Have you seen any good April Fools jokes yet?

I signed on to Living Social before I realized what day it was.  They had a bonus deal so I clicked on it.  It was for a salon in a location I had not heard of. Instead of using the typical spa things they use meat products.  There was a picture with a woman with salami on her eyes.  I was actually thinking, cool, Living Social must be doing a new set of coupons devoted to the ?odder? things in life.  I couldn?t figure out where it was for (I didn?t wanted it, just wanted to know where they were doing such a thing), I clicked "buy" to see if it would give me more information (sometimes you have to pick a location).  It said April Fools?..well, of course it would.  I clicked on the movie on fast forward and there was a man rubbing gravy all over a woman?..   

I also read about the Google Motion one, but I found it off a site which was talking about all the April Fools jokes, had I not been expecting it, that one would have been funny.

  • DH is works in IT and he manages a database of employee bios.  He "added a new feature" where you could search for employees by height to reach things on tall shelves. Every search turned up a bio for Rick Astley and all the links from there took you to the Never Gonna Give You Up music video.  Yep, he "rickrolled" all of them!  I htought it was pretty funny.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling (The meme is a bait and switch: a person provides a hyperlink that they claim is relevant to the topic at hand, but the link actually takes the user to the Astley video.)

  • So you can find a employee to reach the things on the high shelves.....cute.  I need that.

    Well, the feature doesn't actually work (that would violate some HR rules)..the joke is that if you do try and use it, you get directed to the music video.  It's an internet meme called RickRolling.

  • I have seen a couple of Facebook posts that have me wondering. But nothing here at the office.

  • I got an email from one good friends... she said that she received a call from the front desk that she had received a package.  When she went down to sign for it it was two bags of flour from her new employees.  The card said, "Here are some "flours" for our new manager!  Happy April Fools Day!".  Pretty funny if you ask me!
  • I saw a sign on one of the copiers talking about a voice command upgrade and the "steps" you needed to do to train it.  Apparently  a couple people fell for it.  lol.  Dummies. 
  • We put some KY jelly on the phone recievers in the doctor's office.  He didn't notice until he hung up and his ear was all slimy.

  • Google usually has a good one - but I thought this year's joke was dumb.

    I think that is cute.  I like those types of April Fools' jokes.

  • One of my FB friends saw one that amused me. A Caribou had a trivia question that asked "Which 80s pop star shot to fame singing the words 'never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down'...?"

    Caribou Rick-rolled their customers today.  Big Smile
