April Fool's Day

Has anyone pulled any good April Fool's jokes or had any done to them?

Re: April Fool's Day

  • My sister sent me a text saying that she was so excited for my brother and his gf. I responded with "???" and she proceeded to tell me that they got engaged and she was shocked that he hadn't called yet. 

    My brother and I are pretty close and I know that he's already asked his gf's dad for permission to marry her and has been ring shopping. He asked me not to tell anyone else in the family about this. 

    Well, her text was fairly early in the morning and my only thought was that he was obviously just busy calling everyone in the family. So I said, well at least I don't have to keep secrets from you anymore. As soon as I sent the message I realized that the whole thing was an April Fool's joke. So I replied and said well now you have to live w/ knowing that I know something about that situation and am not going to tell you. Shoot. At least I didn't say what exactly the secrets are, but I'm sure that she has some pretty good guesses. I would think that she would keep that information to herself though.

  • When I was younger, we used to torture each other with the usual rubber band on the kitchen sprayer, vaseline on door knobs, chocolate pudding under car door handles, etc. Not too much since we've all moved out. My brother works at a gas station and debated making all the coffee decaf for the day.

  • In grade 8 I made up a few toothpaste Oreo cookies and nonchalantly got my teacher to eat one.  He popped the whole thing in his mouth and just started chomping away.

    The look on his face was awesome.  From then on I would gift him boxes of Oreo cookies for Christmas.  He followed our class to high school and became a guidance counselor, so that tradition lasted for a while.

    Someone in my office did the same thing today! They also put that since it was a new feature you may need to repeat yourself over and over again in an increasingly loud voice, haha!
