I have a close friend who is about to turn 60. I'd like to come up with some prank/stunt to surprise him with. His boss will allow me access to his office ,and even agreed to help. I just need a good idea, the 60 pink flamingo thing is kinda lame. Who's got a good one?
we once wrapped everything in a guys office in tinfoil. desk, phone, computer, pencils, everything!
Lots and LOTS of packing peanuts and/or balloons. Fill the whole damn office to the ceiling. Access though drop ceiling will allow it to be completely full.
Post-its, everywhere
friends pic + photoshop + porn 
When my mom turned 60 my brother and I carved a giant 6 and 0 out of 4x8 sheets of plywood and propped them up in her front yard while she slept. The best part is my step dad is a few months younger and refused to help take them down because he didn't want the neighbors to think he was that old.
Balloons is a good one. LOts of glitter every layer of balloons or so, to keep things interesting. Don't bother blocking the door because it's funny when they leak out.
I wonder how many balloons it would take to fill the office. I know the walls only go to the dropped ceiling so dumping them over the wall into the room would be easy from a ladder in the hall. Now ,filling several hundred balloons might take all night.
The shrimp chair.
Remove the seat bottom from his desk chair. Install one uncooked shrimp. Replace seat. See how long it takes for him to find it.
Note: Boss may veto this one.

May be worth it to bring the ol' compressor to work and get after it. LOL

Do this, but light it on fire at night.
Make sure he likes pranks before you do anything, not all of us old people are so easy going.
Put a sign on his lawn/in the paper/in his office/etc wishing him "Happy 65th Birthday". Nobody will believe him when he says he is only 60.

you may have seen this one before. a lot of work and you need a cooperative company.

A simple thing that can be done overnight is to add a theme. Get every Hello Kitty thing you can find: mousepad, screensaver, wall posters, stuffed animals, banner, napkins, pinata, balloons, keyboard, etc. A trip to Wal Mart and the Party Store is usually all you need. With some pink streamers, Hello Kitty pencils replacing his German Mechanical Pencils and as many stickers as you can plaster about, the remodel is hilarious.
Dora the Explorer also works well.
In reply to Pete240Z:
Really creative,but even though I know all the parties involved this one would never fly. But, I can picture my buddy if it did !
My neighbor arrived at work for his 40th and had everything velcroed to his desk. (3m industrial strength). His mouse. chair. pens. pencils. stapler. you name it.
fill his office with balloons, like completely fill it with balloons... 
Borrow a guinea pig and leave it in his office. A normally harmless creature, but when you see one running around loose in a situation where it's not expected, it's liable to cause a freak out. Also works with hermit crabs.
You could also grab a lobster for a celebratory dinner, and just let it run loose in his office. I'm not advocating the harm of any of these creatures except the lobster....you should eat him.
I think the balloons idea would work, it would be funny but still more work appropriate than some other possibilities.
You don't think a lap dance from an 80 year old would be funny?
