Pranker & Milo
Milo
I’ve been digging into the prankster antics of Roman senators and thought we could compare notes—what do you think of a good ancient prank to play on a modern office?

Hey, let’s try a Roman‑style prank—think “Caesar’s surprise sandwich.” Slip a tiny scroll in every lunchbox that says “I am a senator, not a sandwich.” When everyone opens their lunch, they’ll find a silly note, and the office will erupt in laughter. It’s a harmless nod to the Senate and a quick giggle for the whole crew.

That could work if you keep it historically accurate—use a small parchment roll sealed with wax, maybe a tiny feather as a flourish, and a handwritten note. Just remember Romans didn’t have lunchboxes, so a more period‑appropriate container would make the joke land better. Keep the tone light and the note short, and you’ll get a good laugh without offending anyone.

Nice tweak—use a tiny clay jar, seal it with a wax stamp, drop in a feather and a quick note that reads “I’m a senator, not a snack.” When someone opens it, the wax cracks, the feather falls out, and the joke hits with a classic Roman vibe. Just keep it playful and safe, and everyone will chuckle.

That’s an excellent refinement—clay jars, wax seals, a feather—those are all unmistakably Roman. Just make sure the jars are small enough to fit in the lunchboxes and that the wax is easily broken but not too brittle. It’ll give the prank a tangible historical feel and keep everyone laughing.
