April Fools

It’s rapidly approaching. I know that my boyfriend has something up his sleeve, so I need some inspiration. What’s your favourite, most astounding and all-around best April Fool’s prank? Thanks in advance!

I was just about to post a similar question. Sorry I don’t have any ideas for you right at the moment, but does anyone out there know a killer prank to play on some (high school age) students? I usually don’t do anything, but I might…

Well, one good prank that I’ve done with some friends to my school…

We took bags of sugar into our classes a couple days before and sprinkled it all over the carpets. On April 1st, ants were EVERYWHERE. The teachers couldn’t figure out why, but they wouldn’t have classes until all the ants were gone.

It was fun, and they never figured out who did it or what exactly it was.

hehehe I love this thread already :smiley: some of these were done as senior pranks too at the high school I graduated from…

  1. Person A holds spool of fishing line. Person B holds end of fishing line. When the bell rings for the change of classes they weave in and out of the crowd. Pretty soon everyone is tied together :slight_smile:
  2. Cows will go up a set of stairs but not down :wink:
  3. Two words…Greased Piglet
  4. Vasoline on the doorhandles is always an oldie but goodie.
  5. Crickets…have about four people take boxes of crickets (available fairly cheap from pet stores) and release them in the bathrooms…they’ll migrate on their own to classrooms, hallways…the cafeteria hehehe

hmmmm i’ll have to think of more pranks specifically for April Fool’s Day…being as my birthday is March 31 I’m usually the brunt of all the “early” jokes

Hmmm. I guess those are OK, but I had something a bit less destructive in mind.

Clear wrap the toilet seats…put talcum power in the hand dryers…umm…

Call an old folks home. Ask for a certain room number. Call that number, and tell them not to pick up the phone for the next 20 minutes because they will be working on the lines, and if the phone on her end is picked up, the person will be shocked to death.

Now wait 10 minutes. Call back. As soon as the person picks up, scream bloody hell.

The old person will have a heart attack. (Now, I forgot where I saw this one…Married With Children, I believe).

nineiron…tch…and you thought I was destructive…:wink:

I have nothing to add to this thread except Monster104, that’s HORRIBLE!!

My old man will go to great lengths to pull off a gag. .

Once, he used NASA-grade epoxy to permanently affix several carefully selected co-workers’ telepone receivers to their bases. This was in the days before speaker phones. The following morning–all morning–he called these people. Voice mail was pretty new back then, too, so most of Dad’s victims thought that they had to let the phones ring until the mail message tripped, like an answering machine. By fortunate coincidence, the last person seen in the office the night before was one of the victims.

You should see the twinkle he gets in his eye every time he tells that story–in the third person, always starting off with, “here’s what we think happened…”

Here’s one my wife tried on me 15 or so years ago. She sewed shut the front flap on my JC Penney briefs.

** TMI Alert **

But it backfired as I’m one of the “scrooch down the top of the shorts” rather than the “reach through the flap” users at the ol’ urinal. So that evening she kept waiting for me to refer to my supposed difficulties that day, and finally broke down and asked me about it. I was totally surprised to find out about it and we both had more fun with the backfired joke than if it had worked

In the days when IBM keyboards had removable keys, we scavanged an old spare so we could replace QWERTYUIOP with APRILFOOLS on the bosses PC.
