April Fool's pranks planned

[NFLDERS]

For tomorrow? or ideas from past pranks.

 

[Flamingeaux]

nothing big for me. I almost got fired one year for something that should have been contained but managed to escape my control.

 

[Meriweather]

no.....not a fan of any kind of prank or practical joke

Mine is kinda boring, but I am doing one on my kids. I made jello in glasses, stuck a drinking straw in it. Plan on giving it to them as "juice" for breakfast. Also going to make an "egg" by putting yogurt on a plate and adding a canned peach top. I can't wait to see their faces when they try to drink their juice tomorrow.

In the past I have done things like put food coloring in the milk carton, so when they pour it, it's green. Stuff like that. I don't like real pranks, but little ones on the kids are kinda fun.

When I was a kid I switched the sugar and salt and noone noticed.

I plan to glue a quarter to the driveway for the kids.

One year (when I worked at the same agency as my dad) I played a trick on him to make him think I was pregnant and I hadn't told him but everyone at work knew about it. I started it first thing in the morning but he didn't call me until about 3:30. I was sure I would've heard from him by lunch time.

A week later, I found out that I was actually pregnant so it totally backfired on me! DS is 8.5 now!!!

Not boring at all should be fun!

I did one about 5 years ago, and every year I get paid back.

Not so much a prank, but I have tomorrow off and DW thinks I'm going to work. I'm going to totally redo the garage. It's our anniversary, so hopefully she'll appreciate the surprise.

None planned.

Pranks just seem to go bad. Here is one that went wrong a few years ago.

Glenn Howlett's colleagues at London city hall thought they had dreamed up a great gag. They sent him a memo informing him that the really big report he was working on was going to be due early, in just two weeks. The tip-off was that the memo was dated April 1st. Ha Ha. Except Howlett didn't realize it was a joke. He received the memo while on vacation and immediately cut his vacation short and phoned the office to tell everyone to start getting busy. But as he contemplated the new deadline he worked himself up into an increasing state of panic, until soon he began to experience heart palpitations. Finally he collapsed from the stress and had to take leave from work. As he was recovering he realized it just wasn't worth risking his health to finish the report, so he filed for early retirement. At which point someone told him the early deadline was just a joke. He responded by suing for damages. As a consequence of his lawsuit, city hall banned employees from pulling any more pranks.

I'll be putting a rubber snake in the bathroom at work again. It looks so real!

One year I put a piece of printer paper between the glare guard and the monitor screen on everyone's computer. When they turned on their computers, they just saw a blank screen. I 'fessed up after about 15 minutes, but I think my boss would have been angry if we had wasted much more time.

That would piss me off! I freak out over snakes!

 

[PizzieDuster]

I'm never doing a prank again.

Last year prank ~ I called my husband at work and started freaking out that I found pot in DD14's bedroom and we were in a huge argument! I couldn't even get "April Fools" out before he hung up. He walked out of a meeting with a client he was preparing for deposition the next day. I finally got in touch with him while he was almost half way home to tell him it was a joke. Crickets.

I'm never doing a prank again.

Now, this I would love as a prank!

 

[okeydokey]

I don't like pranks. I wouldn't feel good trying to make someone look foolish and then laughing at them.

Ever?

I'd scream really loud.

When my son was 16 he and my dh shoveled the snow for our school and church. It snowed a lot that year, just like this year. So I woke them up on April Fool's Day at 5:00 a.m. and they both got up and got ready without even looking outside. They both went out the back door and couldn't see any snow. They called me from the steps and wondered if someone called me and wondered if it snowed on the otherside of town. They couldn't fathom that I would wake them up to go Shovel snow and there wasn't snow. Wow, were they mad at me when I said, "April Fools". They left and went out to breakfast. By the time they left, the rest of the kids were up and dying of laughter.
