April 1st Pranks

Got this in my mail today, thought it might help those of us who haven't done any good pranks yet.

----------------------------------------

It's April 1st, so anyone who hasn't pulled a prank or two.. Here's a few ideas!

At home -

#1: Remove the batteries from all the remotes. Hide them strategically through the house.

#2: Unscrew the lightbulbs just enough so that they're in the socket, but not lighting. This works especially well if you tape over the light switch, too.

#3: Spouse out running errands? Place some underwear in the freezer. Or their pillow.

#4: Get a helium filled balloon, place it in the toilet, close the lid.

#5: Place clear tape over the lock keyslot.

In the office -

#1: Cubicle walls can be dissasembled with a screwdriver. Completely enclosing a cube-mates office is easy!

#2: Pneumatic chair levers can be taped in the "Up" position, or held there with some dental floss.

#3: The office printer should have a healthy ream of paper. Slip a few errant sheets with the words "April fools" written on them into the stack. On the front if you're feeling mean, on the back if you're feeling nice.

#4: Place tape over the optical sensor or ball rollers on mice, or set their keyboard to german.

#5: Change the Windows error sound to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" (needs to be a .wav file, and can be changed in control panel, sounds and audio devices, on the "sounds" tab) (Also works at home!)

The Car -

#1: Change the CD in the stereo. Pick something they despise. Or, alternately, set it to AM Gospel Radio, and crank the volume.

#2: Tape a whistle under the body. (Ensure that the blower is facing the right direction!)

#3: Print out a "Just married!" sign, and place this on their car, along with tin cans/soda cans tied to the back bumper. Works especially well if they parked nose-out!

#4: Open the trunk, and very lightly tape it almost closed, but not latched. If you tape it lightly enough, the trunk should open when they hit a bump.

#5: This one requires a bit of setup. First, you need a 3 foot bag of packing peanuts. Second, ensure that your victims window is rolled down about 2 inches. Then, proceed with emptying the bag in the window!

I like #2 in the car pranks, myself.
