April Fools Day is coming faster than you think. The only reason I’m prepared this year is because I’m writing this blog. Otherwise, just like most people, I would completely forget and most likely get taken with a prank or April Fools joke.
I’m sure we’re all familiar with the day. It’s celebrated across many different countries. I’m not going to go into the history of April Fools because I have a much more important agenda to get to: the funniest April Fools jokes.
Pulling April Fools jokes, called “April Fools” (hence the name of the day), has been a time-honored tradition for many, many years. History has provided us with some classic examples:
- The Swiss Spaghetti Project: In 1957, the BBC news reported farmers having a great harvest of the Spaghetti crop and showed footage of Swiss peasants pulling spaghetti strands from trees. When calls flooded in about where to get and how to plant these amazing trees, the reply was ““place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.”
- Smell-o-vision: In 1965, the BBC reported new technology that could send smell waves through the television airwaves to the public. They repeated this online in 2007. Sadly to say, I was seriously taken by this one and am just finding out now what a dope I am!
Yes, indeed- history has some great April Fools, but what about you? What are you going to do about your funny April Fools joke?
Chances are, if you are reading this, you are probably on a lunch break or at work. I have great news for you: I have five of the funniest April Fools jokes that you can pull at work! Don’t worry, they are safe and harmless, but I do not suggest playing them on your boss just in case…
1) Tape the button down on your victim’s phone that hangs it up. When the phone rings and he goes to answer, it will just keep ringing.
2) Leave a message for your victim that “Mr. Lyon” called while she was out, and leave a number for the local zoo (without saying it’s the zoo of course).
3) Place a post-it over your victim’s computer mouse eye (on the bottom of the mouse). Make sure you put “Happy April Fools Day” on the post-it for when they find it, just in case.
4) Tie a piece of cord under the victim’s office chair to hold down the lever that adjusts the chair height. When your victim sits, the chair goes all the way down, but when your victim stands, it’ll move all the way up. A funny, but harmless April Fools joke.
5) Finally, send your fellow employees one of these hilarious April Fools joke ecards to open at work! Funny April Fools joke ecards such as “fatal error” or “fake sweepstakes winner“ ecards are perfect to send to co-worker computers!
For the workers who know they can risk a little more with fellow employees:
Folied Again: This April Fools should be played in a bigger office by a big group of people with the target of one victim. Take many huge rolls of aluminum foil and wait until the victim leaves on March 31st. Go to their office (cubicle, desk, locker) and wrap everything. I’m talking pencils, paper clips, drawers, the works! Here’s what the outcome looks like: 
A really funny April Fools joke, but make sure the victim is a good sport first.
There are many, many other April Fools jokes, too. April Fools jokes for kids, unique and fun April Fools, and classic April Fools are just a few examples! Be careful and Happy April Fools!

Take an apple and carve a little hole in it. Take one of the candy worms and stick it inside the hole. And finally give it to some one who really likes apples and see how they react when they see the candy worm.

Nice post
Liked it. Here are two more…
1)Find a scrap of cloth. Place a dollar on the floor and stay nearby. When the victim comes by and bends down to pick up the dollar, rip the cloth loudly. Most people will reach back to see if they ripped their pants. One of the original classic April Fool’s pranks of all time!
2) Use a pin to make a few small holes in a plastic disposable cup. Offer a drink to the victim and watch while the liquid dribbles out onto their shirt.

Talk with your class about the joke. Tall your teacher that today your not going to do any work but sleep, and when she says something about detentions yell out “April Fools!”
Tell your best friend how lousy they are and your not their friend anymore then make them sad and unconfident and then say guess what, “April Fools!”

An office worker at a California Highway Patrol office was out sick yesterday, 4/1/08. She had turned in her notice to her boss the prior week and her last day is 4/4/08. She decided she had nothing to lose if she played a little prank on her boss. She sent an email at 11:30 am stating that her “plans had changed” and she wouldn’t be quitting after all. Her boss, not being the brightest bulb, took it totally serious, calling the Division offices and the CHP headquarters to make notifications. At 2 pm the office worker sent her boss an email with the subject “more info” which when opened said APRIL FOOL! in big letters.
Apparently the boss wasn’t any too happy at being had, and set out to write a disciplinary action letter stating the employee had “perpetrated a HOAX” on the CHP. She passed this by the Captain of the area for approval and forward it to the Division and HQ. When the employee came in the next day, she was told the letter was going in her permanent personnel file. Since she only had 24 hours left to work there, 11 of which were vacation hours, she just laughed.
What’s funnier?…a boss that doesn’t suspect a joke on April 1st, or a boss that makes sure every one above her knows it by writing up the joker as a HOAX PERPETRATOR on a form dated April 1st.
Apparently it doesn’t take smarts to get a job with the CHP.

Well last year, when I got home after work, I told our Excutive Director (where I live) that he has a flat. He replied “Thank you VERY much”! We walked ALL the way out to where he was parked, in the parking lot. He bent over and checked 3 of his tires when I shouted APRIL FOOL’S! I then did the same thing to our Program Director. She replied “___ You better not be joking!” You see, she said that because _______ and I walked past her office a minute ago. I replied “Girl Scout honor, I’m not lying! When we walked in the parking lot to her car, she checked 3 of her tires, then shouted APRIL FOOL’S! Of course she laughed, and couldn’t believe I had ______ walk ALL THE WAY across the parking lot!

1.) Create a flier, such as: Free Puppies or Used Jockstrap for sale…be sure to include pictures to make it look legit. Then leave the name and number of the poor fool you are pranking on the flier. Just remember where you posted them (King soopers, Starbucks etc.) so u can take em down after a couple weeks!
2.) If you have a white toilette seat, put white toothpaste around the seat with the lid up. This works great, I tried this lil number on my mom and she said her butt tingled for a week! hahahah
3.) put a grape in someones shoe
4.) Tape the retractable sink hose handle down and aim it towards where your victim will be standing. Use clear tape for best results
ENJOY
