April Fool's Jokes

[iggysbirds]

So tell me everyone what are the best or worst April Fool's Jokes you have had played on you or played on someone else?

The cutest one we took part in was with a Girl Scout troop and we served that desert called "Dirt" and had gummy worms sticking up out of it and we served this thick red punch that was a bloody color. The girls acted grossed out at first but they just loved it.

The meanest one I know of was in high school when a group of the "popular girls" convinced this one poor little girl that this one guy really wanted to go out with her. She believed them and was really upset (no I wasn't the one playing the joke or the one it was played on I didn't hear about it until afterwards!)

Our radio station in town a couple years ago announced they were having a wonderful April 1st parade to celebrate spring and over the radio had the sounds of the bands playing and announcers and all of course there was nothing there. You would't believe the number of people glued to their windows trying to "see" the invisible parade LOL

So come on spill the beans were you one of the mean practical jokers or the funny ones?

Actually, you got me today - a good one. The local radio station usually plays good ones on people. I remember one year, they broadcasted about a huge crocodile in the river, actually might have crawled into the town, but it was a beauty and had most people believing for a while anyway.

I didn't actually do this to someone I knew - but I came up with the idea for a friend of mine. She had a coworker who loved sponge candy. So we got some sponges and chocolate and made our own version of this little treat. Put it in a fancy candy box, and even shrinkwrapped it so it looked real. Coincidently this persons birthday is 4/3 so it was easy to disguise it as an early gift.

When she opened it and just had to have a piece right away - naturally. I wasn't there - but she chewed and chewed and chewed forever until she politely said, "I have never had it like this before." - The chocolate was so good that it really masked the flavor of yellow dish sponge! She kept on chewing until everyone burst out laughing and told her to stop!

Pretty cruel huh? :icon_smil

The best thing I ever did was to one of my poor, unsuspecting suitemates in college. The guys in the room next to me NEVER locked their door when they left, so I had to exploit it somehow. My roommate was into all kinds of electronic stuff, so I had plenty of screwdrivers available. Then one day I thought, "wouldn't it be funny...?"

Okay, so it was on October 30th (I think, anyway) and not much of an April Fool's thing. But I went to dinner early and waited for him to show up. Claiming that I had things to do, I hurried back to the dorm, hoping that he didn't decide to lock his door this time. Everything was clear, so I got to work.

I grabbed a screwdriver and took all the screws out of the hinges of Kenny's door. Then I put it back in the frame like nothing ever happened. For the next 20 or so minutes I sat in his room, disposable camera ready to capture the look on his face the instant after the door "opened."

Sure enough, he came back from dinner and went to open his door. It didn't open (kinda hard to slide a door open when it's sitting on the carpet!), so he tried unlocking it. Eventually he pushed hard enough to knock the door flat on the floor. Click! Boy, was he surprised! And the best part was that I told some of the other guys before dinner that I was gonna do it. Of course they didn't believe me.

After that people paid more attention to what I talked about, and always made sure they locked their doors when they left their rooms!

A freind of mine's wife gets him good every year. I think the best one was when she replaced the Sprite in his bottle with clear vinegar, and put it into his lunch cooler for him. When lunch came, the first thing he did was to take a big ol' swig of that "Sprite"! thnicker-thnicker! :eusa_clap

we never did a good april fools joke but we did a good joke new years eve 1999.
Everyone was talking about the Y2K bug. How the electricity would go out and all. We went to a big party at a friends house. My husband who is an electrician slipped out just before midnight. He waited until the countdown and when he heard one he pulled the main circuit breaker and the house went dark.

There was one huge gasp from all the people at the party , then complete silence. Then came the Oh My Gods as everyone rushed outside only to see the rest of the neighborhood had power, then my hubby threw the lights back on.
Some thought it was cruel others thought the joke was hysterical. My hubby and I had a good laugh.

LOL, funny tricks all :icon_mrgr

Many years back, my mom, sister, and I played an April fools joke, on my dad knowing he was a chocolate lover.

Knowing my dad is a chocolataholic, we wanted to trick him into eating a chocolate covered brussel sprout. Before April fools, my mom bought some brussel sprouts,some raisons/ and some peanuts. The plan was to coat the peanuts, raison, and one brussel sprout into chocolate. When my father would get home, he would be offered the chocolate.

Well, when my dad got home, he was offered the chocolates,as planned, and as planned my dad, chose the biggest chocolate covered treat(we knew he'd choose it ;)). Well, to his suprisise that large chocolate covered treat was a raw chocolate covered brussel sprout( :aiwebs_02 )..Blech! My dad however, was a good sport and finished the "treat".

Well, this morning, my mom got a call from her night crew. She was told that one of her favorite people (who happens to have a short temper) had quit because he got mad. They also told her that her best friend would not be able to come in for a couple of days due to personal problems. Keep in mind that this was at about 4:30 this morning. Next thing I know, Mom, is bawling becuase she's just lost two of her favorite people that work for her. Then I hear from the phone (APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!) All of her night crew had put her on speakerphone and did it to her. I am fairly certain she got them back today becuase of that.
