Be sure and watch the Swedish Commercial at the bottom of that page.

Damn, foiled again. I really need to get a faster internet connection so I can beat you to the post...

Back in the days when businesses answered with a live person instead of a robot, this was one I did once in a while:

I'd send my boss a phone message that Tim Lyon had called, and give him the phone number for the L.A. Zoo .... wherein even though they promptly answered "L.A. Zoo," he would invariably ask on autopilot, "Is Mr. Lyon in?"

My avatar is one of my favorite ThinkGeek April Fool's jokes.

The Taco Liberty Bell still makes me laugh 11 years later.

My Mom just back back from San Francisco at 3AM this morning. When she woke up this morning she was greeted by my Grandma saying they needed to talk after breakfast. My Mom was deeply concerned and asked what the problem was. Grandma said they should sit down to talk.

She then informed my Mom that she was moving out. My mom was distressed and says " But where will you go Mom?!' and Grandma says " She doesn't know but she's leaving!"

My Mom started to freak out, saying she was going to call her brother and that she can't do that!

Grandma then stands up and says " April Fools!!"

You have to understand that Grandma is 90+ and has NEVER pulled a prank in her life. I just about died laughing when Mom called me. She was torn between laughing and wanting to scream!

Way to go Grandma, I'm so proud of you!!

My Mom told me about a prank one of her co-workers made something that looked like, well, crap, and put it in a baggy. Then, he put the bag in her station, on her chair and waited for her to come and see it. And when she did, oh man, she screamed and was grossed out. Of course, she knew who did it, so she got him back afterwords.

I have yet to done a prank, since everybody sees right through me when I try.

Darn. I went to The Onion hoping to find nothing but actual headlines and real news stories.

We had something similar at work a year or two back. Using an old pile of dried up glue (it was a big brown pile) that looked like a pile of poo... it was set on the seat of an office toilet.

Office manager comes in and says OH. MY. GOD!!!!... puts an out of order sign on the door after everyone sees just how gross one of their coworkers supposedly is...

Until the prankster goes over and picks it up... hee hee.

It was pretty funny.

We tent to be more about hiding fake mice in various common places people put their hands... like next to their computer mouse... or a large fake rat in a file drawer. (works great since we have an on again off again rodent issue.)
