Rented ice cream trucks in major

Surprise and delight with random

On April Fool’s Day, sold
cupcakes and hid all t-shirts.
Thought starters to make a big impact. Don't limit yourself.
and a final, great idea:
HAVE A “KILL A STUPID

Don't let the red tape limit you. To do great things, you need
to push the limits of comfort within your organization.
