Did you play any pranks today??

[LiLIrishChick63]

i had this idea to post a picture of a pregnancy test on facebook that was "positive" but i figured "nah, people will probably know" but i talked to my DH and my DMom and they both told me "go for it!" my DMom even said she'd play along!

so i did it and i got a phone call from my DSIL(who is about 5 months pregnant right now) about 10 minutes later about it! i just answered the phone "APRIL FOOLS!!!" and then she...well i can't exactly say what she said lol. she told me i was the ONLY person who "got" her today.

i haven't responded to any of the comments on the picture yet, tho. i'm gonna wait it out a little bit.

so, did you guys pull any pranks on anyone??

I didn't, but had a minor one pulled on me. I'm directing the spring play next week and one of my actors told me he can't come to the show. I looked at him and said, "That's unacceptable," and he said "April Fool's! I've waited all day to say that to you!" Punk.

My youngest DD put a bra and panties on her older sister's lifesize cardboard Robert Pattinson. Very funny.

I pulled 2 really lame jokes today. I was going to go shopping with one friend to day and I told her I needed to stop at a store..In Philly She believed me.
Then I told this other person that her shoe was untied (She was wearing uggs). She looked at her feet.
Yup they were 2 really lame jokes but atleast i "got" someone.

I got pranked by our jury system and turned it into a prank of sorts.


I had jury duty today and it was my first day reporting in. I got called up to go on a 20 day jury trial starting Monday.

So, I called my boss and told him.


I think he still doesn't believe me.

I didn't play any but had a good one pulled over on me!

I teach 2nd grade and it's been a very stressful week at school with a staff member who is very ill, a death in the family of another staff member, and state testing going on all week. So it's been a little tense.

My principal and secretary conspired with one of my students and his identical twin in the other second grade. They switched at lunch and completely fooled us! The principal even had them switch shirts so the other teacher and I wouldn't catch on. Those boys pulled it off without a hitch and never let on. They even took a science test for each other. It took us 2 hours to discover the switch! And even then, the other teacher and I didn't know the office staff was involved...we we ready to ream the boys for doing it.

Once we got the whole story and realized the elaborate plans that had been put into place it was hilarious!!! And really helped to relax the building as word spreads fast in our building. I'm not usually a fan of pranks but have to admit this was fun.

I don't play pranks and I don't like pranks played on me. Pull a prank on me and I lose all respect for the prankster. Let's just call a spade a spade. Most pranks are nothing more than elaborate lies and I can't STAND a liar.

LOL, we (Holly and I) thought about doing this to Remy, but she would KILL us..i think she loves that Edward man more than us lol...

Oooo, speak of the devil...Holly just used the Edward man to chase our chihuahua Christian who is TERRIFIED of it (poor dog won't even go into Remy's room anymore lol)...I had to do the "silent warning" and frantically gesture for her to put it back before Remy (who is in the kitchen getting ice cream) sees her...lol, Remy's yelling, why is the dog freaking out??...Hol better run!!



BTW, we didn't do any pranks beyond toilet papering each others barns on farmville..yea, we live dangerously lol...

Hmmmm...plastic bags in dads shoes....no lie there. Play food potatoe chip in with his real chips...changing his e-mail to where everytime he typed in the word "the" it said APRIL FOOLS! Placing the big giant bubble wrap under a bathroom rug so when you stood on it they popped. The glue/puff paint mixed together and "spilled" onto wax paper (2 weeks before you need it) so it looks like you spilled chocolate milk on his lap top. My kids look forward to the day they can fool their daddy all year long!

My son works at Trader Joes and he plans his stuff weeks before.
this year he did the coin glued to the floor.
He put pins into the ceiling tile so when someone blew up a balloon and let it float to the ceiling it popped. People couldn't understand what happened, they always blow up a bunch and let them float on the ceiling and just grab a ribbon when a kid wants one.
and his favorite, he hallows out a potato, puts a plastic whistle in it and stuffs the potato into his boss's muffler pipe. Lat year the other boss couldnt' figure it out and brought his car to his mechanic complaining of a weird sound when he accellerated. The new boss has no idea.
I know he did quite a few more, he is famous there for his hijinks. Today one of his co-workers asked me if this was his favorite "holiday"

I don't play pranks and I don't like pranks played on me.

I don't like pranks either - especially the ones that are nothing more than lies. But the bra and panties on the cardboard Robert Pattinson is funny . Silly gags like that are okay, and even the "your shoe is untied" thing is okay. But I don't like the tricks that are just fabricated yet realistic lies that make the people who respond or express emotion feel foolish and look dumb. I don't see what's funny about that .

Someone I know last year told a group of friends (on Facebook or maybe an e-mail) that she and her husband were moving to Boston. When specifically asked if it was an April Fool's joke, she said that it wasn't and that they really were moving. But then later admitted that it was a "joke" . I still hold a grudge about that one .

Where were you when I was racking my brain earlier this week??

We did the usual rubber-band-the-sprayer in the kitchen sink but that's so old. At work (very small office) things have been very up in the air because we are trying to decide whether to allow the local hospital to buy us out and our boss/owner is very jittery about what to do. The three of us that were there today typed up a joint resignation letter (she often says she could never make it without us) saying we couldn't take all the indecision anymore and left it on her desk during lunch. She came out and was so upset, but kept saying "this is an April Fool's joke, right? Right? Right??" We let her off the hook quickly but it was fun. And just to be clear, she enjoyed the laugh too!

This may not make sense to anyone except gamers, but I logged onto my husband's game account (the game we both play, and both have access to eachother's accounts) and dyed the armor of all his characters.. it took me a good couple of hours to do. I dyed the armor bright pink. It was GREAT.

 

[laurie31]

There were some amazing ones pulled off at my workplace today. We were all ROTFL!
(the pranksters AND the "victims" were LOL- so no hurt feelings, and some people even got to be on both ends! - lol)

We like Aprils Fools day so much we are postponing ours I've got a sick kid today and a hubby with kidney stones so we'll wait till everyone is in better (healthyer) mood then declare that it's the first!!!! One thing I wanted to do to my kids was switch them into the others beds!

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Last night I stayed late at work, so I got small 1"x2" post-it notes & wrote APRIL FOOL! on them. I put them on the underside of everyone in my group's computer mouse, plus the ones in the conference room. So, when the employees moved their mouse the cursor wouldn't move. I think only one person went as far as rebooting his computer - everyone else started shaking their mouse & saw the paper when they lifted them up.

This morning five employees came to me with the post-its in their hands. I told them that I didn't know why they'd think of me first off.

I also went to a copy machine in another part of the building for another group. Photocopied a paperclip on a few sheets of paper, and put those back in the copy machine. So, people who printed copies from their printers would wonder how the paperclip got on there.

i thought about doing that, actually. i told my DH that i wanted to try and do it TOMORROW(the 2nd) instead of today so everyone would really be fooled but he didn't think it was a good idea lol.

wow there's a lot of people around who don't like jokes. idk, i like laughing and having a good time. i read a few things online that were jokes that i believed for a minute until i read more lol

Oh yes....I did the following:

* Served "Bertie Botts" jelly Bellys to my co-workers....the flavors included centipede, baby wipes, vomit, ear wax, boogers, etc.....hehehehe
* Had my daughters call my male co-workers and leave voicemails confirming their 2:00 mani & pedi appts. at the local hair salon.
* Changed the clocks in my house and sent the kids to bed an hour early

I love April Fools Day!
