April Fools-what are you gonna do?

We wired a Car horn up underneath the dash of the salesmans car. Ran a earth and a remote power wire. As soon as he turns the key he is going to sh!T himself

Now theres a great way to make an economy sized coffee for multiple guests, shower head would work just like the head on the Mr Cappucino maker!

Probably works great as a wake up first thing in the morning too!

did see pics of it somewhere.
what fun you can have with free time and bordem up your sleeve!

Was that the one on SomethingAwful the other week? Absolute classic, the whole room was foil, bed, desk, everything in the desk, soft toys, picture frames, the lot.

I heard this on the radio the other day, it was on a bux night but could pass a a good April fools day joke.

Anyway, on the bux night the groomsmen got the Groom rotten drunk and plastered his whole leg up from foot to crotch. The next morning they told him and the wife to be he fell over and broke his leg at the party. So anyway he got married and went on his honeymoon with his leg in a full cast. When he got back from the honeymoon they told him and his wife it wasn't actually broken.

Nah, just go around to all the desks that are close together... swap keyboards and mice/mouses/meeeeces (whatever plural you use for a friggin computer mouse).

Then just sit back and watch as ppl wonder wtf is wrong with their PCs. They are typing but nothing comes up on the screen, whereas the guy sitting next to her is getting all this stuff up on his word document and HE ISN'T TYPING... it's quite amusing.

The other thing you can do is either put sticky tape over the infrared under the mouse or remove the ball.

i might set fire to my mustang then call up virgil

[mick.wheelz]

[Venomous]

[rob_o]

My gf sends me an sms this morning saying "Im pregnat". Kinda worked it out tho lol.

[Captain Stubing]

I just hooked up rubber bands to everyone's drawers at 4am, hooking the top drawer to the bottom, so when they open the top drawer, it pulls/pushes every drawer in between open.

Seemed funny at 4am!

[loxxr6]

A bunch of guys in another call centre in the company all sms'd their manager they were going to be sick and then hung round in another corner of the office waiting for him to look around to see an empty office.

[neb]

i did the mouse one to a few people at work today... i cut up a post it note and wrote april fools on each piece and stuck it over the laser part of the mouse. was amusing watching them see the cursor not moving.. and then turning it over and seeing 'april fools' on the bottom of their mouse.... hehe harmless fun

[BlueRaven]

Something that wasn't an april fools joke... get 4 - 8 guys and if you know someone with a small car, lift the car over a garden bed or those concrete stoppers in car parks.

We did it years ago to a chicks Charade

We had to move it back in the end, but it was worth it though to see the look on her face.

A few years back (now that I think of it it was 8 years ago) I also did the "mum, my girlfriend is pregnant" thing - which only had an effect because I was 16

[Amber]

The "I'm pregnant" never bloody works.

I persoanlly love cling wrap over the toilet bowl. Always good for a gag!

[Psycho Chicken]

One of the salespeople at work ended up with a car wrapped in glad wrap today.

Ah come on, i just opened my eyes in the morning and reached straight for the phone to that sms. I totally forgot it was april fools day lol. But I knew it was kinda fishy, she's not the type that would SMS me somethin like that.

It was all good in the end. I just showed my mates the SMS and got them too...

[Full Noise]

I told my other half that I would do the dishes……….

Cheers, Danny

We had a benchtop being custom made and it was due to turn up today. I got the guys to stick together the roughtes bits of wood they could find, all different colours, put masking tape over the join and cut into it so it looked like someone accidentally started cutting it. They brought it up and seriously handed it over to the manager who nearly died when they told him it was a work experience kid's effort at it and they had no time to make another one. Then they left him there just staring at it, and the bill for $3k and drove back to their joinery.

Called up a half hour later to explain themselves but oh damn it was funny!

[LuvinmyEB]

Maybe not so funny, but it was time for sweet revenge today and I got it.
My landlord who has tried everything he can to get me out of this house because he wants to buy a Subway franchise got totally owned today by not showing up in court and sending his son instead, who was in tears by the time I had finished with him. :

I got an order taken out on him, he is not allowed to come to the house without sending me a letter by registered mail and then allowing 2 days for it to arrive, he's not to ring me again. Let alone walk straight into the house when I'm in my underwear as he's done in the past. His son argued that his father had never done that, but he couldn't prove it as he had never been there when it happened and I had 5 witnesses including myself to say that it had.

He was let off with a warning and told to get my bond of $800- minus the amount he has to pay back to me into the RTBA by Tuesday of next week.

He cannot approach me for rent (silly old coot should of taken it when I tried to give it to him) but I have his banking details to pay the rent into, then VCAT representative told him that she could not enforce me to pay him rent at all unless he applied for a hearing which would take 14 days to process and then I'd be given another 14 days to vacate at the hearing when it came up, giving me extra time then is on my lease. He had sent me two notices to vacate one for 60 days and the last being one for 14 days due to non payment of rent. Both of which where null and void as they were not on the proper forms.

When the son went to the front counter, the idiot asked for the proper forms to vacate the premises, instantly adding another 30 days that I can stay on the property. Although I'm unsure as to whether he actually got these forms.

He claimed that I was a bitter woman who wanted some sort of revenge on the family because I was asked to leave the premises. He was shot down in flames on that one because all the dates that were on forms that I had lodged were all before they started with their "Get out or else we'll cause you trouble." :

It may not be funny to you, but to see a grown man cry because he was : by a female that he thought he could tell what to do and make up his own rules be told that he was not going to get away with it totally made my day.

As they say, Hell hath no fury like me when I'm messed with. :MrT_anim:

Thanks Maddestman for holding me back and not letting me rip him a new one when he started getting too smart. :

Meh he was put in his place by Her Majesty as he called her.

I feel better now getting that off my chest. :

A local radio station here always does an April fools gag. This morning, they announced over the radio that a truck carrying beer had crashed and rolled over at a turnoff on the main hwy about 10kms out of town. They said most of the beer was smashed/spilled all over the place and the whole load had to be written off and disposed of so the remaining unbroken bottles/cartons were being given away. As you'd expect when hearing the words 'free beer' aparently a bunch of locals raced 10 kays out to the spot only to find they'd been :

I like bindi's idea re. the keyboards etc. Reminds me of high school - used to have old-style macs where the mouse always plugged into the side of the keyboard with the little round serial bus connectors. Sitting next to someone in the computer room who was typing a document - when they looked away for a sec. I'd unplug they're mouse and plug the cable from my keyboard into the side of theirs so two keyboards were hooked up at once. They would be able to keep on typing normally but occaisionally I'd slip a few extra characters into what they were doing or when they look away from the screen for a sec with an unfinished sentence I'd finish it for 'em in some stupid way and they'd look back to resume where they left off and be like "Hang on - did I just write that - oh well must going nuts". Once or twice I started making a blokes computer talk to him lol eg. typing the words onto his screen "Ray, stop what you're doing, this is not an error - I have control over your computer. I know what you have been doing. Stand up very slowly and look to the left of the room - see whos there. Don't let anyone know I'm here or try to reboot the computer or you will be sorry." - all that sorta sh!t - I'd just watch as they nervously started to follow the instructions I typed on screen - they'd be standing up looking around trying to do it so no-one noticed them etc. thinking that the 'hacker' was actually watching them somehow and they must obey etc. LOL couldn't stop laughing - could keep myself entertained for hours with that sorta stuff

[Steve_T]

LOL, good to hear you got a good victory LuvinmyEB.

[lukey]

AMC (Australian Magna Club) dispayed a message on their site/forums saying that for reasons beyond their control they had to close down the sit immediately and thanks for all the support over the years etc. only to come back 1 hour later with a thread "April Fools"
