I remember someone pulling a varient of that on a young female trainee at work many moons ago. It resulted in her yelling out "has anyone seen Mike Hunt" across a crowded tea bar. Everyone was in hysterics apart from the poor lass whose face went redder than a ripe tomato. It would have probably ended up in a huge sexual harassment case nowadays.

That was in the days when trainees were still sent on errands for tins of elbow grease and buckets of compressed air.
