Bad ideas for April Fool’s Day Gags

1. Replace the salt in the salt shaker with Drano
2. Run April Fools jokes as Facebook News for months before April.
3. Exchange Sean Spicer’s American flag pin with an “I’m With Her” pin.
4. Replace Trump’s shampoo with Nair
5. Learn ancient techniques to slow your heart and body functions to a near death-like state. At your funeral, pop up out of your casket and scare everyone.
6. Forge very authentic-looking documents and show them to your kids, telling them that not only were they adopted, but you’ve now decided to return them to the orphanage
7. Yelling “ALLAHU AKBAR”… pretty much anywhere.
8. Put a “Kick Me” sign on Chuck Norris’s back.
9. Write your own obituary, and report your death to the local newspapers.

A friend of mine did this. You can still read his obit online.

(I can’t even articulate properly how much I hate this style of “humor”)
