The responses have been gratifying. hehehe

You don't need to be creative. :Evil: will do.

Nah... I work alone, my kids are too little to trick, and I don't really feel like orchestrating something to fool my friends.

I just got email from darlet #1 who is in Mexico on a school sponsored trip for advanced Spanish classes.

I just wanted to let you know that everything is fine here because I don´t know if you heard or not but one of the boys in our group emailed his parents that he was being held hostage by a drug cartel or something as an April Fool´s joke, but he didn't say he was joking. Apparently his parents called school and someone from school called here to talk with the teachers. So he's in big trouble, but no one is in danger.

:headshake What a maroon.

Oh man. Bad idea, kid. :lol:

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Yeah, I pulled a joke on the wife. It was an elaborate joke involving money (or the lack thereof). She hung up on me. Maybe it worked too well. :smack:[/FONT][/COLOR]

Last night the crew chief from our ambulance called in to say that his wife was being induced today.

After thinking it over carefully we all decided that he was probably telling the truth as he really doesn't have enough of a personality to engage in April Fooling.

Also, his wife who is one of my dept heads is a high risk pregnancy, and they're probably going in even if she is about a month away from her due date.

I love how responsible and considerate darlet#1 is. Emailing you to make sure you aren't worried. What a sweetie.

Thanks, Dana. Yup, she's a keeper.

Nice. Very subtle, yet he knew it was something that would get a grownup's attention... you better watch him when he gets older, he's a devious one.

A day late, but my biology professor pulled one off today. He handed out a pop quiz, which is normal for him. Then we all sat there with our jaws hanging to the floor because all the questions were ridiculous chemical equations, somewhat relating to what we are learning but much much more in-depth and complicated. He let this go on for about a min or so before he said "Not really. That's all senior level chemistry major questions." Sneaky sneaky!

I'm pulling a few tricks today, because nobody will be expecting anything. ;)

Remember the key element to a good trick is surprise and fear.

Especially fear.

I always thought a good trick was all about the sex.

Did I say that out loud?
Cicero • Apr 3, 2009 5:51 pm
Ha! Good one Sheldon! LOL!

I hope you notified them of the joke before your desk got taken....Though after is good though too....:)

April Fool's jokes are almost always very mean. :(

You need to mix with different sorts of folk, Cloud!

I said the condom broke....positive results. It scared her but she thought it was funny.

Later that day, she told me her friend's boyfriend called her (friend) saying he tested positive for HIV. Not so positive results....
