What's the funniest way you've quit a job?

Inspired by EE's firing post. I used to work at a comic shop, and when people quit they generally did it in a funny manner. One guy who had recently found God, was working in the shop by himself on a Sunday. Towards the beginning of his shift he writs this 6 page manifesto on the evil of comics and anime, tapes it to the window for all the customers to see, locks up, and never comes back.

The boss let us take money out of the register for lunch on Wednesdays. This one employee walks into the store about two hours late, opens the register and takes twenty bucks out. Says "I'm taking my lunch money. And I quit.". Walks out the door.

The best has to be Ryan. You know the stereotype of fanboys, with their bad grooming habits, unshaven, cheese stains on the shirt, stupid looking black trenchcoat? This was how Ryan looked. Until one day when he walks into the shop dressed in a Tuxedo, clean shaven and smiling. Tosses the keys to the bossman and says "I quit.". Walked out of the shop with a huge smile on his face.

I waited until my lunch break, went into the staff canteen, stood on the pool table, got my knob out, pointed at it and screamed "Argh!" What the fuck is it? Got it off me! Get it off me!"

No, hang on, that's what I wanted to do.

I've never quit a job, but I've got a story about the person who quit the job before me. I was temping for a bit for a small lawyering firm while I was a student, and I got on pretty well with people there. They all knew I was studying computers.

After I left and was back at university, I got a call from them via the temp agency. "Did you, er, change anything while you were there?" they asked. Er, no, I didn't.

It turned out - and I had to work this out for them over the phone, unpaid consultancy but I was a bit worried that they'd blame me and I'd get no more work - that someone before me had changed the default Word template to include some VB with a timer on it, so that every time anyone opened a new Word document after a certain date, a message box would pop up saying "(partner's name) is a big fat bastard".
