Is it normal boss fell from ceiling?

I started my first job at a law firm recently. I was in my office when I kept hearing a noise from above. This is a newer building so it startled me. Out of nowhere; the senior partner falls from the ceiling tile with some cords attached and starts laughing hysterically. I did not know how to react other than sheer terror initially. Then I laughed along with him.

When I was given a contract to sign recently there was a coloring book picture outline attached. It was Easter-themed with a rabbit and eggs. My managing partner was completely serious when he told me the paperwork was deadlined the following Monday. Out of fear, I purchased some crayons and colored the picture.

I heard this was one of the most prestigious firms in this part of the state and was honored to be accepted. Now I am slightly worried. Is this normal?

    It seems very unconventual but also hysterical. I would imediatley start watching the rest of the staff to see how they interact with each other. If they all seem to be very lighthearted and having fun I would say you have won the jackpot!!! On the other hand If they were all very quiet and reserved,and remained they way after a couple of days I would do like Pink Floyd says and "RUN LIKE HELL"!!! I hope you all the best!

    Ok they work outside the box but evidently get the job done. Maybe they just want to keep you on your toes and ready for anything.
    Ready for anything and the unexpected is a good trait for a law firm. You'll get used to it.

    If I was doing that to a member of my staff, I would be testing your ability to question things!

    I can't believe you colored the bunny picture out of fear...

    Either the guys are being jackasses to the new guy, or they all just like to have lightheated fun. My bf is a microsoft server technician and they love shooting nerf guns at each other.

    It's certainly not normal but the unconventionality of it all makes it seem awesome. Perhaps this is prestigious firm with an amazing staff.

    I get that law is serious and the firm is hot shit! It's a hard field and it would seem they like to break the tension a bit! I know it's high pressure and you want to impress, but roll with it, show them you can work like a dog, and laugh like a clown!!!

    I want to work there...especially a law firm where it can be such long dry hours of preparing and research...sounds so fun...I work at a very large well known company and we are always playing tricks and practical jokes on each other..but I would love to see the CEO fall from the ceiling and laugh about it.
