Best April Fool's Joke

Since tomorrow is April 1, what's the best prank you've put over on somebody, or had done to you?

It's lame, but the best I can remember is the old salt in the sugar bowl.
 
i was like 8 when "pepsi clear" came out, my mom rarely let us have soda but i got home from school and there was 2 bottles of pepsi clear in there, i was so excited, i took the top off and started to chug it down, only to find it was WATER.

kinda lame now, but as an 8 year old it was trama, i was so pissed, but now i laugh about it, even though i'm still kinda pissed.

It wasn't on April Fool's Day, but when I was about 11 my Dad had a buddy over helping him put a new shower in our basement. After they worked up a sweat, he asked me to go upstairs and get them a couple of beers. I came back down with 2 bottles for them, and I had filled an empty bottle of Buckeye beer with water for myself. I handed them their beers, and took a big swig out of my bottle. These old bottles were dark brown, and you couldn't tell what was in it.

My Dad's buddy goes 'What the hell?', but my Dad didn't even bat an eye. Apparently he figured it out right away, because he wouldn't let me drink when I was that young.

They quit making that old Buckeye Beer a long time ago. But according to Google, Buckeye Beer is:

A Czech Pilsener</B> brewed by Maumee Bay Brewing Company in Toledo, Ohio

It's kinda twisted... but fun.

I may have mentioned that as an undergrad I lived with a cool roomie, and a moron. Well, they had gotten used to me having strange samples lying around for Micro lab (tube of river water I'd collected for lab, plates I'd swabbed from the bathroom sink, etc... all innocuous, and nothing too threatening.) Soon after I started working in one of the research labs, however, things changed a bit. See, the lab focused on replication of herpesviruses and HIV. That made the two of them a bit nervous.
One day, I decided it just had to be done. I took a microfuge tube (bout an inch long and with a snap-cap) and filled it halfway with ginger ale. Then I froze it (Looks exactly like a virus pellet--not that these guys would know, but ominous, nonetheless). I labeled it in big, red letters as HIV, with some gobbledygook official-looking stuff alongside, and then I popped the cap open and put in on the frozen peas in the freezer.

When the poor sap got home, I just calmly told him I had a sample in the freezer, and that it's all good as long as you don't open it.


Then, I waited,


A few hours later, I heard a shriek from the kitchen. He'd read the label... and was freaking out. I actually had to drink it to get him to calm down. All in all, it was a goooood day.

We used to have a guy at work that would show up at least a half hour late every day. He would come in through the fire exit door on the side of the building that was always unlocked during the day. Someone went down first thing in the morning and locked the door and put a sign on it that said Offices closed due to power problems. Like an idiot he just went back to his car and went home. He never tried the front door, or called in to see what was going on. He was supposed to be in a web conference sometime later that morning and his boss called him on his cell from the conference room on the speaker phone to find out where the fuck he was. He said I'm sitting here at home watching TV why. Him trying to explain why he never even went to the main entrance of the building was priceless. Nobody ever took credit for putting the sign up.

One year I took the day off for my birthday, so at the next day's meeting, one of my colleagues recited one of his epic poems about how all my various co-workers spent the bonus that I would have gotten had I bothered to come in (ha). Hilarious stuff, and we were all highly amused. The following day, he came in to find a letter on his desk from the CEO stating that as a director in an organization facing funding difficulties, it was not acceptable for him to make jokes about our financial situation, and that he should immediately report as to why he should not be released from employment. The letter was formatted exactly as one had been for someone actually fired the previous week. A followup email advised him to "note the date for his records." Still took him a while to figure out it was an April Fools joke. Yeah, that was pretty funny. :biggrin:

My father tells a good one about testing translation skills when he was in the Air Force... they would tell the new guys to write down what was coming over a Russian radio pickup, then leave the room and broadcast a fake report featuring a sneak attack to be made on the location of the test. Apparently it was pretty easy to tell if the message was properly translated. :biggrin:

My girlfriend just had a gyno appointment earlier today. She called me afterward and said she was pregnant. I called bullshit and she started laughing and said April Fools. My mom might have a heart attack if I did that to her. I just don't know why my gf would want to tempt fate by joking about something like that. No more sex for her.

How do you get the icons and the taskbar back after you delete them? as you can see I'm not very computer saavy either

empty the recycle bin before you do anything. then when you delete the icons they will be the only things left in the bin. when youre done with the prank, just restore everything back to the desktop.
