***BREAKING NEWS***

Hillary Clinton drops out of Democratic primary and endorses McCain! lol

Those are pretty good. Don’t know if i would want the boss to know who rigged his chair, or be there when it happened either. I put a “for sale by owner” sign in front of out house a few years ago, thinking it would be obvious on April 1, but my wife and kids freaked out. It worked, i guess.

Alisyn, how uncomfortable are those boxes hanging on your backs? They look like they would be really bothersome?

Bonus this morning with you joining the crew after the first news report. I wish you would have stayed.

Thanks for all the work on the blog-man, it must take a lot of effort-great job!

Alisyn one of my employees is going to tell her father that she is pregnant,

Filling the vending machine with beer seems like less of a prank and more of a favor.

Alisyn,

My favorite April Fools Day Prank is as follows:

Set the sound volume on every one’s computer speakers up as high as it goes so that when they log in, they are all very loud, What a great laugh!!!

Have a Happy April Fool’s!!!

Really enjoy the show!!!

Good Morning Ms. Alisyn,

I think the Dems are pulling the best joke right now. Trying to tell us that a one term Senator and ex-first lady and /or a one time Senator are qualified to serve as President. Great Joke that is.

About yesterday’s AtSS; The gentleman trying to run your family tree? I wasn’t aware that Angels had family trees. Guess I learned something new yesterday.

Have a wonderful day.

Tell Steve his fly is unzipped

Alisyn, yes shes kidding,
but get this, today is her fathers birthday, poor guy.

There has to be a good Pico Dillo joke in this somewhere, but I ain’t got it yet…. lol

Temporarily short the siren switch, on a black and white so that when the officers crank the car they cannot turn it off.

Years ago I worked in a music store. There was this one sales lady who was forever slipping off her shoes and going about her duties without them, until a customer would come in and she would run to where she left them and put them back on.

One day the manager found her shoes and took them outside and placed them in her car.

To make a long story short she went nuts trying to remember where she left them, finally gave up and started to leave without them.

Needless to say she was pretty upset when she found them on the front seat of her car…lol

One year, I saved the April 1st edition of the Wall Street Journal for the entire year, and I put the Year-old one on his desk on April 1st. It took him a few minutes to figure it out! Darn! Wish they didn’t put the day of the week on it!

My husband did this to his mom every year……. Put a rubber band around the sink sprayer. I think my kids are going to try that one on me this morning.

We got into my bosses office after he left yesterday. Since we work at a TV station, we all have TVs on our desks. We blocked our station for viewing and changed the set up to Spanish. It took him a half an hour this morning to translate the set up mode into english to put it back to normal.

when i was in college(pharmacy school) we had to make a solution used as a laxative…it was bottled in a coke bottle and capped…after the project was completed…we added coke syrup to the bottles..recapped them and put them in coke machince in the lunch room…we sat back and had a blast

A co-worker and myself put no-tear toliet paper in the employees’ bathroom. The funny thing is an employee went in there and when she came out, there were claw marks in the toliet paper where she could not tear a piece off. She never said a word about it! She may have been a little embarrassed that she could not “use” the toliet paper!

Take Care!

We sewed the sleeves on the Dr.s lab coat so when he put on the coat, he couldn’t get his arms out.

We did this when I was a nanny in North Carolina. It just happened that April Fool’s Day was the first day of Spring Break that year. The mom and I thought it would be hysterical to wake up the kids and tell them that Spring Break had been cancelled and we had to hurry to school as soon as possible. We woke the three kids up (kindergarten and two in third grade) and made them get dressed and ran them out to the van. They were all so upset – not wanting to go to school when they had been told they had a week off. We got into the van and turned around to them “Gotcha!” They’ve tried to top it every year – and they never have.

On the first of April,I would tell my father to return an important business call.Year after year he would make the same frenzied call to “dial a prayer” forgetting of the many years before.Dad was a preacher,but never felt preacherly after my yearly prank.I now have my daughter call it. I’m such a man-child…HA. God Bless, Wade

When my daughter was in high school, she baked some canned biscuits and put cotton balls inside them. When her 3 brothers grabbed them on their way out the door to catch the bus, she saw them spitting them out on the driveway. She is still a prankster!

Carefully pop off a few of the keys from the victim’s keyboard. Switch them around and replace them. If the victim is a “hunt and peck” typist, this will cause great confusion!

I worked in a medical laboratory. On April 1st years ago we rigged up to lab for the new students. We told them we were testing for glucose (sugar) in the urine. One of the Senior techs lifted one of the urine cups and took a drink—–it was really ginger-ale without the bubbles. You should have seen the students. What fun….

I never did this, but a few years ago someone in my office put ground-up Ex-Lax in the office community coffee. I remember a few comments of “Wow, mocha flavor!” just before it kicked in…

On April 1st right after the first new 20 dollar bills came out. I sent out an email to all employees of the city I worked at, advising them that if the had missed turning their old 20 dollar bills in by the 31st the bills were now worthless but I was collecting them and would give them 5 dollars for each one.
After I sent the email, I left my office, to let my sweet but naive secretary deal with the anticipated phone calls. When people called in she told them she did not know the bills had expired either, but took lots of messages for me.
She was not happy when I came in and told her the bills were not expiring, it was an april fools joke.

An employee just returned to work yesterday after being out for 6 weeks due to surgery. She does most of our ordering of supplies and things needed for our lab. Ordering necessities has turned into a nightmare because of a new ordering system so needless to say, she hates that responsibility. With her return she has 100’s of emails to sort through and lots of catching up to do so ordering is not something that she wants or needs right now. We, fellow co-workers, have compilled a long bogus list of things that we need which will require separate paperwork, different vendors, excessive time and effort to get it done. Today we are going to tell her that she has to get this done today then stand back and watch her obsess over it (obsessing is a part of her personality). Only for a short while though, she is really a hard working employee and we just want to give her a “Welcome Back Story”

We circulated a memo at my old company that all employees had to show up the next day at 7:00am (most everyone comes in at 8:30am)in professional attire( many ouf our folks usually dress very casually) for an emergency meeting on sexual harrassment and political correctness in the workplace. Everybody complained all day.The next morning when everyone showed up and was sitting in the conference room we walked in with coffee and doughnuts. Everyone cracked up. No one expected it since the joke was set up on 4/1 but didn’t actually happen till 4/2. No one was mad and everyone had a pleasant coffee hour did wonders for company morale. all in all it was a great day. This was not the reason this is my former job.
Please tell Brian and Steve that their smiles are what put me in a good mood everyday, when I don’t see them its like waking up on the wrong side of the bed.

On April 1st I walked into work and one of the cops asked me why Sgt. H was down at city hall wearing a suit, thinking fast on my feet, I told him that Sgt. H was “running” for Assistant City Manager (which is an appointed position).
I went to my office computer and sent out a city wide email announcing Sgt. H’s candidacy and asking for support, donations.
Then I immediately left my office-and shut off my cell phone, to let my sweet but naive secretary deal with what I am sure would be a glut of phone calls.
She got lots of calls asking about his candidacy which she tried her best to handle. She was not happy when I told her that there was not going to be a campaign for the appointed position and it was all a joke.

One of my favorite pranks is as follows.

The guy I pulled it on is 65 and barely knows how to use the computer, which makes it even funnier.

For about a week and a half, I would take pictures of this coworker with my camera phone without him realizing it.

Then I took said photos along with some free/shareware photos I found on the internet and “photo shopped” them together into one wacky photo.

I then snuck in really early in the morning one day. When I got in, I made this picture his desktop wallpaper (the picture that is shown on your computer behind all the icons when no other program is running).

The look on his face was priceless when he logged in. (He is a good sport on those sort of things).

Duh-Am…….. No one filled our vending machine with beer this morning!

We had been pulling pranks left and right on a co-worker and always trying to one up on the next prank. The final one was a doozie! He had a convertible, and always left the top down. A friend of mine & I placed baby powder in his air conditioning vents. When he flipped on his A/C, puff! I still giggle over that one.

my husband took the center out of the toilet paper and wrote on it I have been kidnapped and left in the charmain factory. Please call 911 and give them this address. HELP HELP needless to say our daughter received the message and began to scream for her dad. We have laughed about this for years.

I left a positive pregnancy test in the bathroom for my husband to find when we had 1 year old twin girls and a 2 1/2 boy and a 4 year old boy. He took a long time in the bathroom before he could pull himself together and come out to speak with me. I gave a good fake criy and egged him on about it. He finally said there is not much difference between 4 and 5 kids so we will survive this. I then broke down laughing and said “April Fools!” He was not very happy at first then realized the truth was better than the joke being real.

P.S. The positive test I used was 3 years old from when I told him about our second child and had put it in a gold box and given it to him. I fould where he had sved it in the closet and could not resist pulling off this joke!

My favorite April fool prank is I goet the home addresses of my coworkers and designed an elaborate invitation to a progressive dinner from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. and used their address for the party. When they open it up and feel so happy they have been invited somewhere to discover that the party is at their house!
hee hee I love pranks!

I’m so not seeing how filling a vending machine with beer is a prank…sounds like an act of extreme generosity to me!

Hi!

Perhaps it’s an old gimmick but one of our local TV stations (WLEX Ch 18) ran an interview at the farm of a spaghetti farmer. He got a grant from the Spaghetti Growers Association to do some special research. Meanwhile, we saw shots of his spaghetti growing on bushes, old vines, etc. It’s really hilarious and belongs on national TV. Thought you might contact them for a copy (Lexington, KY).

As a trucker, I can say that the rumor of a strike is just that… It’s not going to happen, however, that’s not to say there isn’t talk of it every day. I’m a company driver, so I don’t have to shell out the money myself, but it’s nearly 450 dollars to fill up these days… I only average, 6.8 miles to the gallon. It’s getting costly to get things from here to there.

My daughter turns 16 today, April fools baby. The doctor had to induce labor, my mother pleaded with the doctor to hold off so my daughter wouldn’t be born on the 1st.. Doctor won that debate. lol

Happy Birthday Peanut!!!

I am so sorry to hear that they are closing this blog and canceling ‘Fox & Friends 1st’. This is really wrong!
We don’t need another rerun of O’Reilly’s show at 6am instead of F&F1st.
This blog as been so much fun and seemed very successful, but I guess it must be closed since the gov’t is shutting down the whole of the internet. Too bad, it was a fun ride while it was going.

Alisyn, the best of luck on your new job as the sports anchor at the station in Fairbanks, Alaska. I know you will do your best. We will miss you! Are Angelina and Brad adopting all your children or just the twins? I think you are right that it will be too cold for them in Alaska, not to mention the danger of their being eaten by the polar bears.

Happy April 1st!!

(Yes everyone! That was all a joke.)

My friend and I bought goldfish and put them in fellow-employees’ coffee cups during lunch hour when they were all out. Only one got the cup to her lips before she saw the goldfish – her scream startled the VP who was her boss, and was not amused… (we were always in trouble!)

My favorite was always gluing the telephone so it couldn’t be picked up when it rang (not as funny with cell phones). And then there’s the ever popular saran wrapping of everything in the office for a coworker returning from vacation (keeping everything fresh for ya).

Several years ago, some DJ’s in Albany posted a large sign on the roof of a restaurant on the approach to runway 1 into Albany NY International Airport. The sign read ” Welcome to Buffalo, NY”

Back when my 4 daughters were growing up, 3 were in in middle school. They were very hard to get up every morning. On this day, I went back to their bedrooms and told them that the local news was reporting live coverage on their middle school burning down. You should have seen all those girls jump out of bed, sleepy eyed, running to see the coverage on the television.–So now 20 years later, I still call them on the phone every year and tell them about their middle school.

Here is an easy prank for anytime April fools day or whenever. Get the phone number to your local zoo. Then give that phone number to someone you know, preferably your boss, and tell them that a Mr. Lions called and wants to talk to them. They fall for it everytime. Sit back and laugh your butts off as both the zoo and your boss try to figure out what is happening. If ya need to – tell them that this Mr. Lions was roarin mad! Have a wonderful April Fools! Don’t forget to run after they hang up.

In a busy breakfast restaurant, in the kitchen, replace all of the eggs behind the cooks line with hard eggs, so when they go to make eggs they will get stumped with the hard eggs. I did that once, it was so funny, especially when the cook is busy.

My twin sister and I are seniors in high school and my brother is a freshman. Today my mom received a call from the school saying that one of her children had out of school suspension, one had in school suspension and the other had detention. Now if you knew us you would know we never get in trouble at school, but my mom was very mad. After about a good twenty minutes of trying to convince her none of us skipped school, my mom started laughing. Turns out the assistant principle, a friend of the family, made the calls for April fools. They gave us a good scare and the principle was laughing when I gave him a call after the incident.

Hi Alisyn,
On april 1st one yr,we turned the bosses desk around,and put his phone in the drawer…..When he came in and sat down we rang up his # and watched from outside,as he tried to find the phone….works really well,first thing in the morning

Two of the best from yesterday. ONE was from Marketplace on NPR. It was about a couple that submitted their taxes in hopes of getting their rebate check…well the Govt. sent them a $1200 air conditioner instead…I bought it… here’s the URL… if you didn’t know…sounded logical..

http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/04/01/april_1st/

The second one was about the “Whistling Carrots” My daughter came into the kitchen with a carrot and it had a bunch of holes in it. She said that the Cargill corp. had developed these genetically engineered carrots to whistle when they were boiled! That they wanted kids to have fun with vegetibles and when boiled…they would whistle. then I told her about the left handed Whopper from Burger King..then she told that Big Ben in London was going to replace the clock dial with a huge digital read out…then I told her about the recalled underwire bra that were made with copper and would heat up and burn the wearer…we went back and forth…chip off the old block!

Three April Fool Jokes:

1. Telling the kids the amusement park has been re-located.

2. Ketchup on the finger. Ouch.

3. Fake fly in the coffee.

Feels silly and uncool.

I have been laughing so hard at the prior posts. Tears !!! Jokes are so much fun.

We have done so many over the yrs. Our motto is Go Big or Go Home!!! This has a few listed but they have been the talk of the neighborhood, HS, even church !!

Long, but worth it (imho).

As our teenage daughter (the oldest) was sleeping we tied the yellow construction caution tape (not sticky) all around her bedroom. Since she is such a deep sleeper we were able to string it so thick like a web that she really had to work to even get out of bed let alone.

Same day we did the same to our neighbors front yard. We connected the garage to his suv in the driveway — the garage door to the front tree — the front door handle to …. you get it yellow everywhere. Honestly it looked like a crazy crime scene at first glance. It was easy clean up but had a big impact. We spent extra time on his vehical. Made sure the tape was not so quick and easy to get off. The wipers were tied to the door handle – his luggage rack on top only made it better for us. I still remember my husband and I hiding and waiting outside for Art to come out. All the neighbors drove by real slow to see. My husband always leaves earlier so he stayed late for this one. We came out and had a huge laugh with them. Yes, we stayed and helped with the clean up. We are friends after all.

Put chicken boulion into the showerhead. Same daughter as above – HS yrs. My husband tightned it as best he could but it wouldn’t have a tight seal. We were pretty sure she would not fall for this one. She went in for her usual morning shower – she got in and was trying to tighten the shower head since some water was squirting out. She came down to the kitchen and asked her dad to come and tighten the connections since it was squirting out. So he went up was able to tighten it down a bit a temp fix for her (boulion was still there — it was the block not powder — she got back in and finished her shower. She went to school as usual. That night we started asking a few questions trying to get her to connect the shower with a prank. She said I thought I smelled chicken but then figured it must have been something else and kept showering. We went up and removed the remaing boulion cube. She couldn’t get over the fact that some was still there. That ment all the soap, shampoo she used was rinsed out with broth. She couldn’t believe we let her go to school like that.

Our middle child (around 8-9) also a good solid sleeper. We waited untill she was fast asleep in her bed to transport her to the bathroom tub !!!! I had laid pillows and blankets all over to make it soft. We didnt want her to roll over and clunk her head. It worked perfectly. When she woke she was in the tub and it took her abit to get her berrings. She came down to the kitchen to tell us what happened – she didn’t realize April Fools – just perplexed on how she got there. When we started laughing she figured it out. She still loves that one.

Oldest daughter, Senior yr. She was pretty popular, played sports, involved with school stuff – everyone knows her and her car well. I went to the a local shop that sells donated items for hardly anything – to help the community. I found the largest pair of grandma undies ever, and a bra also oh, and something black. I think it was 3 bucks total. Then my friend and I went to the HS parking lot and found her car. We could do something to the front of her car since she would walk up to it from the rear (never see the front). Well we stuffed newspaper into the cups of the bra and streached it across her front grill, taped it on and got out of there. I was suprised how at well it showed up. The newspaper added some dimension. She got out and took some friends out to get lunch and went back to school. She had to drive through campus since she parked in that location. Lucky huh ?? Later she drove to a few places in town before coming home. When she got out of her car at home she finially saw it. Oh my what a hoot. She could hardly bear the thought of driving all around with that big bra. It was all good though, she knows we love to pull pranks. This was a big one.

Since we could not use the panties on her car (she would have noticed them) they were left over…..

We also hung some fancy black + lacy undergarments out of the back of a dear friends mini van. She had errands to run.

Well, I didn’t get my husband that yr at all. I wanted to connect the huge undies to his front grill of his big man truck but after thinking of him driving up to the jobs where the guys would see – well I just couldn’t do it – I do have a limit after all !!!!!!! I love this man dearly.

NEXT DAY —- April 2nd. All is free and clear I made it through the day without falling victim. My day goes as usual. Take middle child to school and then I go and pick her up. This school has a loooong carpool line and it moves pretty slow since they have staff members make sure each child gets to the correct adult (safety). Any way. I am up at the front doors – aahhh there is my little cutie – I dont even have to get out since they open the doors say a quick hi and send us off. Very nice. Before we leave middle child says to me Mom you have something wrong with your car. The some teachers saw IT and told her to her tell me. Well, I am thinking is something wrong with my car??? The very car I love so dearly. Silver Eclipse – super cute car. Was my muffler falling off or something worse (I really loved this car) so I was a bit worried. I get back there and see those HUGE WHITE UNDIES HANGING OUT OF MY TRUNK !!!!! I was so shocked to say the least – this is the 2nd – no pranks allowed thats the rule. Well I was stunned, shocked and OH MY then I realized I sat 30 min. each time am + pm in the carpool line and had no idea what I was sporting in the back. My husband and the kids got together and set this up. They figured I am always watching and expecting it on the 1st – I would never suspect anything on the 2nd. So true. My oldest loved loved it that she got me back with my own props. I have to say I deserved it. The bra thing was a whopper even for our family!!! We still laugh so hard when we remember.

We have so much fun and never want to go to far but yet get each other good. I have done some great ones at work and we hit the oldest with one on her 16th birthday.

Thanks for letting me walk down memory lane – we have such a fun loving family and they have not disowned me yet. I am a lucky woman.

Have a great day,
Donna

Our company IT VP somehow made the TV screens on the workout machines reversed. All the text on every channel on every TV screen was flipped!
Good one Richard!

When I worked in a family practice office, my son was in law enforcement. The doctor had just purchased a used car for his wife. I had my son call him and report the car as a stolen vehicle and that they needed him to come to the police station. He was unusally quiet until lunch when we saw him leaving and told him the truth. Now he tries to get me every year!

Gosh, I wish I wasn’t so late here.

Give your secretary administrative assistant a note after lunch that reads: L.C. DeCauw called and wants you to call her back. Then write down the number for your local Borden Milk Company. Gets ‘em every time!
