Anybody making plans? I used to bring a bottle of white shoe polish to work and put my managers car up for sale in the parking lot at a rediculous price with his work phone number posted. After lunch, I would make it down even lower. I'd love to make up some flyers with a fake Department of Wildlife letterhead advertising the First Annual Groundhog Roundup. Complete with prize money for many different catagories but I never get around to it. I did circulate a flyer once at work that said, Free to good home, pet monkey. Please give "Slappy" a nice place to live. He is good with kids but tends to try to have his way with cats. A co-workers phone number was on the paper and he caught hell that day. Anyone else pull childish pranks?

Years ago, I once made a slight change to the "support" section of my company's web site. At the very bottom, in small letters (gray on white) I wrote "If we can't fix it, we'll make damn sure no one else can either". I almost got fired for that one.  I still think it was funny.

Subnet you never cease to make me laugh.

I like that. Of course, you can always put your S.O's name and phone number on 4chan, but you better have a back-up sammich makin'and pie givin' machine in case she doesn't see the funny side. |
I like it!!  |
My dad told me a story years ago about a co-worker who bought a harley-davidson bike and was very proud of it. So, my dad used to go out intot eh parking lot with an oil can and put a few drops on the engine and a few more on the ground under thebike every day. The guy brought his bike in to he mechanic over and over to have gaskets replaced, etc. Finally, the mechanic told him he would shear off the bolts if he torqued them any tighter.  Weeks later, my dad got home from work and opened his briefcase to find 5 live wasps flying out into the room.

Superior planning. Take a piece of wire / string and tie an empty can under the subjects car.. just so it barely drags the ground. Next, prep the subject: " Hey Subnet... how many miles you got on your BRAND NEW Jeep ?..." Subnet: " Uhh bout 3K... " You: " Shit man ! They had a recall on those tranmissions.. they're all going out at 4K ... Jeep says they are out of trannys ". Hang loose ...wait until he cranks up and starts to drive.  It works better on office pukes that are unable to look under their vehicle. eta: One of my co-workers got away before I noticed... he drove 5 hours ( out of state ) sweating bullets and saying prayers... " gosh I hope I make it ". |

Once I went through Wally-world before going into work... Picked up a pack of DOG jerky... and got some real jerky for me. I started eating my stuff.. and offered the co-workers some of the " tuff stuff " - OUT OF THE SAME BAG. Amazingly some of them will work hard at it... one chick ate over half and gave up. Some of the others tasted it and immediately trashed it... I retrieved those and passed them out to other unsuspecting tards. |
I thought about the BIG rubber snake idea... Place in neighbors yard.. once seen -> prompt neighbor to " SHOOT THAT SUMBITCH !! ". It would probably be best AFTER a real snake was observed in or around the area. |

Put a blob of chunky peanut butter inside the toilet paper roll. Be sure to get both ends. Note: only effective if not on the dispenser, the majority of people will extend some digit to spin off the paper, and the shouts, cursing, and screams emanating from the throne room are priceless. The looks of horror upon exit are pretty priceless too. |

I had one older guy who was EXTREMELY homophobic. Every April Fools Day I would get a message pad & do him up one that had a number to PFLAG, a gay massage outcall service or something similiar. He NEVER laughed about it but the rest of us in the office about died................ |
That right there is FUNNY! I sure hope my wife sees the humor in it.

Had a buddy at work who, back in the 80s, came out of his home one day to find his Z28 IROC Camaro running with the back hatch open and all his wheels gone. He was screwed. This was in early-March around Iditarod time. It took him a week to get the insurance settled and another week to get new wheels shipped to Alaska. I knew what I had to do. I went into the office at about 10:00 p.m. when the cleaning crew is usually just about done for the night. I brought with me a large common screwdriver and six 4X4 wooden blocks cut from an old post. I popped the casters off his office chair and set the chair on the blocks. Then I put all of his casters in interoffice envelopes, one at a time, attached a note saying, "From Scott's Office Chair" and mailed several to some of the women he had screwed and dumped, and to others with whom he'd had feuds. His April Fools day was a gem. |
I'm actually getting married on April 1 Fo' real! No pranks, tricks, or any other shenanegins...  I've been advised by my lovely bride to be that if I attempt an "April Fools" prank during the ceremony, I will never see the pie, ever again

I always like to tape the handle on the kitchen sink sprayer thingy with electric tape. When anyone turns on the water to the sink it sprays water all over them. Then there is the old zip tie on the drive shaft. Or bird seed poured onto you buddies car. When he gets off work the bird seed will be gone and his hood will be covered in bird shit. |

I work in an auto parts store, so I usually just end up tossing a dummy battery at somebody. "Hey, would you mind restocking this for me?" :: pretending it's really heavy :: "OH SHIT MAN!!!" Not really an April Fool's prank, per say. Works great for any occasion. Colin |
We use to do that to the new guys at Sam's Club. 
|
Thats a pretty good idea... Hmmm maybe add a little microwaved chocolate to the " shit "... for color. My neighbor occasionally ties their dachshund to the front porch... I may add some hand formed tootsie rolls, or make a peanut butter mix / mess for them.

A friend worked a roofing job. I put a toilet in his front yard around midnight, shoved his garden hose through it and turn it on. The water shot up in the air 20 feet and landed on his roof all night long. He woke up at his normal time and heard that it was raining outside and went back to sleep. Rain = no roofing. He woke up to take a piss some hours later, still raining like hell but the sun is shining! He was NOT a happy camper! None of the neighbors or folks walking by on the sidewalk ever said anything to him.

For what its worth, Mrs. Bananas and me are at Treasure Island in Las Vegas tonight. Business. Really. April Fools Day began early. Tonight after dinner I went to get on the elevator and someone had crapped on the marble tile in the floor of the elevator. Not rubber dog crap from Hong Kong, but real crap from someone's backside. How does one pinch a loaf so quickly in a public place???? |

My brother and his wife drove from Michigan, down to Cook County Ohio and got a quickie marriage a few years ago. Well, 3 or 4 years ago, my brother pulled off a classic prank. He got on the internet and got a copy of the Cook County Seal or logo and proceeded to type up a bogus letter on a bogus Cook County letterhead. The letter stated that there had been a fire and resulting water damage in the Cook County records division and that several records were destroyed. Their marriage records were one of the destroyed records. Because their was no official record of their marriage, they were not currently "legally" wed. The letter went on to state that this could have several legal ramifications for them in regards to financing, legal documents, and tax returns. In order to remedy the problem, they would have to appear in the Cook County Corthouse and re-file the paperwork. My brother then had someone sign a phony Judges signiture on the letter. He also made up an envelope that bore the county courthouse's return address. He left the open letter laying on the kitchen table along with the rest of the mail for the wife to find. She bought it hook, line, and sinker. She got about 8 shades of upset and started asking him what they were going to do. He told her "Screw it...I going to celebrate!" He then proceeded to call me and ask if I wanted to hit a girly bar or two with him. Eventually he let her off the hook and she let him know he was an asshole. This was one of the most perfectly executed pranks I have ever seen. |
IF you are brave.. Use white out to write on the soles of your shoes, so when you kneel (this may only work if you are catholic though) so the audience can see it.. Brian |

Takes some planning, but I snuck into my mom's house once and reversed the refrigerator door (they come from the factory able to have the door installed to swing either from the right or the left). Then I made sure to be there when sh got up. My half-asleep grandmother was the first to go to the kitchen. It must have took her 5 minutes to figure out what happened. Then she tried to kill me! |
if you can get on base, theres a brand of energy bars called "hooah bars", the chocolate ones can be shaped into very realisic poo shapes, and will deform slighty when warmed. never did that for april fools, but pranks were the order of the day during downtime overseas. the enlisted and the ncos in my section had a sort of war over who could get who with a fake ied. us enlisted guys won when we got the Lt to believe an abrams track pad was an AP mine. |
A fellow ARFCOMmer used to arrive at the ER with a patient, while eating Dinty Moore beef stew or chili out of the suction jar...
OMG, It's the Phantom Shitter! I looked for the classic thread (by AROKIE IIRC) but couldn't find it.
