What kind of April Fools jokes have you played in the past

[Skeptical Democrat]

As a kid I got in trouble for putting blue dye in milk and green in the cottage cheese.

As an adult, I had an accomplice at work tell my supervisor that my sitter was sick so I was bringing my kid to work with me to work that day. He was pacing the floor and beside himself waiting to "talk" to me when I arrived at work that day. (He was the nervous type) When I arrived, I said APRIL FOOLS! He just about fainted with relief!

We had an April Fools going away party for someone in which we brought gifts that were to be joke gifts to be assigned during games at the party. They made the MISTAKE of assigning ME to pass out the gifts. :evilgrin:

I knew what some of them were, and the perfect person for the gift in the office, including the fanny warmer I brought as a gift - which was an electrical plug on the other end of a long tube with a rectum plug for an enema. *giggle* :evilgrin:

So, I gave that to the person who would get properly indignant about it! LOL! And to this day, she does not know who purchased that! ROTFL!

So, what have you done for April Fools jokes?

1. Started a fake news article today but fooled no one

I also came up with an idea for a prank that another fellow DUer executed.

2. My 73 year-old mother played a good one on me today.

I use propane at my house, and ran out yesterday. I happened to tell my mother last night, saying that I had to call the gas company in the morning.

This morning, I get a message on my machine - my mother, disguising her voice. "This is the gas company, we understand you're outa gas. I'm gonna send ya some over the line, here it comes. (Fart sound follows). Teeheeheeheehee, April Fools!"

Now, that might not be all that funny, except that it's coming from a very proper, sweet, little elderly lady. She really does laugh "teeheeheehee".

3. Oh that's great, LOL...my 83 year old mom got ME today!

Not a huge thing, but we had gone for a walk, beautiful day here in southern Minnesota, and as we got back to the house she gasped and said, "OH! A bald eagle!" because she knows I love spotting them, and I got all excited and started looking around for it, and of course there wasn't one.
She was pretty pleased with her teeny little self *lol*

4. ROTFL!

That would be a surprise from a totally prim and proper mom!

5. Today's tricks...

On a religious (Episcopal) mailing list that I've frequented for years, posted a "press release" about the publication of my new book, The Sandy Knoll: Joshua and the assassination of Moses, which apparently tricked quite a few people.

At home, set my wife's IE preferences so that, instead of opening to Hotmail as usual, it went straight to "WE LIKE THA MOOOOOON!"
