APRIL FOOLS DAY

April Fools' Day is celebrated in the Western world on April 1st of every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, April 1st is not a legal holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day which tolerates practical jokes and general foolishness. The day is marked by the commission of good humoured or funny jokes, hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, work associates, etc.

Traditionally, in some countries such as New Zealand, the UK, Australia, and South Africa, the jokes only last until noon, and someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool".[1] It is for this reason that newspapers in the U.K. that run a front page April fool only do so on the first (morning) edition.[2] Elsewhere, such as in France, Ireland, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Russia, The Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Canada, and the U.S., the jokes last all day. The earliest recorded association between April 1 and foolishness can be found in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392). Many writers suggest that the restoration of January 1 as New Year's Day in the 16th century was responsible for the creation of the holiday, but this theory does not explain earlier references.

PRANKS!

type=textApril fools!

~Get up really early and sneak into your victims bathroom and fill their hair-dryer with baby powder. And when they turn it on, their head will be pure white just like an old person!

~Before one of your family members takes shower, remove the shower head and place a life-saver candy in it, replace the shower head with the candy now trapped in it. When the person takes a shower he or she will not notice, until they get out and start to dry off the towel will stick to them they will get back in the shower to rinse off... works like a charm.

~Find a box about the size of a cake. Then cover it with frosting, making it look like a cake. Then put it out in the office kitchen, or wherever people leave free food. Sit back as one of your co-workers tries to cut a slice.

~Take an empty coffee mix can and replace it with a can with coffee mix in it. Make sure coffee cans are the same brand, or it will not work. At the bottom of the can put a piece of paper that says April Fools. Make sure you help the person with making their coffee to see their reaction.

~This ones for all you pet owners! First, put a walky talky some wear near the area of where your pet is laying. Go into another room with the other walky talky. Then, when your brother/sister goes to pet your furry friend, say something like..."Hey Pal! Get your grimy hands off me!" They'll get a kick outta this one!!!

~Get a small alarm clock and set it for 3:00 a.m. Sneak under the victim's bed. Once it goes off, he/she won't be able to find it will drive them nuts.

~Switch the "Pull" and "Push" signs on a set of doors. Watch as people get confused trying to open the doors. (Don't do this on fire escapes)

~You will need a funnel, a coin, a couple of friends and, of course, a victim! Start playing the 'funnel game' infront of your victim. A game of skill that involves putting the funnel down the front of your pants and balancing the coin on your nose with your head tilted back. Tip your head forward to let the coin drop into the funnel. When you have the victim begging to do this put the funnel in his pants and get him to put his head back so you can balance the coin on his nose. As this is happening pour a large drink into the funnel!

~Stick a post-it note under your friend's mouse so that the paper leaf covers the mouse ball - the mouse will no longer work! Align so that the sticky part of the note doesn't touch the ball. Costs next to nothing to do, and doesn't cause any damage.

~Grab a bottle of liquid soap and head toward the "victims" bedroom. Squirt some of the soap onto your hand and rub all over the doorknob of his/her room. Run away before he or she sees you in the process of doing this prank.

~Glue eggs to the carton and beg for eggs in the morning. When the victim gets them the eggs break!

~When your victims asleep sneak into their room and draw eyebrows and a moustache on their face, make sure to be their when they look in the mirror.

~Put some water in a cereal bowl, and place it in the freezer so that the water freezes. Offer to make your sister/brother cereal in the morning. Make sure you use that same bowl. Put their favorite cereal over the top of the ice, and serve.

~Take a rubber band and slip it over the lever on the spray handle so that when someone turns the sink on, it will spray him or her in the face. This is an easy way to pull a great prank!

~Tell your kids that you just got the test scores from the proficiency tests and then go down stairs and say to your kids your going to go and make copies and then come running / walking and make your face look like you just saw a ghost and say to your kids that whatever your principals name is just spilled coffee on the proficiency tests and the will have to take it again.

Food Fun on April Fool's Day

type=textSafe Pranks are the best good hearted practical jokes you can pull off. My mom was always good at pulling some sort of April Fools food prank, if by dinner we hadn't been hit, were looking in our beds fast and furious for her trick. This particular morning, flap jacks were being made and both my brother and I were very hungry after a previous day of hard work with Dad. She served up big stacks, we poured our syrup and dug in. To our astonishment we couldn't cut them!! She snuck in and fried up those pancakes with a paper towel hidden in, all cooked up, nice as can be. Luckily, and to our relief, she had more in the oven.

April fools day Crazy Breakfast

type=textAnother food trick, crazy breakfast - frozen milk, vinegar for apple juice, string in the apple sauce, mayonnaise for yogurt, salt in the sugar bowl... it's a sure way to start a crazy day.

Be creative!! what can you come up with!

OFFICE PRANKS!

Extra Special Juice

type=textFill a pitcher of water and add food coloring. Place it back into the fridge. Try hard not to laugh when your victim pours a glass of it to drink because it's not what they expect!.

Another fun water trick, fill a water glass and place a piece of paper, cardboard or plastic over the top. Flip the cup upside down on a flat surface, glass table or smooth counter. Now, pull the cover out from under the cup. The water should stay in the cup, the water will form a vacuum and stay put. Clean up any spilled water and place it in an area that's not too obvious. Definitely a fun trick for little kids, outside. Don't try this with koolaide or milk, in the house!

LEAVE A PRANK?

  • DogAdvisor Apr 1, 2012 @ 8:57 pm | delete
    My dog does NOT like anything that vibrates, clippers, cell phones, remote control toys, etc....I got several mini 'hot wheel' type cars with motion capability and hid them in her napping places. I know the day is almost over but just got off work so plan to harass my pup and video tape her reactions for my amusement this evening....

    Some of these pranks are pretty funny, but some are kinda mean - at least in my way of looking at them. But it is a nice creative lens. No joke.
