watch them search for it.

Once I had a boss had everyone written phoney parking tickets with mail in fines then he gave them all back right before Christmas. That was pretty funny.

Another time we had everybodies Kindergarten pictures blown up and set into a slide presentation on sales incentives.

Seriously....we do this one all the time and it actually puts everyone in our plant in a good mood. Find an Oldies station and crank it up. We call it "Man Dance Mondays" ...no...not like fags...more like lonely vikings...

It is hilarious to see a bunch of younger guys (who couldn't dance to save thier lives) getting down to the Supremes or the Bee Gees...I swear, at this point...everyone from the newest grunt to the owner of the plant will get down and rub some funk on it when the right song comes up.

Print labels that say "Clap-On/Clap-Off" and stick them to PC monitors, and next to light switches, etc.
