If a single person fully consumed every Oreo I put a dab of toothe paste in, it would not be enough to cause fluoride poisoning.
Did you know you can die from injesting too much H2O yet there is a machine at my work that offers an unlimited supply to people?
Friend of mine set the clocks in the house forward by 4 hours including her husbands truck. She had to get up to ‘make the fake’ but yeah… he ended up at work at 1am today.
Mine is a combination Easter and April Fool’s day prank. The adults hid Easter eggs in the large back yard of my grandparents for us to find, which we did on short order. We then said that it’s our turn to hide them which they agreed to let us do.
Well… I told my brothers and a cousin to keep the eggs in a basket and not hide any. We then told the adults to come find them. Every five minutes or so we’d sneak one in so that they didn’t wise up for quite a while.
I don’t remember getting into trouble (this was 60+ years ago) but I definitely don’t remember anything even approaching a compliment on a well done prank. I do remember that there was never an Easter egg hunt after that. LOL.
Take a picture of the desktop, trash all the shortcuts then post that picture as the new desktop.
Watch your co-workers suffer.
I’m not big on April Fool’s - usually forget it unless someone mentions it, but this is a short sum up to my son being late to class in HS. We were in a minor fender bender on the way, (not my fault), but son hit his elbow on the stick. Just a bruise, but when he showed up in class at first the teacher laughed because she thought it he was coming up with a great excuse for being late to class. Then, poor thing, felt horrible when she realized he was telling the truth. - it’s a family joke now that doesn’t come across as funny in the reading.
That said, it’s the only semi-funny story I know - Is there any great April Fool’s jokes you’ve had or done? I think usually they are flops.
My grandmother was bad about April fools jokes when I was a lot younger, the most memorable ones were you had to hop in on one leg to enter IHOP, with the other one being the snake box prank.
thank you for all you do - we appreciate the care and patience you show to every life you touch.
OMG!! Damn, that’s terrible - and maybe funny. One of those, maybe ought to have thought that through a little more. My hubby did that once, by two hours, without a clock error. Poor guy was so tired later in the day.
but, but that was so funny & clever!! I would have burst out laughing and patted my son’s on the back for that one! I guess some people have a hard time laughing at themselves, or a GREAT joke.
Which reminds me of a time my Dad had built up this whole thing about “snipe hunting”: it was done at night in the dark and you had to be patient. It was a long con.
He brought it up every so often for a year and half or so but told my brother and I we weren’t old enough yet. Finally the time came, I was 10 and my brother 9, and he had us get the grocery sacks (from back then) and gave each a flashlight. It was dark the night he took us out to the copse of woods behind out apartment building and instructed us (for those that don’t know what snipe hunting is), to shine our flashlights out, keep the bag well open - kinda dragging on the ground so the snipe would run into it, and you had to call out Snipe, Snipe to get it to do this.
Well, he let us go on for a half hour or more. “Snipe, Snipe…” lol Finally told us there was no such thing as a Snipe. I just burst out laughing, and pretty much laughed on and off all the way home. My brother on the other hand was SOOOO ticked he just marched ahead of us. To this day he still takes things too seriously, is clever with words and likes to out argue everyone on whatever the subject is.
Some people can laugh at the world and themselves, and even their own mistakes and know when to apologize. Some just … can’t. I’m guilty of taking things too seriously on occasion and forgetting to laugh, but not normally (at least I don’t think so). Still love the Snipe hunt. Took my boys on it when they were the same age.
To this day we still have a big rubber snake named Pendejo. We took turns leaving it somewhere for one person at time. Sometimes it was weeks or more before you heard the screech and laughter. More like, I found it, my turn! Now we live in three separate homes and still do it to each other. All we have to say is, found it! on our discord for everyone to know what happened and who’s turn it is. Sometimes it can be months now, but we give thumbs up for the really good, “OMG!” scare or hide.
Side note. When working in mental health, I put Puddle of Mudd’s Psycho as my ringtone for the entire month of April one year.
Yeah. My boss was not happy with that joke, but also couldn’t help but laugh when he heard it. His fury at how unprofessional it was was palpable, but the whole office would crack up when it’d ring. It went off all the time with my clients present. Most of them found it hilarious. New clients however, gave me massive side eye. When I’d bring people into hospitals for a psychiatric hold and it’d roar to life, there were some real interesting conversations to be had with my cohorts in the field.
My go to pranks are usually something simple and fairly harmless. Strap a rubber band around the faucet hose trigger for example.
Did this once in my teens and my sister turned it on and got soaked. My mom not realizing what was happening turned the faucet on to see and also got hit. Double whammy.
my mom died last year on April 1st.
i don’t think I’ll ever enjoy april fool’s again.
sorry for being a downer.
Omgoodness!!! I love that! I’ve never heard it before. Great video to go with it, too.
It’s okay. I’m very sorry for you loss. Which you’ve probably heard so much it’s lost it’s meaning, but truly I am. My hubby lost his mom on Mother’s day so despite the actual calendar date the day is always tricky for him. Take care today. 
many of the simple ones are just classic.
I still absolutely love gluing a quarter to the ground outside.
It wasn’t on April fools, but still a great prank…
Me and an office buddy were messing around with embedding buttons into emails for voting and whatnot (before it was built into outlook). We sent a co-worker, Paul, an email that said “I bet you can’t press this button 50 times in a minute”
A few minutes later, our boss showed up at our cubes. “Hey Paul, everything ok?”
“Yeah”
“Well, just checking in, because I got your 200+ emails that said 'I F*ing QUIT!!!”
Jokes on you, I LIKE mint Oreos!
And I get to clean my teeth while I eat!
As for OP- I remember getting those fake containers of nuts or candy, and a spring-loaded snake jumps out at you, lol. I loved those.
My favorite April fools joke is blizzard turning an event that never has a low drop rate associated with it into a 1% drop rate smorgasbord.
