While he was getting his lunch, I opened a ketchup packet and squirted it out on the earpiece and handle of his desk phone, carefully placed it back in the cradle so I didn't smear any in a revealing place. When he returned a few minutes later, I called him (From a conference room, so he wouldn't see my name/number onscreen). Naturally, he picked up the receiver, and put it to his ear to answer it--and smeared ketchup all over his ear, cheek, and hand! The kicker was, he blamed another guy in the group for it!! The worst part was that he was a grumpy prick the rest of the day! Oh, well, it was worth it.......

at work with the ketchup packets under the toilet seat. Open them up and twist them closed, put them under the little pads under the seat, facing outward. When he sat down the ketchup squirted onto his legs and into his pants and underwear, he had to go home and change...

I'm always up earlier than the rest of the family.
I knock on their doors and solemnly say that we had snow overnight. It's possible in our area, but rare.
They run to the windows to look, and I yell "April Fool".

Last year I pulled it on the 25-year-old, and it still worked.

...and I fell for it every time! Loved it!

I don't like April Fool "jokes" that embarrass or humiliate people. This one was just fun.

someone left a co-worker a "While you were out" note to call a number, and the name of the caller they put with it was "Mike Adaver". The phone number was to a funeral home.

"Good afternoon, Sunny Hills Funeral Home! May I help you?"

"Yes, may I please speak to Mike Adaver?"
