Did anyone do any today?

I forgot about it because I'm an adult and have shit to do but what about everyone else? Or tell us about some prank you pulled some other time.


One I do remember clearly was getting my husband good when he was in the ER. He had been rushed to the hospital because he was struggling to breath, it was very scary for both of us but while we were waiting for the doctors to come back with the x-ray he asked me what he was supposed to do if he had to use the bathroom.

Without hesitating I told him not to worry about it, he had already done it on the ride over. His face was priceless and he asked me "You mean...?"

"Oh yeah, you pissed and shit yourself on the ride over so don't worry about it now."

I couldn't hold back laughing and he saw I was joking and laughed about it too, which looking back wasn't so great for someone with a collapsed lung but it helped lighten the mood. It is a rare occasion I can pull one over on him, he gets me all the time, so I'll savor it.

Nope, I forgot this holiday existed until it was too late, like I do every year.

Then do it the day after, no one will expect it.

I'm planning a world wide prank, so I don't have time for April Fools stuff.

I planned to turn my friend's piss blue but in the end I didn't go through with it.

Why?

It could have been one of those hilarious bonding moments that you would remember for years. Or he would have freaked out and racked up an unnecessary hospital bill.

Right after global warming? You've got a big act to follow.

Sadly no hospital bill, I'm British.

And I don't know, I think I might postpone it till the last day of compulsory school since that's coming up for me soon. Something to make it memorable. Heck if I'm smart I could prank multiple friends.

Yep.

Man, you guys are boring as fuck.

This wasn't for April's fools, but a few years back when I worked at the Walmart Supercenter deli, I was on one of those magic shifts where everyone you work with (including your supervisor) are good friends and have a sense of humour. When my buddy I've known since grade 10 went on his lunch break, I quickly told everyone else what I was doing and had the bakery girl help me whip up some real-ish looking blood, tore a hole in the finger of my glove, and had another glove filled with the fake blood.

So when he comes back, we go about as normal, and when we have a lapse in customers, I pretend I'm cleaning the meat slicer (which, if you aren't familiar, is a giant rotating blade of amputation if you're a dumb fuck) and talking to him at the same time. One of the things we usually did to clean the blade was manually spin it while we hold a cleaning cloth against the cutting edge, it does all the work. Of course, you make sure it's in the storage position where it poses no risk of cutting you. I had it up one step above that, and when he turned his back to grab something I cut a hole in the blood glove, which filled the "cut" finger and was dripping all over the place. Show time!

Apparently, I'm a good enough actor that my supervisor, who I told I was going to do this, was about to call for first aid but I somehow managed to wave her off without tipping my buddy off, who was starting to freak out a bit and we went around back to the sink area, dripping red liquid all along the way, my glove is just filled with this shit at this point. I had him going for about five minutes before I let him know I was okay, to which we had a pretty good laugh and climaxed with a "Blood Glove High Five!" which caused the shit to splatter fucking everywhere. It looked like a scene out of Dexter.

Totally worth the clean-up.

Hahaha that is awesome. That's what I'm talking about.

I have some more but not a lot of time to type up long stories at the moment.

A friend of mine convinced a guy that she was a Russian foreign exchange student for SIX MONTHS. Starting near the beginning of the school year. He was an RA and would make rounds through our dorm. She changed her name, learned Russian phrases, invented a Russian family, and kept up the charade anytime he was around.

On March 31, this guy was on duty to do rounds, so a small group of us gathered in a hallway so we would be sure to see him before the end of the night. We wound up seeing him just at midnight (April 1), and we mentioned that it was "'Natasha's' first April Fools Day." So we asked him to explain what April Fool's was to her. He said "Oh, well it's when you convince someone of something that isn't true." She said "so If I told you that I was American..." and he said "No! It has to be plausible, but I know you're Russian, so..." And she laughed and said "Do you not understand? I'm from Lansing."

Cue laughter, applause, etc.

That is damn impressive, that. I'm surprised nobody accidentally tipped him off!

Oh, today is April 1st? Didn't notice. My friend did post a pregnancy test. I always find the fake pregnancy prank to be one of the stupid ones.

Not only stupid but it could really in poor taste. That's really screwing with their SO's emotions.

Not just SO's but friends and family who probably have their wallets or hooks/needles ready to buy or make something for the woman and fake baby.

A lot of my friends made fake job acceptance speeches on facebook.

Another guy posted this: "Today I am coming out as a demiplatonic gendersexual interstatic transneutral polymono self-kin. I have ensured that this statement will offend the greatest number of people, thereby securing the maximum potential for victimhood status. I will soon link you to my tumblr blog, where I can air my grievances in a self-righteous manner. I urge all of you to check your privilege."

My sister is in Costa Rica so I'm putting pictures of Steve Buscemi all over her room. I'm sticking some in obvious places like under her blankets but then I'm putting others in places like under her couch cushion so she might not see it for months.

Why Steve Buscemi?
