Phone Prank

When my sister and I were kids, we would call random numbers on the phone. When a person answered, I would say (in a deep,
official-sounding voice)...... "If you could identify the following
sound, you will win a beautifully gift-wrapped box of Buckingham
China". I would then proceed to make a loud, raspy sound of
passing-gas, with my mouth. About half the people would immediately slam the phone down. A few would become angry and admonish us kids for playing with the phone. But amazingly, some of them would actually attempt to identify the sound! One guy replied, "It's a horse's ass!". We would then hang-up and dial another number. It was great fun during a rainy day when we couldn't play outside! That was before the days of Caller ID. It might be a little risky to try doing something like that today!

Robbery Joke

Here's an especially cruel joke that I executed when I was fourteen or so, and I really don't recommend that anyone repeat it. I was spending the night at a friends house and just as we settled to sleep we realized that the next day was April Fools. We had not planned anything, and now it was too late to make any props. Suddenly an idea came to us -- we'll rob the house!

We set the alarm for 5 am and put it under some blankets so it wouldn't be too loud. At five we got up and quietly moved a few dozen valuable objects to the back of the garage. We took all of the phones so that no one could call the police before we had reveal the surprise. Just to be safe we even disconnected the phone line from house. To add a touch of credibility we left a sliding glass door ajar. Having done our evil work we went back to sleep and waited for his hapless parents to discover the grim news.

A few hours later we awoke to total chaos. Everyone was frantically running about the house surveying the damage and checking for criminals behind every door. To our delight my friends younger brother was taking serious heat for leaving the slider open. Turns out the poor kid couldn't quite remember if he had locked it or not, and his parents seemed to recall him using it last.

Once the house was deemed secure and my friends dad was about to go next door to call the cops we let out out best "April Fools!" The mother was screaming mad, but somehow the father thought it was funny as hell. Thank God for that too, or they probably would have killed us both. Now that I am a father myself and worry about keeping my own kids safe from intruders I can hardly believe I would play such a cruel trick!

Water Gone Bad

For April fools I thought it would be hilarious if I painted on the rim of each cup and glass at my work, the nail biters polish. If it gets in your mouth, your stuck with a very bitter taste. So, everything that goes in the cup, naturally has a bad taste. The polish won't come off until you take finger nail polish remover to it. Everyone thought our water suppliers had a chemical leak in their building.

Push or Pull?

I remember not too long ago, about a year I'm approximating. It was April Fool's Day and my friend and I planned for this day for a very long time (2 HOURS!!). We went to a crowded supermarket that had an entrance with no employees in sight. So... we opened the door and where it said "Pull" we pulled the sticker and stuck it on the front of the door, and then we opened the door again and where it said "Push" we pulled that sticker as well and stuck it on the other side. This plan wasn't my idea, it was my friends and I had warned her that people do not read the signs. I WAS WRONG!! They do read it, surprisingly (I guess it's just me).

We also rented a tinted van and we sat at the back of the car (comfortably) with popcorn and soda. Our first victim was an old woman about the age of 60-70. She pulled the door, and it didn't let her enter (obviously), so she did it again, still nothing happened. After about her 6th attempt she started knocking, a young man came trying to open to the door, but he himself was confused, because he was pushing. So they were both stuck. My friend and I were laughing so hard the car started moving and we even distracted her for a sec. Then finally someone else came and solved their problem. It was the funniest day of my life.

Bully Bashing

There was this bully in sixth grade that everyone hated, but he managed to find special time to pick on me. So one day I decided to get back, I had gotten a chemistry set a while ago so I took the beaker and stand, in the beaker went; vinegar, toothpaste, mustard, pickle juice, old milk, ketchup, garlic powder, this arousal spray that smelled like sulfur (Fart spray), and, I think, some orange juice. The next day I brought air freshener and the evil concoction (in a tin lunch box with the stopper in it) in my back pack. I stayed for extra help so I would be the last to leave. After that was over I went to his locker put the stinky stuff in it took out the stopper and put it on the stand. I spayed my lunch box with the air freshener, as well as my back pack and locker, then left. Did I mention it was on a Friday in June?

Alarmed

When I was in the eighth grade at school, we went on a trip to Quebec City. I was in a room with 3 other girls named Sarah, Tory and Beth. On the last night, Beth fell asleep first. Sarah, Tory and I decided that we couldn't let this opportunity go to waste so we thought up a prank to play on her. We took off her watch and set the time to an hour ahead of the normal time and we also set her alarm to 7:00 am (which was what time we were supposed to wake up the next morning). We put the watch back on her arm and set our watch to wake us up a bit earlier than hers.

The next morning, we woke up while Beth was still sleeping. We quietly put all of our luggage into the closet and made the beds. We got rid of anything that could have been ours. We went into the closet and waited. Beth's watch woke her up. She looked at her watch, then around the room. She thought we had left without her! She was scrambling around the room to get all of her stuff together. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my entire life. We told her she wasn't late and that we hadn't let yet. She was furious with us but the look on her face was priceless.

Oral Fixation

My co-worker goes out to have a smoke every hour on the hour and I was getting really sick and tired of covering for him while he has gone for 20 minutes at a time. So one day while he was in a meeting I took his cigarettes and dipped the filter ends of them in Orajel. A friend of mine who is also a smoker, told me that while they where outside smoking my co-worker was complaining that it must going to snow soon because it was so cold outside his lips where going numb.

Something To Chew On

I had a co-worker who constantly chewed the ends of his pens. So, on April Fool's Day several years ago, I purchased one of those clear liquids you use to help kids stop sucking their thumbs. The liquid is a clear, odor-less liquid that has a distinctly bitter taste. While the co-worker was at lunch, I dipped the ends of all his pens into the liquid and went back to my desk to listen. I could hardly contain myself when I heard him exclaim "Eww! What'd you do to my pens!"

Space Shuttle Diverted

I work as an air traffic controller, and about 4 years ago, one of our controllers had the facility that works Edwards AFB to force us a progress strip ( it is the information we get on inbound aircraft) telling us that the B747 that carries the shuttle on it's back was diverting to our airport because of winds. He also had called one of our airport hangers and asked them to have it park at a certain location when it arrived.

Well the supervisors were all ready to handle this and notified the airport management. Well the joke became more public and the city called in workers on overtime to have the ramp swept for the arrival. Before the controller could call off the April Fool Joke, he had egg all over his face.

Monkey Babies

Ok, i dont suggest actually trying this because i got into a lot of trouble for it, but just for the laugh i thought it was worth it.

Me and this girl at school have regularly disagreed about many things and she started rumors about me and a guy. The day i found this out i asked her why she had done this and she denied the whole thing. I told her that she could have the guy and that i hoped they make monkey babies together but be sure to send me a picture (by the way, the girl was ugly, resembling a monkey and the guy had long hair also resembling a monkey).

So anyways, i got an idea to get revenge on her. I got on the net and found a picture of her on her website so i copy / pasted that picture along with a picture of a monkey baby on a sheet of paper and wrote : "Cheerleader gives birth to monkey baby! Should she still make the squad?" I took a copy to school and one of my guy friends made over 100 copies and handed them out to everyone at school!

The prank worked but the dumb guy that i got to make the copies left a paper in the copy room so the principal found out and me and the guy both suffered through 2 days of ISS! So if your gunna do this then make sure to be real smart about it !!!

Locker Up!

In our school everything was built cheap. Including our lockers. It only took a few days for people in our high school to realize that all we have to do is lift up and slightly hit the lockers with our palms for them to open. This has become very useful to everyone for passing notes and such with friends that we don’t see that often during school hours.

Anyway, my best friend and me are somewhat mischievous and love April Fools Day. We decided since the lockers open so easy to have a little fun with them. We collected all of our close friends (people who wouldn’t be upset for messing with their stuff) locker numbers without them noticing. Once we got their locker numbers we stayed after school on the Monday, the day before April Fool's Day and took out every thing in everybody’s locker. We took all their books and every little sticker and just laid them in the hall with a piece of paper to remind us whose stuff it was. Once we did this we put everything of one persons in a different persons locker. In the lockers with the other people’s stuff we left a little sticky note describing the person with their books.

It was the funniest thing watching about 50 different people open their lockers with stuff that didn’t belong to them. Everybody in our "click" figured out it was Jodi and I because we were the only ones who didn’t have other people’s stuff in our locker. They are all planning a huge thing on us. We are still waiting for this years April Fool's Day!

The Long Pee

My father's favorite prank was one he pulled at a party many years ago. The guest bath/powder room was just next to the room with the party, so it was possible to hear when people used the toilet. My father went in with a hidden bottle filled with water. He slowly poured it into the toilet, making sure it took a very long time.

After a little while people's conversations began to drop off as
everyone became aware of the ongoing sound and stopped to listen. Finally the entire room was silent.

Work Pranks

I worked in an Accountants office for just over 2 years in there IT department.

A few years ago on the night before April 1st I set-up my 2 pranks.

1st prank: I glued the handset of a colleagues phone to his phone. That morning I made sure I got to work before him. As soon as he sat down I snuck to a adjacent desk and dialled his extension. Sure enough as he went to answer he proceeded to lift the entire phone to his ear.

2nd prank: The night before April 1st I chose a few unsuspecting users keyboards and popped a few random keys off. I put them back on the keyboard (obviously in the wrong places). You'd be amazed at the number of people now days who can't touch type. Looking at these users and the confused look on there faces as they attempted to type there passwords in was classic.

My favorite pratical jokes:

1. TP a car. Make colored lips, eyes, etc. & give the car a face.
2. Flame someone (put 100 pink flamingos in the front yard).
3. Send flowers to yourself from a famous person
4. Use a computer graphics program to type up a really wild phone bill.

Let Them Eat Cake!

I learned this one from my mother.

For a home-made birthday cake, frost a cellulose sponge (make sure it has small holes for easier frosting). Decorate it as you would a regular cake. Give your victim a plastic knife, they'll never be able to cut into it! Their expression is priceless!

Tired Old Joke

One year my brother and cousin decided to fool the drivers on the road. We lived on a ranch off of a graveled road. oft times there were holes in the road that would make things on trucks bounce off. My brother and cousin, took a old tire and greased it up to make it look shiny and new. They tied a wire onto it, and put it just off the road.

They hid in the brush off the road. When the cars coming down the road would shine on the tire, the people would stop. They would go to pick it up and they would pull a little, then the person would try to pick it up again. they would pull again. by that time the person from the car would try to catch the boys. They ran down the field to keep away. They did this to many of the travelers that night. Having a great laugh
as they did it.
