Foo - April Fools Suggestions

I need some help w/ April's Fools Ideas -- nothing too mean. Although I'm not too sure what too mean is just yet. ;)

Last year I wrapped a rubber band around the thumb button lever on the hose/ sprayer on the kitchen sink at work, so that when someone turns on the sink water, they get a blast of cold water. That's usually good for a laugh. :o

Suggestions?

Shotgun. Rock salt. Hilarity!

put some lye in the watercooler.

gets them every time.

Kind of lame, but it did get a chuckle:

A few years ago, a bunch of us from work called a co-worker named Joe. 3 different people called Joe's number and asked is they could speak to "Cindy". Each time Joe said, "Sorry, wrong number." After the third "wrong number", a female coworker called up Joe and said, "Hi, this is Cindy. Do I have any messages?"

I set all the HP printers in the department to have "INSERT COIN" on the status display, and and a cron job on a Mac to yank the message come 2-3pm tomorrow, so nobody will be the wiser.

I was thinking the same thing. Scacry.

Take a few cans of shaving cream, then freeze em. After they are frozen take a hacksaw and cut of the bottoms. Lastly put them in someones locker or in their gym bag or something. When the substance thaws, it expands. 2,000 cans or so should fill a car :)

Sneak up behind someone as they are about to walk down a flight of stairs and push them.

Sometimes they even get some well needed time off work.

Oh the jolly japery!! :)

;)

Turn on slow keys or change their keyboard settings from QWERT to Dvorak . . . . oldies but goodies (especially for your computer-inept co-workers)

I have been contemplating the following:

We have one of those vending machines where you must slide a small door open to retrieve your item.

Much like this:

I would to vend some product and while the door is open, put peoples lunches (from the work refrigerator) in it's place.

My wife is putting meatloaf in a muffin pan and using mashed potato's with food coloring on top. She is telling the kids she is making cupcakes.:D

:roflmao:

Skunk oil + Car = Fool

Take all of the toilet paper out of the company bathrooms.

Get a small plastic film canister and fill it with ammonia, then put a small hole in it so that the ammonia drains out slowly. Place the canister close to your choice of victom/s so they smell it all day. Makes it smell like a bathroom.

Make sure you hide it. :)

Just a Few (http://break.com/index/5-april-fools-office-pranks.html)

Go to the local jail. Use the pay phone in teh lobby and call your wife, girlfriend, BFF and tell them you have been arrested for an unpaid traffic ticket. Tell them you need $100 cash to pay the ticket and that your cell mate has been making eyes at you.

I did this a few years back. The guy that came and got me thougth it was so funny he did it to his girlfriend, then she had to pull it on someone else. By the time it was over there were likes 8 of us standing the the parking lot of the police station laughing at each other.

A few years ago I heard one about a guy that was growing pot in this house. His friends called him pretending to be the local police. They said we know about your weed and if you bring the plants in to our office to be destroyed we will let you go with a warning. To his friends surprise he turned himself in, and to his surprise he got arrested.

Go into the womens room and put saran wrap on all the toilets.

Clear tape under their mouse.

Dad made pancakes with a disc of cloth inside for us one April first. We struggled to cut them while he laughed.

Not all companies tolerate pranks. Remember harassment in in the eyes of the victim. Does no good to complain that someone has no sense of humor when you are out of a job and black-listed.

Phenophthalene in the coffee urn.

I am a server at a restaurant. I got the employees that were not working today to call the boss and tell her that they weren't going to come in today. She never looks at the schedule, she just calls the next person in, which is me. It worked so far. Once. I don't know how many people will actually do it but I know at least three have already. She should be panicking by now.

that's AWSOME!!!!! Se Pcad's thread for my joke

Someone called me at work one year saying that the were from the local PD and wanted to know if I was the owner of a green Chevelle with such and such license plate. When I dubiously answered 'yes', they wanted to inform me that my car was involved in a robbery and was used to elude police officers. They wanted me to come claim my car because it is now in the tow yard and needs to be released, pending photographic evidence. They told me that I probably would not be able to drive it because the criminal smashed it into a few parked cars and a pole before apprehension.

I sat there in shock for about 20 seconds until I realized that when I left it that morning, it was in the garage with two other cars and a motorcycle behind it. Plus I had my three dogs. The bad guy would have to go through a lot of trouble to steal it without my neighbors seeing.

I nonchalantly said "oh just keep it". I heard the person gasp and say "WHAT? But that's your baby!!" There were a few whispers and nervous giggles.

Then they hung up. :rolleyes:

Isn't that just being a jerk? :D

Yea but it was still lolable.

1. Install skype
2. prank call these people: http://dallas.craigslist.org/bik/627015778.html

Say you know of a "Franklin" who has recently been seen with such a bike, pretend you're gonna give em info but hang up just before you do.

You know if they go to the cops they can find your number even with those *67 things.

Something about this turns me on. I think it's that you have an old chevelle.

When Mich came over I let him touch it. ;)

Are we still talking about cars?

:lol:

eh.

That was a good one.

Hence why step 1. is "install skype". It's based in Luxembourg and they don't give IPs and account names of callers to anyone, so you don't even need to use a proxy. (Altho if you do something really stupid like threaten the White House, things may get a bit more interesting) Also the numbers appear on caller ID as a random string. You get 10 minutes of free call as demo when you install it, and you can make a new account when the trial runs out.

Also, this prank is actually bike related.

skype you say...?

Meh, I nixed all of your lame suggestions yesterday and on a whim ran some random joe six pack's left forearm thru a bandsaw. Man, I only thought koshered pigs and horror flick victims could spurt blood that far...At first everyone was shocked, but once I exclaimed, "April Fools'!", everyone got a big laugh. The funniest part is that the guy was new and his health benefits hadn't kicked-in yet. Looks like he won't be able to feed his family for months! Oh man, what a hoot.

That's even better than the vial of pathogens I took from the lab and mixed into the coffee creamer.

Ya'll are so weak. My prank was awesome. On the drive home last night, I was moving my mouth like I was singing along to the radio, but the radio was OFF! Totally freaked out all the people in the other cars.

Eh no biggie. They probably thought you were on your bluetooth.

I DO NOT own a Blue Tooth, that makes it even greater. I rule.

The other people think you do. Pwnd!!! :p

dang!

Something similar happened to me. Two "undercover" cops came to my door and questioned me for 20-30 minutes, saying someone at a restaurant walked out without paying, and they had a description of my car along with my plates. I actually was in the area at the time (sort of), but I hadn't gone to any restaurant that night. They didn't believe me, of course, but I never heard from them again after that night. I called the OPD, and they said it sounded suspicious, but that they keep no record of what their undercover cops do.

I had a similar situation in which two "police officers" showed up at my door pretending my fiance had gotten in some sort of horrible car accident.. hilarious.

Her cell phone probably just ran out of batteries.

Right?
