Re: Your April fools pranks.

Office type pranks? Take an envelope, a couple small rubber bands, and a paperclip. Decorate the envelope with all sorts of warnings with Danger, Caution, Warning, and Rattlesnake Eggs. Take the two rubber bands (You may need to cut them down in size) and run them through either end of paperclip. Then tape the rubber bands into either inside corner of the envelope. Twist the paperclip many times and make sure the paperclip catches against the sides of the envelope (but barely). Find someone to open the envelope.

Scotch tape the microphone aperture on your «friend's» desk phone handset.

Oh, and here's a list of jokes from around the web:

Re: Your April fools pranks.

3 years ago, April 17th

Back when I was a state agent I told my FTO there were shots overheard at a apartment complex. I had friend of mine who lived in the appartment in on this. (bear in mind these apartments are in slight disarray.) My friend was acting all crazy and told my FTO the gang of kids went into a vacant appartment that had the door knocked in 2 nights ago. (I checked and cleared the appartment that night and found a present, Scared the hell out of me). We go down and I had my FTO take the point to clear the appartment. I also had the county dispatch in on this so they didn't dispatch any units. (I had called in right before to clear it that this was a false call and we use the assist key if there were any real problems.) So my FTO is on the entry side of the door, He kicks it in and I pulled out of his view, Right away he heard all sorts of scratching, hissing, and all other funky sorts of sounds you normally dont hear. He almost pisses himself, backs out and say "WTF!" and the normal "Come out with your hands up!" He looks at me and I start laughing. I couldn't hold it back any longer. Here there was a family of squirrles is this appartment. The floor is pulled up so thier nails were making all sorts of noise ontop of the noise they made themselves.

I never seen anyone so scared before. His eyes were size of halfdollors.

I week later I went up to staples and bought an award for the squirrle drug ring bust.

Re: Your April fools pranks.

My friend told me of a joke he played on his wife....or should I say his ex-wife.

He got the early morning paper and wrote down the lotto numbers. He proceeded to the store and bought a couple of tickets one having those numbers...

That afternoon he left the tickets and paper on the table for his "then" wife and sure enough she didn't pick up on the date difference...LOL! She was so happy yelling and screaming and saying the things they would get....Until of course she saw the smirk on his face...Needless to say he got a "cold" response after that...LOL!

Re: Your April fools pranks.

I sometimes play on a neverwinter nights arena combat server. I am a DM there. this server has no roleplay at all, and is pretty much excusively for DnD powergamers. I announced new rule changes whereby people must role play the combat and only make forum post in char. it was pretty amusing, several members were upset, while others thought it was a great idea.

Heh, in our programming class a few of the kids write out naughty words by switching the keys around. Whenever a word has a duplicate letter they start borrowing from other keyboards. The best was when they replaced every single letter on one of the keyboards with an "n".

Re: Your April fools pranks.

I work in retail so pranks are harder to pull, but i still had a great one.

Over the intercom I announced that everything in the store was 90% off, then shortly after said have a happy April Fools, both my manager and some customers wherent to happy, but most did give off a chuckle.
