I am looking for a super easy idea for office Halloween costumes for a group of 6 or 7 people. Last year we all dressed as usual and carried signs saying "Nudists on Strike!". I am looking for something simple like that. Anyone?

Several years ago I worked in a fast food place and none of us got real carried away for Halloween, mostly due to the job. I wore a sign around my neck that had a picture of Elvis glued to it and the words "I am the King." I got a lot of comments at the drive up window.
For two-three years my daughter wore jeans to work with a western style belt( the only problem was we had to figure out how to cover her name that was tooled into the back of it, so after the belt was in her belt loops, I took a piece of brownish felt and wrapped it around the letters and safety pinned it on the back side of the belt. Then she wore a one of her Garth t-shirts and a kid's cowboy hat from WalMart. She was Garth. lol
Take an older T-shirt or sweatshirt and paint a large letter "P" on the front. Then use black or dark gray make-up (eyeliner, eye shadow, eye pencil, anything really dark) under and around one eye.
Could you all dress in white shirts and black pants like waiters, and put a sign around your neck which says Waiting For Godot? Or the name of a popular restaurant in your area whose staff dresses that way? You could buy clothesline at the dollar store and wind it around yourselves several times because you're all tied up at work. You could get plain helium balloons, attach them to your shoulders and be cartoon characters with word or thought balloons over your heads. Write the name of your favorite cartoon strips on the balloons.
Copy and cut out local statutes, laws for the city, county and state, etc out of law books. Pin them to your suits and become...what else? Law suits!
Simple, cheap and sure to get a laugh out of everyone. Enjoy!
A few years ago, I was on staff at an elementary school. Teachers wore black, brown or white clothing. Someone brought in black, & brown face paint & we painted our noses black or brown. Ladies wore their hair in two pony tails to simulate dog ears. Others clipped construction paper ears to their heads. Some used rope or cloth belts for tails. Some made black labels & cut them in the shape of spots, then put them on their clothing.Some even wore dog collars. The kids loved it when they saw the staff dressed as dogs.
I have a life sized cardboard cutout of former President George W Bush. We all wore dark suits and sunglasses and called ourselves the Secret Service.
