April Foolishness - Any good pranks?
My daughter seemed oddly excited this morning. Hmmm. I eat a quick bowl of cereal and go to rinse out the bowl. When I lift the kitchen sink faucet handle I get sprayed by the sprayer. Ah... that explains the earlier request for the rubber band!

The Captain (aka boss) at work has an 81 dodge that hasn't started in months and is stuck at work. So last night we moved it from it's spot and angled it across 2.5 spots. Then we removed one of the wheels and dropped it on some wood blocks. Basically made it look run down as hell.
Wasn't the greatest of pranks, our initial idea was to first move it to the CO's spot but the car was stuck in park and we couldn't get it out. |

Black shoe polish on black toilet seats, always good for a laugh.

Every Wednesday is "donut day" at the offfice; we take turns each week bringing in donuts, pastries, muffins, etc. I signed up for today, but instead of donuts, I set out a pink donut box filled with various fruit. The donut box location is on a short filing cabinet, and I stuck a box with real donuts in the top drawer. The result was that you could smell donuts, but you saw fruit. A couple of people actually were miffed when they saw the fruit instead of the donuts they expected.

One of my female coworkers texted an old boyfriend who lives in Cinncinnati and asked him if he would come pick her up at the airport... which is in Kentucky... not sure where or how far... I didn't ask. Louisville or Lexington, maybe? They're about 40-50 miles.
Anyway, he shows up, texts her when he doesn't see her, and she texts him back "April Fool's!!!" From here in South Carolina. I told her he was probably gonna call one of his buddies here in town and have her house torched. She said, "Nah, he's cool with it... Louis and I are going up to visit him this summer." Weird, IMO.

Just my annual...place a strong magnet in an empty soft drink cup...the lid and straw intact. Place on the roof of your car, drive slowly around town. Smile & wave when people try to get your attention.

I saw this one a few days ago (wish I would've had a camera!):
Sorority sisters in front of the college were filling someone's car with expanding spray foam. They forced the applicator straws through the window seals and had the entire passenger cabin filled. I'll bet a dime to a dollar that they have no idea how difficult it is to remove...they probably think it's like shaving cream. Wish I could've stuck around to see the owner's expression.

I once "exploded" the trim around a window with that expanding foam. The trim board split in two and ripped out the screws attaching it to the stud.
I would expect a similar effect on a car. |

The local paper had on the front page:
Obama to visit Blackstone. Four at Gitmo to be held in Burkeville Crewe to be by-passed Blackstone to sell electrical system for $15 million This paper always has some good ones on April Fools.
