That FBI thing here was pretty good XD;

It goes to show how tired I am now...I was actually taking it seriously for a moment, going "wtf, why???"

XD So did I, lol. It's good to see that I wasn't the only one who fell for it, lol.

Ohhh jeeze.
Reminder: morbid sense of humor runs with my territory.

Okay, this time, just at work I:

-Removed the spigot thingies off the drink machines. Half the cooks got sprayed in the face with soda pop.
-Shot paper hornets at half the butts of the waiters

We told our general manager that 9 out of the 12 people doing evening shift had called in for various reasons. He FREAKED OUT. XDD

I convinced 6 people that me and my boyfriend of 4 years had broke up and that I "couldn't take it anymore." Results were hilarious.

My boyfriend, in turn, convinced a few people that he'd gotten me pregnant and that there was no choice but to push me down the stairs.

I told my parents I got fired and they freaked out for all of 15 minutes, then finally... my dad remembered the date. XDDD

I had a few other complicated jokes, pranks, etc. I think I did well this year. ^_^

Oh yes, I love this kind of humor. It's so incredulous that you're thinking "come on, this *can't* happen" but if it's delivered with a straight enough face, you'll believe it. Then when they start laughing at your believing reaction and you find out it's fake, you can't help but laugh too.

This made me laugh, Simim :3

i considered telling my dad he was going to be a grandfather... then again, even if he believed it, he'd probably be happy, and that wouldn't be an april fool's joke. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

It'd still be a joke, just a joke turned on you <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

My husband thought I should tell my parents the same thing, accept that I was too worried that I'd then actually get pregnant, due to karma's revenge (which actually sounds like a cool alcoholic drink!). Since we don't want children, I didn't want to risk it! <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

I've never liked participating in April Fools Day, but probably the best one prank that I've ever seen was on Goblins, the webcomic (the page should still be there). Basically, Thunt, the writer and artist told the world that he was suing another webcomic for using his character. Finding out that it was a joke really bugged my sadistic side.

Am I the only one who thinks it's kinda, hmmm, not-funny and in fact really rather unpleasant to spray someone in the face with sugary liquid, thus meaning they have to either change their clothes and wash their face, or spend the rest of the day in a disgusting mess?
