April Fools Day...Pranked, Punked, or Pathetic?

April Fools DayJokers and Pranksters...April Fools Day will be here in a few short hours and I know many of you will be having some harmless (or is it shameless?) fun with the jokes and pranks.

No sense in giving away what you have planned (unless you want to) but if you have done a past prank that is worthy of being in the prankster hall of fame, here is your opportunity to share it. Heck, even if it is lame, share away. ;-)

Personally, I typically end up on the joke end of pranks and am expecting more of the same this year. Too darn literal for my own good. HA!

An early HAPPY April Fools Day!

Judi: It looks like Google is at it this morning with "AdBirds".

I know that feeling Debbie. I will be keeping my head low too.

Lisa: I am sure there will be plenty.

Now that is funny...You are right Kathleen, a good relationship would be needed.

Thanks Stacey...having a bit of late night fun on AR!

Not fooled, David. LOL

Sussie: That sounds like something my hubby would do. They always play jokes at his office.

Jane: He is one smart cookie...pretty good to be able to get an entire family.

Joe: Keep your eyes and ears open...you never know what can happen today. ;-)

I'm going to try and hide all day today, I'm just too gullible for these pranks.

When my sons were little, they were always running through the house.  I would complain, as I am an avid collector of porcelain dolls.  Well my husband had given me a hand made indian chief doll that was my prize possession.  So I am at work and the boys call and say they have bad news, they were running through the house and they broke my indian chief!  EEK!!! I am in tears, i did not even want to go home and see that.  When I get home, they were sitting on the sofa with the indian chief on the coffee table...I was crying by this time because nothing was broken!!! I hold this as my worst April Fool's Day EVER!!!

Anita, stay on your toes today and be extra suspecting :) I know I will be...too many friends that love to pull pranks and April Fool's just gives them extra energy.

Anita, I personally don't like to pull pranks when they're done to me and I don't do it to others but that's not gonna stop others so I'm watching!

I usually end up on the back end of jokes today - especially with my son who is 11 and thinks EVERYTHING is a joke today.  I will have to try to think of something to get him though and surprise him today.

Conrad: I have thus far made it through the day without getting punked! YAY.

Gabe: We are in the same boat. HA.

Debi: Those rotten kids. LOL  They knew exactly which buttons to push.

Amanda: I saw a few pranks this morning but I was not the target. I must be too easy to prank.

Beth: I try to avoid both sides of them myself.

Lori: I bet you can think of something good to stump him with.

Lisa: I stayed busy and out of the office most of the day so after the morning staff meeting I was clear of the jokers.

Anita, You did indeed find the one I pulled!  It was the only one I was involved in for the day, unless you count that offer that came in on one of our listings.  You'd have thought it was an April Fool's joke....but we've countered and hoping for the best :)

Anita, I heard of a prank yesterday--a sign was placed on an office copier that said "We've updated our system and you can now speak commands." Needless to say, everyone was yelling at the copier!

BLiz: Yay...I thought that was it. I hope your counter is accepted too!

That's pretty funny Whitney...if someone was videoing it and showed it back during the staff meeting, I can imagine the laughs and groans it would get.

Anita, April 1st pretty much was without incident or prank for me.  However, Whitney's #31 was pretty funny and I'm going to try that one out next year.
