What are some of the things done to you...or you have done to others?

best prank I ever pulled was on my brother, he was walking down the hall I stopped him and said "going to get a shower?" he said "yeah", I told him that dad said not to use the hot water as the tank's broken, don't even touch the knob otherwise it might flood. He asked if I was serious, to which I told him yeah, apologized and told him to keep his shower short.

10 minutes later mom, dad, and I are getting breakfast, and we see poor poor Jeffrey walk down the hall, shaking, his lips were litterally blue. I walked up to him and said "why don't you go get back in the shower and turn the hot water on this time"

the poor child said "b..b..b..but dad s..s..s..said not t..t..t..to" I replied to him saying "April Fools" to which he said he was going to kill me.

Mom wasn't impressed, but dad was laughing pretty hard.

Well since April Fool's coincides nicely with roll up the rim at Timmy's and we are "designer" types with fancy printers and such.....we did a Timmy's run and rigged up our secretary's cup so she thought she had won a pick-up truck (last years grand prize). We let her go for a good half hour.

12 people in our office are resigning today.

Here is one of the funniest pranks I've seen. It would make a great April Fools joke...but it could get you murdered. Not safe for work (language)...

For the second year in a row, Thad's friends planned a prank to make him think he won the lottery. They taped a previous night's lottery drawing and then bought a lottery ticket to match those winning numbers.

That is hilarious.

I got caught really good once. I got a sheet saying a tax rule was going to change and called Revenue Canada up to ask about it. They were as confised as I was until I read the french portion of the fine print. The person on the phone laughed, and the office started roaring.

I know I will not believe any news tomorrow, so I hope nothing important happens.

Ouch that's just mean.

I got engaged on AFD. I think the joke was on me though.

Years ago my room mates boss went to Mexico and when he came back he kept telling his staff about this girl he met and how many times he nailed her etc.. Well they found out that she was from Denver and even got him to give them her name. Somehow they got the last name in Denver and actually managed to get a hold of her. They got her to phone him up on April fools day and tell him that she was pregnant and her and her dad were going to be flying to Prince George on two Saturdays from than because her dad wanted to meet the father of his grand son, and to figure out what to do with the pregnancy. I guess he sat in his office all morning white as a ghost, and just before noon she faxed over their itnery and the second page said APRIL FOOLS! I thought that was a pretty well thought out and executed prank.

Plastic wrap covering the toilet is one of the funniest I've ever been a part of. That's more of a generic prank though, but still funny!

Buff · 03-31-2006, 02:38 PM

I wasn't a part of the prank, but I saw them set it up. Back when I worked at Canadian Tire one of the supervisors was also the head of the safety committee. Let me tell you, he took safety very seriously, as he should, but some would say that he took it too seriously.

Well my manager, and two other supervisors decided to play a prank on the safety guy one day. At our store, in the warehouse, we had two levels to the warehouse. All the smaller items went upstairs (on the mezzanine). To make it easier to get the items down the stairs to a cart a board was placed on the steps (it was rigged up on hinges so that it would just swing down to cover the steps, and would latch in the upright position when stock wasn't being slid down the ramp).

It was a big no-no to slide down the ramp, and the safety guy would right you up if he caught you doing it. Well they put the ramp in the down position. Put some boxes on a cart, and some boxes scattered on the floor. They used watered down ketchup and food coloring (to make it look less like ketchup) and covered one of the supervisors face with it and made a puddle of it on the ground. The supervisor laid next to the puddle like he was knocked out. The manager paged over the pa in a frantic voice for the safety guy to come to that part of the warehouse.

The safety guy comes running and sees the situation and was told that the supervisor was sliding down the ramp, fell and is knocked out... just as the safety guy is about to page a code blue over the pa the "knocked out" supervisor jumps up and yells APRIL FOOLS!

The safety guy didn't talk to them for a few weeks.

I gave a guy at work a messange to call Mr. C. Lyon and gave him the number to athe aquarium. He asked for Mr. C Lyon and was told there was not anyone there. After he asked "Are you sure you don't have a Sea Lion there the receptionist started to laugh."

On the radio station a few years back the Canucks were playing a bunch of important gamesaround this time. The morning of April fools on the radio the talk show host layed out a story like this: The night before the players were in Phoenix and had the day off to go golfing followed by a night of going to the night clubs. The guy on the radio sayed that the Canucks had a altercation with a group of guys in the bar and that Bertuzzi, Naslund, Jovo and Cloutier had been arrested because someone had been badly hurt. They were being held in prison all weekend pending a bail hearing and would miss the next two important games.

I hate to admit it but I fell for it hook line and sinker. It wasn't until I got to work and told a co-worker what had happened, he said he wasn't going top fall for an April Fools joke.

In Newfoundland the guy on the radio said that next winter they were going to tow the island to Florida for the winter so it would be warmer. Apparently the phone board lit up with irrate fisherman wondering how they were going to make a living.

I think it was a couple of years ago in Toronto that the FAN 590 had a contest to play a round of golf with Tiger. Only after a while did they reveal it was going to be Tiger Williams.

To be honest, that's who I'd rather play with anyway.

Cheese · 04-01-2006, 10:15 AM

Happy April Fools everyone...hope you never fell for anything.

Fuzzy McGillicuddy · 04-01-2006, 10:36 AM

Back in the early 80's, the Calgary Sun ran a page-1 story detailing a blockbuster trade involving the Flames and Oilers. The deal was Peplinski for Gretzky. I think the Edmonton Sun was in on the hoax too.

Maybe a few grandparents and the slightly dimwitted fell for it. But it was still kinda funny.

The day before April fools me and my roomates had one hell of a drinking night.... my one roomate ended up vomitting for hours that night.

While my roomate was preoccupied that night we switched out his listerine for Bacardi 151 as we knew that the first thing he would do the next morning would be to take a big swig of the listerine...

Well.... lets just say he vomitted again the next morning..

This ended up being a two birds with one stone thing...

Some of my other roomates friends were up the following weekend so when we brought out a bottle of 151 (which of course had listerine in it) we poured out a round of shots for the guys... only one of them noticed that it was not 151.. i dont think they ended up blind.

WestJet Asks Guests to Assist in Realizing Fuel Efficiencies

CALGARY, Alberta. April 1, 2006. WestJet announced today that it will be launching a new program where guests can assist the airline in realizing fuel efficiencies.

“Our Blended Winglet Technology has allowed us to reap the benefits of improved fuel efficiency,” said Richard Bartrem, WestJet’s Director Brand and Communications. “Knowing this, we commissioned a number of studies to determine how this principle could be applied inside the aircraft with our guests. The results were conclusively positive; the combination of specific hand and arm positions of our guests has a direct impact on our fuel efficiency.”

“Beginning today, we ask that every guest aboard a WestJet aircraft assume the inflight winglet position upon takeoff,” says Bartrem. “This involves straightening the arms at a ninety-degree angle to the side of the body, holding the fingers together, and positioning the hand at a ninety-degree angle upward. For more information, visit westjet.com and click on the ‘Blended Winglets’ banner.”

The airline is confident the increased roominess of their Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft will ensure all guests are able to fully participate in this cost-saving measure.

Well I have a friend, after high school we ended up working at the same bar. Now everyone thought he was gay, and as of this moment as far as I know he's not, but he kinda gave off that impression, he was bothering me one day and I had enough, so I went out front and told one of the waitress' that James came out of the closet to me the night earlier. It worked it's way around the bar before he found out. I laughed, he was not impressed.
