Best April Fools jokes/pranks.

Martin upset about popcorn prank

On a night when the Denver Nuggets should have been celebrating a much-needed victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, the franchise continued to struggle with off-the-court issues when an April Fools' Day joke sparked anything but laughter.
During Denver's 109-92 victory, a former Nuggets ball boy, Laquan Johnson, got into the club's locker room, took Kenyon Martin's car keys and filled the player's Range Rover with buttered popcorn. The car had a white interior.

Martin

Martin discovered the damage as he was about to exit Denver's Pepsi Center. At the time, he had no idea who had pulled the prank. Angered, he went back to the locker room spewing profanities and threats at teammates and other members of the organization.
"That ain't no [expletive] joke," Martin said. "I'm going to find out who did it ... put my [expletive] hands on one of y'all. I'm going to put my hands on whoever did it. You better believe that. It's [expletive] personal. You better believe it."
Martin, who has missed 15 games with a torn patella tendon in his left knee, threatened to boycott the postseason if he did not find out who was responsible.
"How 'bout if I don't play in the playoffs until somebody tells me who did it," Martin said more than once.
Martin stormed in and out of the locker room several times, and a person close to him said his anger was not over the prank, but over the fact that someone could go into his pocket and take his keys during a game. Realizing the culprit had to have access to the private code for the team's gated parking lot, he assumed members of the organization either pulled the stunt or assisted in it.
"The fact that no one saw it or had anything to say about it -- not security, not the equipment manager," a person close to Martin said, explaining the player's anger. "Somebody had to see it. He was wondering how the organization let something like that happen. What if the kid had really wanted to do something evil?"
Later, Martin found out Johnson, the former ball boy who is now the driver for teammate J.R. Smith, was responsible. Johnson apologized to Martin and agreed to pay for the damage to his car.
"It was just an April Fools joke that went horribly wrong," said a member of the Nuggets organization who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "The kid thought it would be funny and it wasn't. Kenyon was back at practice today and everything was fine between him and his teammates."

This site might provide a few laughs. It's pretty simple to pull off:

1. Enter the phone number of the person you want the call to appear to be from
2. Enter the number of the person you want it to call
3. Select media ('I want my baby back ribs' & Yo Ho a Pirate's Life For Me" are my personal favorites because they are so stupid.)
4. Submit.

my coworkers have been getting phone calls from each other all day yesterday and today. :slappy:

I set this up a couple years ago.

A colleague of mine is in Technical Service; therefore, he spends a fair amount of time traveling for the company. It just so happened that he took his car in to get serviced before he had to drive from Oregon to northern Cali. Once he got back to the office, I called the service center and talked with the technician that was going to work on his car. I convinced him (didn't have to try very hard) to let my buddy know when his car was done that they ran into a problem that was going to delay his travels.
About a half hour later, I hear my colleague's phone ring. So I start to walk down towards him, but stayed out of sight. After the initial greetings, I see my pal's face, and all of a sudden he exclaims, "You've got to be [Mark May]tin' me!!!" He continues on talking about how he needs his car and that it's going to be hard to get a rental on such late notice. I'm nearly [censored]ing myself as I continue to walk until I'm just in his peripheral vision. He looks over and sees me laughing, and he just shuts up. He handed me the phone and I thanked the technician for partaking in the fun.
Basically, the tech said that his car was done; however, it had fallen off the lift. The front end was dented pretty good, and he was going to have to transport it to a body shop for an estimate. :slappy:
