C'mon, let's hear your best April Fool's Day prank. Either one you pulled on someone else or one pulled on you.
This should make for some fun reading.
 
Being a firefighter, this one hit close to the heart. My brother was watching my house while my ex and I were vacationing in Mexico. He called me @ 12:01 on 4/1 to tell me my garage had been destroyed by a fire that had originated in my Dart. Being awoken from a sound sleep, my first reaction was confusion followed closely by the realization that my car, garage, tools, & various parts were absolute TOAST! I was as sad as I can ever remember!

My brother let me in on the joke later on that evening, much to my suprise, happiness, & immediate need to get even! Rest assured, it has been 10 years since this episode, but the payback will be equally as devious!!!

Don't get mad, Get even!
 
About 20 years ago, while living in Vancouver, I used to listen to 99.3 Fox. On the 1st in the morning, they periodically played some of the songs twice in a row, and then carried on like nothing happened. Of course, around 9AM, the DJs played some of the messages that were left at the station by listeners who were trying to let them know something was wrong. There were some funny calls, and the guys laughed at how they fooled everyone.

I was doing some graphic design at the time, so I fired up my 386, opened CorelDraw2.0, and created a fake CRTC logo (for American guys and gals, this is the governing board that regulates content and crap), typed up a letter to the station manager about how the playing of the same songs in the same hour contravened some sub-section of some act. Then fired up the 2400baud fax/modem and sent it out.

About half an hour later, the phone rings, and it's one of Djs calling. He is laughing, and says they both got called into the station managers office for a chewin out, and after a couple of minutes, figured out they got owned.

Still got that letter on some 5.25" floppy disk somewhere.. just gotta find a drive to see if it still opens lol..

when my boss calls at work on our company cell phones,I like to pretend we have a bad connection,frustrates him to no end.I make him call me 2 or 3 times.
 
I work at a college in Daytona and our maintenance dept. has a very work-dedicated secretary. Sometimes she can be rather "difficult". So the general maint. dept. crew (7 guys) called in sick or called in personal leave due to "unexpected circumstances".
She fell for it and needless to say, wasn't happy. She had already forwarded all of our calls up the chain of command. I just happen to walk in to my immediate boss' supervisor's office while he was listening to them - He said, "Hey! That's you!" I said "Yea, it's April Fool's!."
Unexpectedly we got him too, but he thought it was hilarious and a good one.
 
I was just listening to the local radio station and had tuned into thier SWAP SHOP segment when a guy calls in and says that someone had called in earlier and gave his phone number stating that he had a 69 Camaro for sale. He wanted people to quit calling him because he does not have a Camaro at all. Said he had 50 calls in the last 1/2 hour. One of his buddies was pulling a good one on him.
 
I used to take those little things wrapped in paper that pop like a firecracker when you throw them and lift the toilet seat up and place a couple directly under the little round bumper on the seat then I would let the seat down very gently on top of them. When the Wife gets up to go to the bathroom early in the morning, BAM instant alarm clock!
 
I heard a good one on the radio today. take a jolly rancher and cut it in half and put in behind someones shower head and screw it back on. It'll take them forever to realize why their so sticky!

My grandfather used to take ketchup packet and fold them in half. Stick them between the toilet seat and the bowl with the fold facing in. When someone sits down- surprise!

IS that the "wife" in the picture? If so, I wouldn't goof around too much!
 
I was working today with a sales rep from a large lock manufacturer who I do installations for. We were installing locks in a brand new state of the art mail sorting facility(Canada Post),This building is about 600,000 sq. ft. so needless to say it has a few doors.Well at the end of the day we were packing up and he couldn't find the grand master key that opened every door.I had it in my pocket. He asked me and I said I don't know here it could be,you had it last.He started freaking out! Running all over the building and telling how much this was going to cost because thay now had to rekey every lock.:-D After I felt he had suffered enuff I showed him the key.:toothy10::toothy10::toothy10:


Damn locksmiths.:angry7:
 
It wasn't April 1st, but to be substituted for it due to the timing. Our new pastor's wife answered a "call" to join the military a few months back as an army reserve band member (awesome story in itself). She was still going to have to go through the same 10+ weeks of boot camp plus 6 weeks of band training. After she was all signed up, passed all of her physicals she had informed us that she wasn't sure if she would have to cut her hair ( it is beautiful, similar to Sarah Palin's) so I fired up a prank early since I would not be able to get her today. I searched the internet for info on her unit and some "outdated hair guidelines" and created a realistic letter with unit logos, correct names of her superiors, including envelope with addresses, and fake "stamp", and had her husband pretend to be breaking the news that her hair had to go. We thought we had the ultimate prank, but in her patriotism and her calling, she welled up and said she would gladly do it if it was required. We were now a bit misty eyed!
 
There was an ad in the local Buy Sell and Trade, in the Free section, stating..

'Used dildos and butt plugs, large variety, some newer than others. Ask for Nick or Darla'

And had a phone number and location.

I would only assume it was a prank by their friend.

I told everyone that their epidermis was showing. Of course everyone look down at their pants. Telling folks that their epidermis is showing can be used any day.
 
I had gotten an email from my boss today basically telling me that I was fired and I forgot that it was April fools day.
 
He's an awesome fun loving lil' guy, werks good in the paper towel roll, the edge of the frigerator door, the edge of the daughters bathroom door, taped to the screen door of the house.....anywhere he'll pop up when you use one of the listed things...he's currently missing in action ....one of the ladies of the house is holdin him for ransome....Poor Lil guy is missin all of the action, If found please return :snakeman:
 
Someone changed the sign on our Astronomy building by adding a G at the beginning, so it was the Gastronomy building, and put up pictures of food over all of the pictures of stars and galaxies in the classroom. Only in engineering school... it was pretty hilarious.
 
Here's one I just did. My daughter tells it best. My daughter accidently took my phone and so I had hers. But Dennis (the boyfriend) didn't know it. here it is in her words.

Okay, so Dennis thought I had my phone when I was at school...but I didn't. I had my dad's phone and my dad had my phone. My dad and Dennis were both at my house.

So here the story goes (through text message):

Dennis: Get me smokes please!!!
My dad: Go to hell
Dennis: Fine no sex tonight
My dad: Gee just when I want it in the butt (by the way my dads not pretending to be me completely because he always tells Dennis he's gay and gets it up the butt from other guys...i think my dad figured he would know who he was...but Dennis still didn't get it...)
Dennis: What!! That really turned me on Jenn!!
My dad: Shhh my dad might be listening
Dennis: That makes no sense (because Dennis knew I was at school)
My dad: Would it make more sense if I told you I had my dad's phone?
AND THEN IT HIT DENNIS!!!! BAHHAAHHA! DENNIS' BODY TURNED HOT AND EMBARRASSED!!

So dennis then goes into my living room with his Gameboy and pretends he never got that text... about a half an hour later or so..my dad sent : Did you get my last text?
And Dennis went into the living room and told him he "hated him"
And then they laughed....and now Dennis REALLY needs a cigarette lol!!
And by the way I'm proud of my dad for his texting abilities...I didn't know he had it in him!!!
