Hey guys, another off topic thread. They seem to be rather popular!

So, what is the funniest april fool joke you or a friend has ever done?

I personally always forget.

Used a friend's toothbrush to clean his toilet rim. I then removed any pubic hairs and placed the toothbrush back in his holder. After I told him a day later, the guy actually went to his bathroom and proceeded to CLEAN his toothbrush. Talk about a thrift!

That's gross.

The worst thing I think wasa when I locked the old lady down the street in her bathroom for 2 days,poor old miss.Haverwitz she never got over it.

One time, I replaced the contents of one of my buddies shampoos with tooth paste.... he was not happy about that, but it was funny as hell.

This is a bit of an april fools/senior prank kinda thing, but I had some friends back in high school that bought several thousand super bounce balls off the internet. The really really small and very bouncy kind. The four of them took a huge bucket each and dumped them all off the top story of our school (only 3 stories up) into the main locker area of our school. It was a wonderful thing to witness, and they all got in school suspension for a month or two for it.

Once I was editing a games magazine and I wrote an fake review of a new game called Libel: The game of vindictive litigation (or something.) It was quite elaborate and contained a lot about the rule mechanisms for different types of publications, how the courts process worked and the kind of defences and dirty tricks each publisher could get up to.

Soon afterwards, one of our advertisers said he had a customer asking to order the title, and another customer said he already had it.

Makes me laugh when people lie about things because they think it would make them cool to have it.

When I was little I collected Pokemon cards. I said "does anyone here play pokemon cards?"

A kid the same age said "Yes I do!"

Strangely enough the kid had exactly the same cards as me. At this point I knew he was copying me.

So, getting annoyed of him ALSO having a shiny Blastoise I asked " Do you have a Bobilitrox?"
A bobilitrox, I can assure you, was not a Pokemon card. When he said "Yes!!!!"

I just shook my head and said " Give it up! You're copying me!"

At school, when the teacher went out of our third storey classroom, I ran downstairs, outside and lay face down below the open classroom window. Teacher comes back to a classroom full of screaming pupils and 'Goodbye cruel world' written on the blackboard. Got in quite a bit of trouble for that...

My coworker assisted students in taking a teacher's desk out into the courtyard.

Malfred,

So was he someone who enjoyed the funny aspect of life?

Yup.

I don't handle pranks quite so well.

Is there a possibility you could reply to my last PM I sent you?

OK, a bit off topic, but my senior prank was played on my favorite art teacher who wore way too much makeup...think the Ozzys. I had told her that I had a bunch of chocolate (she would do anything for Chocolate)hidden outside and that I would lead her to it if she let me blindfold her. Of course she didn't trust me so I got the most lame/law abiding student I could find, Tim, (who happened to be a blackbelt) to go along with me and protect her from any shennanigans. Of course as soon as we got outside, Tim picked up the bucket of water that I had placed previously. Once I had removed the blindfold, Tim came up from behind and dumped the bucket of water on her head. Man, it was like pouring water on a clown and her makeup got all over her dress. Of course I gave her the chocolate and a week later she forgave me.

That's something that could have gone very wrong!

I think the whole bucket of water over a person ordeal is hilarious... but imagine if the make-up ran and blinded her or something dumb like that.
Then you would be in deep carnifex poo.

Well that was like a decade ago...still, makeup can blind a person? Man that is news to me.

I doubt it can cause any serious harm, but it would probably be one of those things that happen when you really don't want them to.

Yak played a decent prank recently, even had much of the forum board changed around for added affect.

I don't think that was a prank..

Given that they changed all the forums back to normal (No more Malfred's Off-Topic or Privateer Press News and Rumours) and that Lego Burner commented on a rebellion to restore Yak, I am guessing it is. Could be wrong though...time will tell.

My wife works in a retail establishment and has a series of jokers at her work. Among some of the favorites:

Handed off her change drawer filled (to company standards) with nickels.

The Perennial changing of the CD to Xmas music.

Once, with the help of her managers (after having same trick played on her by them), got one of her co-workers to believe that the store was closing in a month and that everyone else had a job lined up with another branch, and had him going for the entire day.

Placed two labels on some of the customer-use machines: the first "Not a Cylon." The second was an arrow pointing to the first machine "He's a Cylon."

I shudder to think of what I'm in for when I get home tonight.

Bought a junker car that looked a lot like my buddies prized Karman Ghia. Moved his car, placed said junker in it's place. Set it on fire about 2 minutes before he walked up on it.

Car tires around the school flagpole. Try getting THOSE off. (they used a chainsaw)

Then you're officially an April Fool.

I did that thing from Hot Fuzz, where I hold a small pack of tomato sauce in my hand and place it over my eye, then stab a fork between my fingers. My mum screamed and tried to call an ambulance.

Once, I wrote an article on a gaming site about how to paint miniatures with bodily fluids...

Oh gak. I actually tried that.

You... ah, damn tightass Dakka rules.

Shut up

jack, me thinks you did fail


makeup was tested to make sure it cannot cause harm (let alone blind someone)
allthough mascara hurts when it gets thrown at you

Get lost JD! HAHAH!
Don't bring you scientific gak into here!

Nah jokes.
Yeah but it would be just about his bag if she wore contacts or something and the mascara like fused them to her retina lol.

Yea that's right, you send me some of you scientific gak and I'll send you some of mine

there is no way of fusing a contact to your eye unless its either melted by a chemicle or heated.

the heat needed to do so would not come from a reaction from makeup as it is tested in combinations to prevent a reaction occuring.
only logical way to do so would be by either hot water or a direct heat source.
