Practical Joke
-
A colleague of ours is not at work today and he's got a mostly empty creamer container. Being the jack@$$ that I am :-D I'm obviously going to substitute the contents of the container. Suggestions so far: flour & salt (flour won't dissolve though) Powdered Ginger Ground White Pepper Ground sugar. Any suggestions?

Creamer is like carob. Carob may look like chocolate, but it tastes gross. If it was marketted in it's own right, no-one would buy it.

Well yes, creamer is rather awful, but still, any suggestions for substitutes?

Depends on how big the container is, but swapping the creamer for Tom Cruise, or any other diminutive US actor would be a jape. (Get permission first from his agent though - you don't want a lawsuit over your head for using a hasbeen American actor for a practical joke without prior permission.)

Try a mix of powdered milk and food grade citric acid granules... Instant cheese if his coffee is hot enough and you get the right balance between the two ingredients. Roswell

Killjoy ;) Seriously though, if you feed him peanuts he could have a nut allergy, not forgetting the retribution that mau follow.

Nah, definitly not feeding him nuts, though I know for a fact that he has no allergies. This guy is the human waste disposal unit. He'll eat (drink) anything. I've seen him scarf down figs and hamburgers in the same mouthful.

Heh heh...as bad as it may taste when used in a manner consistent with the labeling, it's not half as bad eaten straight out of the box, especially the kind with fancy flavouring...as long as you don't accidentally inhale it while eating Roswell

I dunno. You can't get much worse than creamer anyway. Anything else would be a bonus. Bob: Mustafa, thanks for substituting my creamer with anthrax spores. I never realised how awful creamer was until I tasted the bliss that was anthrax. *cough* Got a mild cough coming on *cough* Must have been all those years of creamer *hack* *cough* *cough*, thanks again. (If you must persist then how about baking soda?)

I understand that and I have no problem with practical jokes at all, other than when you could hurt someone without meaning to because, whatever you might say, you do not have access to his medical records or he may have an allergy he has chosen not to share.
