    Your prank?

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Have you been April Fooled yet? Are you going to "get" someone?

    Do share your evil plans.

    I have two things up my sleeve to the unsuspecting husband, but I can't divulge them until post 5 pm mountain time. There might be spies everywhere. Bwahahahaha!

    A scourge on you and all your April-fooling kind.

    I work with a young pup in the office who does not need April 1st for pranks. Last week he taped everyone's phone button/thingy down for no dial tone, and covered all the ear-piece holes with black electrical tape.

    Aaah, to have so much energy!

    Not anything good, yet. But there is still time. Although I just checked my gmail account and noticed the Custom Time link.

    I really wanted to pull one this year, but I wasn't in enough of a devious mindset to do anything good.

    Just caught a good one by CodePink (a women's peace organization). They wrote a whole letter, ostensibly by Senator Conyers (I think he's the chairman of the Senate Justice committee?) on why he has changed his mind and decided to set the ball rolling on impeachment of Cheney and Bush. The letter sounds just like the kind of thing politicians write, right up to the end where they put in "April Fools!" Then they add their pitch that we all should call Conyers and turn the "trick" into reality by saying how we wish he'd really meant it. So ... I called! Not that I was fooled, but I sure wished it'd been true!

    On another forum a friend and I were going to confess to having an affair for the last 2 years. But we chickened out...it could have backfired horribly.

    I had jury duty today and I was glad that I was away from 7th graders.
    I hate April Fool's Day.
    Can you tell I have no sense of humor????

    www.cyclingnews.com has some April 1st fun! A time trial relay would have been run to watch in the TdF. . .

    I just went to the office candy stash, and found a banana and carrots! Drat! Guess I didn't need the sugar anyway...

    Okay - the spies are gone- here's what we did.

    The receptionist from my kids' school lives across the street from us.

    I sent the kids to school and hubby went to work - as usual.

    The kids and I arranged for the receptionist to call my hubby at work around lunchtime and tell him that one of the kids was sick - had thrown up in school - and that they couldn't reach me. He left work a bit early and headed to the school to pick our son up.

    When he got there, all three kids and myself met him and took him to lunch. We had fun.

    The second prank that I was going to pull backfired. I had planned on riding my bike to his work later today and putting it in the back of his truck and driving the truck home without telling him. It didn't work though, he decided to ride his bike back to work after we got done having lunch with him. Next year!!

    I got pranked by my son's friend's mom, which in turn led me to prank my boy but good.

    My son goes to camp in Vermont every September. This year his friend is old enough to go, and they dithered until the last minute, but finally registered him. Then I got an email from his mom today that said she received an email from camp that said it was FULL and he didn't get in.

    When I sympathized with her via email, she waited a couple of hours and then told me it was just a prank. I had a good laugh, then went outside to find my son.

    I told him camp was canceled.

    He almost cried, so I had to fess up right away!

    I am the "webmaster" or our local cycling club (yahoo group) & I posted today's ride with a start time of 5:15 p.m. & distance at 150 miles. I had two emails from club members asking if 1. it was accurate and 2. if we could finish that distance if we didn't start until 5:15!!!

    Nice one! You just made me think of a bunch of good ones a person could pull in a hospital (having these fictitious people paged overhead):
    "Angie O'Plasty, to the cath lab, stat!"
    "Billy Rubin, to the liver transplant unit"
    "Vee Tac to telemetry, please."
    etc.
