Your best April fool's day prank....

I always loved April fool's day ever since I found out about it...

My family were always pranksters (mostly my dad :wink:) and the idea of having a special day to try and fool people seemed great....

Anyway, a few years ago while with a girlfriend of two years, I decided to get her real good.... She had glasses (me too for that matter and if you don't have a pair, you may appreciate it less).

A couple of days before "the day" I took her glasses down the street (in the morning before she woke up) and had plain plastic lenses cut for those glasses, then the night before "the day" I made sure she got a good night sleep and switched her lenses up (let me tell you, that was no walk in the park, screwless frames require heat for the lenses to pop out so don't try this at home kids.....)

I waited until she woke up, I could hear her mumbling some things, then she takes the glasses off and rubs her eyes (as if that ever worked ) then she started freaking out (she had a test in collage that day too :evil:).

At this point I'm playing half awake and she talks about going to the eye specialist before her school starts.....

I'm not a bad person, so after a few more minutes I told her she fell for a really good April fool's day prank, I popped her old lenses back and sent her to school.


Any other good pranks out there???
 
Wow! That was ... elaborate.

My older brother switched the Salt and Sugar. Dad's expression, drinking his morning coffee still makes me smile. (He didn't think it was as funny as we did....)

i put a mini table over my brother's bed and scream so loud that it made him wake up and bang his head on the table
 
On NPR last Sunday they did a whole story about cell phone ring rage,and reported there had been more than100 fights over people's obnoxious cell phone rings. So they interview a State Rep. who states he has proposed a bill that would limit New Yorkers to one of four different rings, to avoid these conflicts. So they play one, and it is totally bizzarre. Having lived in NYC for a few years, I actually bought the whole story, and could see how fights could erupt on the subway over obnoxious cell phones. Came to find out yesterday it was all an April Fools joke.
 
My best April Fool's Prank???? I was born...hahaha
May I just tell you that we "April Fools'" have heard em all, seen em all and had em all done to us...yuck yuck yuck;)
Hmmmm, the revenge of the April Fool's....has a nice ring to it..
maybe next year...beware all of you..beware
 
I put tape around the handheld water sprayer on the kitchen sink. and it sprayed me dad. It was really funny even though he got pissed.
 
My ex-girlfriend plays volleyball. When we were an item I played this April fools joke on her, I though it was really funny. I put this huge Rambo style knife in her practice bag before she went off to practice. I still can't stop laughing as I picture this in my head:

She pulls out this huge knife in a cramped changing room (it was really small).

She looks at it like "now where the hell did this come from?".

All her friends see her pulling out this huge knife and apparently contemplaiting what to do with it like a crazy person.

A moment of consternation - then they all burst out laughing.

They all thought it was funny...
 
In college, we took a screenshot of a friend's computer desktop, moved all of his desktop icons to a folder off of his desktop, and then made the screenshot his new background. He was clicking on these inactive icons while swearing up a storm about how much Dell sucks. I had to leave the room to avoid laughing in front of him.

Make sure it is not a good mouse otherwise, if I were him, I would kill you.

that is really good. genius as matter of fact.
 
Mine always involved my mom. Two that stick out are:

Taping the trigger down on a sinks spray hose, so that it shoots right when you turn the sink on.

And, bringing home an "official" note from the principal stating that I was suspended for 5 days for getting in a big fight at school. That one was good. :D I was hesitant because there could've been major repercussions. But it all turned out to be pretty funny. She got mad and sent me to my room. I explained what happened like I was the bystander and that they "got the wrong guy." So she got mad and wanted to call the school to complain. :D

How did you get an official note from school?
Or forge an official note? Our school notes are speckled so you can't forge them...

I got ahold of the stationary and used the library computers to type up something official sounding.
 
Genius...
My parents would flip if I got suspension again...
This is what happened. There is this kid at school who believed beating a person up was kicking the person and then running away. I finally got pissed off so I beat him up and I got ISS... Except that time my parents were ok with it. They said it was good to teach that kid a lesson.

Yeah, I had gotten in quite a few fights up until high school and was suspended a few times, but I mellowed out fairly well in junior high and high school, so this came out of nowhere for my mom as it was my Sophomore year in HS.
 
I got suspended in high school because I said I liked beavers in enviro science class. Go figure. i also had a race with my frined on who could axe a tree down the fastest (I won) and would go to the store while checking the temperature of a stream (we had to measure temp beofre and after big chemical plant).

Prank wise waiting for gf/bf/husband/wife/roomate/mom/dad/life partner to go to sleep. then set all the clocks back an hour or 2. Wake them up saying that you both overslept. Most of the people i know are so confused i the morning they go crazy tryin to get ready in time.

My buds got me on this deal with a saturday, i stood at the bus stop for a good 20 minutes until i finally went into the store and they asked me what i was doin up so early. I felt pretty dumb, but oh well.

The absolute two best April's fools jokes I've ever played on my (still) wife.

One year, April's fools day was on a Sunday, and I purchased a lottery ticket with Saturday's winning numbers. I casually asked her to check the numbers that evening. She got a couple of gasping breaths in before I started cracking up. I think the bruises were gone by May. . .

When our kids were young, I had the diaper changing duties. On April fool's day, I took some refried beans into the room where I usually changed them. I came out with a real disgusted look on my face and a glob of the refried beans smeared on my hand, showed my life, and then licked the beans off my hand. My wife almost started gagging before I started laughing so hard I almost dropped my kid. It was a good thing it was a warm spring because the shed was nice and toasty for the rest of that month.

:lol:

I'm TOTALLY going to use that one when I have kids.
 
I never prank on this day. It only is valid until noon plus people expect something on this day. They are caught completely off guard on Jan 18, Sept 03 and Dec 12. In other words, I tend to leave a trail of unsuspecting victims throughout the year - speaking of which, there are a few people on my payback list whom I have left to stew in their juices for a while since their pranks on me. Time to start thinking evil.......:twisted:
 
Anyone remember the April fool's that TW did a few years back?

The review of their new racket "The Holy Grail" with guest testers called Pete, Boris etc.. ;)

I seem to remember Boris loosing his demo's in a broom cupboard LOL.
 
I had a student come in today on crutches.

Crutches, that of course, she did not need.

I was not amused!!! ;)

And dang proud of it!

So, a couple of days after the lottery ticket prank, it was a cold, drizzling Saturday. I set the alarm clock for 7 a.m. so I could head out for a two hour bike ride, since I was training for some event later in the summer and was really motivated. I grumbled the whole time I was getting up about how it was going to be cold and miserable until she told me to just get my butt going.

I dressed, went into the garage and got my bike, and opened the door to an icy, damp blast of wind. I threw the bike against the wall and went back inside, took off my rain gear, and hopped back into bed. I grabbed my wife's hand.

She said "Can you believe my husband actually goes out in this kind of weather. . ."
 
well today i didnt realyl pull a prank but here goes, a guy i really dont like and tries to annoy me was like "hey dude if i beat you one on one can i take your spot on the team?" annoyed and frustrated i said "you beating me? HA thats the best april fools joke ive heard all day" trust me it was better when it happened >.> I had the guy next to me power walking away so he wouldnt laugh
 
You folks need to watch out when you say severe jokes to elderly people. Shocking old people isn't a good idea, as they can get a heart attack... or who knows what other condition that could be dangerous for them.

That nearly happened to my English teacher today.
He's around 60+ years old and has a hearing aid on both ears. So for April Fool's our class decided to "mouth words" to him so that he couldn't fully understand what were saying. He began yelling at us to "stop talking" and "keep it down" and eventually sent 4 people to "detention" for disruptive/behavior purposes.
It was only then that we told him what had happened. His expression was priceless =]. He had to go talk to the principal about cancelling the detention of the 4 people ;p. What a great way to waste 55 minutes of class time sigh.
 
Accidental joke/mistake on myself: Had a very long journey, 4 plane changes to get from Europe to US again 30 March...I thought I arrived home 1 April, was extremely confused from jetlag. Still not quite sure what day it is through this brain fog, I had to look at the computer calender 3 times when writing this just to keep it straight. Yesterday I kept wondering why everyone was talking about April Fools jokes since I thought it was the 2nd. Thought people were making a joke on me...
