Default April Fool's Day 2017


It's officially April 1 in some parts of the world already, so remember to be careful when reading any "news" stories or company press releases over the next 36 hours or so.



Apparently, the folks at WestJet didn't want to work on a Saturday, so they put theirs out a day early...

I wonder what the jokes posts will be this year? Probably something like Flames are leaving Calgary.

Don't tell anyone, but I wired my neighbors house with 3 pounds of c4 and when midnight hits, I'm launching it to the moon. April Fools day you none dog poop picking up, playing your rock and or roll music too loudly while not shoveling your sidewalk jerk.

shhhh don't tell anyone.

The relief of it being on the weekend this year and you dont have to deal with the "Michael Scott" of your workplace.

Company policy states that holidays that fall on the weekend shall be observed on the Friday. Today is April fools day!!!

Of course its not a real holiday, saying that I need a fun idea for April Fools for a 6 year old. I'd like to initiate him to this crappy tradition.

Tell him your getting divorced.

or borrow someones dog and pretend he got a new pet. Then April Fools it away.

In the middle of the night turn on your smoke alarm and pretend the house is on fire.

Hide all of the toys in the house and pretend they got stolen. Same works for bikes too.

These remind me of the Jimmy Kimmel videos where the parents pretend to eat their kids Halloween candy and film their response. They make me mad. I know yours were jokes, well besides the divorced one we are saving that for Xmas.

even worse is that it's pretty easy to predict which user(s) are going to do it and try too hard.
