I've heard it said that the key to a benign prank is to creates a mixture of momentary alarm and confusion, followed by relief.
A few years ago, I put a sign on my boss' office door that said that his office was off limits for the week, as the building facilities team was going to be proactively placing humane termite traps in his office for two weeks as a preventative measures to lure any termites in and then release them at a nearby forest. He found it amusing.
