Re: APRIL FOOLS!

DJ got me really good at like 12:20 this morning by telling me ... well... let's just say it was a pretty good prank.


PS: I'm really bad at pulling pranks -- someone get him back for me!!!

Re: APRIL FOOLS!

Oh my... that's not what was supposed to happen... a co-worker and I decided to play the "usual" on our newest co-worker. We got these little dried up berries from this tea I have in my office and placed a few of them on her desk. The berries look like mouse turds... we figured, like everyone else we've played this joke on, she would come out of the office and ask if we had a mouse problem... She didn't. She called the management company and complained instead. Now there are janitors all over the place putting out mouse traps (the poison kind, not the snapping ones)... it's funny, but I'm not going to admit it was a joke now... I'm just going to slink back to my office and lay low for the time being...

Heidi

oh, and she's in her office scrubbing her desk down with 409 cleaner...

Re: APRIL FOOLS!

Um... dont you people read the news?

April fools jokes are being strongly discouraged by the department of homeland security - having thousands of people going around pulling pranks all day is now considered a security risk.

The D.J. Update

6 for 6 with one thrown out.

Edit:

You aren't fooled by D.J., and since punk'd is a copyright now, anyone that has been pranked by me has been "Deej'd"

Re: APRIL FOOLS!

April Fools happened to fall during our Palmetto Regional. Well going into the lunch break we were the only undefeated team, and obviously in first place. My teacher was eating lunch in the USC cafeteria when we walking in with somber faces and said "Marc was testing out the arm, and the robot fell off of the cart (about a 3-4 foot drop to a concrete floor), and the robot smashed to pieces. The look on his face was priceless. We all start laughing and shout out "APRIL FOOLS!!!", now that i think about it, it was kinda mean, but it was REALLY funny.

Re: APRIL FOOLS!

We're constantly doing things to each other at work and I have some that will work for April Fools or any other time of the year.
We zip tied the sleeves (at the cuff) of a jacket while it was hanging up. When they went to put on the jacket thier arms got stuck (would go almost through the sleeve but not quite) and couldn't put the jacket on.
One I've personally done and works quite well is unplug something and wrap a thin piece of electrical tape on the prongs of the plug and plug it back in. I did this to a coworker's radio at work. They unplugged it, then plugged it back in (didn't look at prongs) and it still didn't work. Then unplugged it and carried it to another outlet all the while not paying attention to the plug and plugged it into that outlet. In the mean time a bunch of us were laughing while he kept trying different plugs and twisting the knobs on the radio. We finally told him when he was about to throw it away.

that could have been outstanding. If you had been there when she noticed them - pick one up, smell it, squeeze it between your fingers, then lick your finger and say "Field Mouse!"

One of the best 4/1 jokes Ive heard: an engineering friend of mine noticed a maintance guy outside cleaning the gutters on the building on the other side of the parking lot, on top of a tall ladder, with a boom box tuned to a local radio station on the ground by the ladder. The engineer put a small antenna on an RF signal generator and tuned it to the same frequency, with a 120HZ FM modulation. This made the boom box start howling.

The guy climbs down the ladder and picks up the radio, and the engineer turned the RF off, so the music came back on. He climbs the ladder again - RF goes on again - howling again - maintance guy climbs back down and just as he picks up the radio it stops.

Third time is the charm, right? Gets to the top of the ladder, radio starts howling again, he climbs back down, picks up the radio and throws it about 30 yards across the parking lot !
