No April Fools Day threads yet? Ah well, so here's mine!
I'm going to the beach tomorrow with some friends, and I need to line up some good pranks. I've already decided to disconnect all the phones in my house. (I've been waiting to do it for soooo long)
As for my friends, I have a packet of mint tictacs which I'm going to dip into some ground white pepper, then replace into the packet. (I happen to know that they like tic tacs)
Me and my friend are going to pretend to have a huge argument, during which he will punch me in the jaw. I will have some fake blood there, which will be amusing.
My friend is going to ask out three girls within a short time span. (yes, he will be wearing shinpads, gumguards, and anything else neccessary!:p)
And of course one of us, probably me, will at some point pretend to drown.

What can you suggest on top of that? What pranks are you going to play this year? What are the best pranks you've ever played?

I LOVE April Fools Day! My assistant and I have a prank for the bosses. Shes wearing a short short wig tomorrow and we've been talking about her getting her hair cut off.....(its as long as mine almost) to set them up. They keep begging her not to.

Also, I will go to the bosses computers and under their Word Program, I will go under auto taxt and replace a commonly used word with something else. Like replace "the" with "crap". Its fun to watch.

Also switch the "M" an "N" keys on their computers-also fun to watch......i have more -*giggles*

Sleeping friends and sunblock. Stealing clothes. Fake shark attack.....errr...... give me a minute to come up with some more

oooooh *waits for forum 7*

I still like the old (but classic) celophane over the toilet seat trick

oooooh *waits for forum 7*
woah! I can't believe it's been a whole year since we got forum 7!

Scary isnt it

1) They won't fall asleep, they know there are pranks coming.
2) A majority of them are girls, and would get a tad pissed if I took their clothes. Not that I would even want to! *shudders*
3) I can't stay underwater for too long, so thats a problem. Maybe my friend could try that though.

Walk around the beach naked asking people if they have seen your swim shorts....

Heh, kinda hard to drown there! *hard bordering on impossible*
You'd need to be a real moron, which is why I'm doing it and not my friend! :p

It's April's Fools Day. If they can't take a joke...... :rolleyes:

(BTW: you DO have to replace the clothes if they're not looking.)

Not into that kind of stuff, sorry!
*plus as has been mentioned previously, most of them are girls, and no way I'm doing that!*

You shouldn't ask your friends, but just random people. Sunbathing elderly people

Are you claiming that people who drown are morons?

Why not?!? Free advertising. ;)

*takes notes*

Wow, way to twist my words. Nice one. :rolleyes:
I said in order to be able to drown there, what with it being in a harbour, and there being no waves, and the water being very shallow, etc...

ok...

Get someones cell phone and change the welcome message to read "No Service"

Do a "Print Screen" of the user's desktop, and then paste the image from the clipboard to a photo program, and save the image as a bitmap. Then, set the 'snapshot' of their desktop as the actual desktop wallpaper. (You'll have to hide the Windows status bar, and move all their desktop icons into a folder, which you can hide conspicuously in the corner or something.) The user will see their desktop as always, but everything on it will appear to be frozen when they try to click on it...sending them into a rebooting and virus scanning fit

Put a peice of onion or a clove of garlic inside the mouthpiece of a phone. Give it some time for it to fester and build up a strong odor. Then call them and keep them on the phone for as long as possible. I did that last year to someone *giggles*

Tie a string to the door handle and some random thing in the room. Especially cups with pens are funny.

If your school/work has a speaker system, put it on maximum volume.

Also, I will go to the bosses computers and under their Word Program, I will go under auto taxt and replace a commonly used word with something else. Like replace "the" with "crap". Its fun to watch.


If you're really gonna piss em off, change it to another commonly used word like "a" or "is". *rubs hands together at the thought of the madness*

Hide every sheet op paper you can find (out of all the printers too).

...

It's bloody the 1st of april! :eek:


About the beach thing, maybe replace the products against sunburn with something other, liquid thing, preferably with a nasty aroma... yeah, I suck at this.

1.Find a closed door with someone preferably sleeping behind it.
2.Seal door with paper except top.
3.Pop LOTS of popcorn.
4.Fill door to top.
5.Close off hole.
6.Sit back with extra bag of popcorn. :D :D :D

Hide the mouse.

...or maybe the best, depending on how sick your sense of humor is.

When I was living in Calgary, there was a radio station personality that used to make all kinds of prank calls (nothing new of course) - the biggest prank of all had a deadly backfire. A man had called in and helped to set up a little prank against his wife. The radio was to call his wife, pretending to be her husbands employer, and let her know that her husband was being let go from his job. The jockey went on to tell this mans husband that he had been caught having intercourse with his secretary, and that due to this glaring indiscretion (which, as they told her, had been happening on a regular basis) her husbands boss had no choice but to fire him from the company.

Well, the plan was, that as the jockey was saying all of this, and the woman was breaking down - the husband was to pop onto the airline and say the obligatory 'April fools!!' and tell her that it was all a joke and how much he loved her... He never got that far. Before he could get two words out, his sobbing wife shouted into the phone 'You tell that piece of shit not to come home! and tell him I fucked his brother too!!' then slammed the phone down.

Well... I thought it was all a joke at first. Newspaper stories a day later confirmed that it was indeed real. From what I understand they were divorced not long after. Talk about an April fools joke gone wrong! Ouch!

Edit: and yes, this was broadcast over live feed... that poor bastard... the whole damn world found out right when he did. I mean, its his fault for playing such a stupid prank... but still, what a way to find out.

In holland a couple of years back there was this radio prank, telling all automobilists to let the cold winter air out of their tires and put fresh spring air in. "Because the gasstations are all expected to get very busy, people are advised to let the air out at home"



So many fell for it :D :D
