I was running my rounds at the local courts here, when I stopped by one office to pick up the usual crap and happened to look up at the bulletin board. Tacked on was a notice that said:
In the event you receive a bomb threat by telephone, please bang on the desks to draw the attention of your coworkers and hold up this sign:
TELEPHONE BOMB THREAT
Hmmmmmm…
When I got back to my office I quickly fired up MS Word and put together a poster that said the same thing, making sure to use a nice BIG font for the words “TELEPHONE BOMB THREAT.”
Then I used my cell phone to call our section here and quickly picked it up when the phone rang. After pretending to listen for a minute or two, I started banging on the desk like crazy.
Everyone was looking at me, wondering if I had finally gone completely mad. I held up the sign and pointed at it frantically. They all stared at it for a few seconds or so… and then went right back to what they were doing.

I work from home, so I tried this there would be no one around to even look up at me and wonder if I was weird. One of the draw backs of working from home.
You think they might just have wizened up to your antics by now? :P
Which is why I need a new audience.
Uh, no, you’re not getting rid of me.
