🔟 Jim Halpert's Top 10 Pranks on Dwight

Look, I'm not saying I spent more time pranking Dwight than selling paper. I'm just saying the paper never gave me a reaction like that. Here are the ones I'm proudest of.

1. 1

   Stapler in Jell-O

   The classic that started it all, and honestly, the jiggle still makes me smile.

2. 2

   Asian Jim

   Getting a friend to sit at my desk and act like nothing changed was my masterpiece.

3. 3

   Faxes from Future Dwight

   Turns out Dwight trusts no one except himself from the future.

4. 4

   Dressing Up as Dwight

   Glasses, mustard shirt and a stern face. He did not find it flattering.

5. 5

   The Altoid Experiment

   A little Pavlov, a little computer chime, and Dwight reached for a mint on cue.

6. 6

   Recruited by the CIA

   A top-secret mission is very exciting when you're Dwight, until you realize who sent it.

7. 7

   Stuff in the Vending Machine

   His stapler cost a dollar, which I thought was a fair price.

8. 8

   The Benjamin Franklin Visit

   Dwight spent the day trying to prove a founding father was a fake.

9. 9

   Quad Desk

   He built a megadesk while I was gone, so I built something bigger out of his.

10. 10

    Thursday Is Friday

    I convinced him the week was over a day early. Time is a construct, Dwight.
