Our traditional April 1st prank: Wrap a rubber band around the kitchen sink spray nozzle in such a way that the button is held down and wait for family members to get a drink of water.
I work as a writer at a trade association serving the radio sales industry. Every month, we send out a series of articles in a marketing kit that salespeople can use to improve their performance.
I almost always do an article that is an overview of a given industry, including statistics, trends facing the industry, etc. It’s accompanied by an audio interview with an expert in that industry. This type of article is called a “White Paper.”
This year, I did a phony white paper and distributed it to the membership - on the white paper industry. We did a phony audio panel discussion and everything.
Here’s the link if you want to see it:

I think it’s pretty funny.
The worst April Fool’s prank I ever witnessed was a friend ringing her ex-boyfriend (with whom she had a bad breakup) and telling him she was pregnant. Totally unfunny.
I’m not much of a prankster, but I do like the mayonnaise on the toilet seat!
My cube-mate confided in us this morning that he hit the lottery for $75K… Had he said $7.5K, I might have believed him, but I follow the lottery close enough to know that 5 numbers in lotto don’t yield that much.
He suckered in our 3 cubie… I wasn’t impressed.
