I need suggestions for a joke to be played on the boss, in a similar vien to the 'post-it note wallpapered office'.

We have an open office, so just a large area defined by a floor, roof and four walls. This boss sits in an area on his own. We have a large number of cards on reasonably thick stock, approximately 3" by 12" with a fold line at about 6"

we have considered covering his desk or the wall behind him, but I'd like other suggestions. My current thought is to somehow use the cards to build a cubicle around his desk. I'm not sure how to make a wall or 'brick' using the cards (I haven't counted but we have several hundred of them)

Or, wrap everything in his area with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. This is very effective if you have access to real shrink wrap machine.

Or, less labor intensive, but always results in a dramatic "WTF moment": have someone lie down near his desk and create a body outline. Doing this with light-colored masking tape is easy and cleanup is a snap.
