1. I never accept gifts on food on April 1st anymore

[FakeNoose]

2. Wow that is the meanest prank!

[mercuryblues]

3. I just told

one very sleepy eyed 17 year old that school was canceled due to tornado warnings. He asked if I was serious.

Uhm, yeah, would I kid you about taking a day off from school?

Kid looks out the window. But it's sunny outside.

April Fools.

He was not amused. I think I will have a box of "donuts" on the table when he comes home from school.

8. My Mother used to use that on me every year when I was a kid.

But instead of tornado warnings, it was snow.

10. It did snow here today.

MotherNature quite the prankster!

4. i would eat that over a krispy kreme anyway.

5. I'll take the whole box.

Too bad the dressing is ranch. I'd rather have bleu cheese.

[Old Crank]

6. I'd be traumatized if I got

Krispy Cremes...

[Ohiogal]

7. That could lead to fisticuffs!

[MrModerate]

9. That's cold. n/t

11. Last April Fools Day--

--Which was Easter Sunday, I played three, safe, silly pranks.

First, I put googly eye push pins into several potatoes that were sitting in a bag atop my sister-in-law's kitchen counter. The hardest part of that was waiting all day until it was time to start prepping Easter Dinner. I also had to excuse myself at just the right time to make certain someone else got stuck with the task of peeling the potatoes.

I also stuck a fairly realistic-looking lizard in the top rack of the dishwasher and used black lipstick to draw a mustache on the bathroom mirror.

I recommend these sorts of jokes because nobody is likely to get hurt or deeply distressed or disappointed. The pay-off is a simple double-take or a look of bewilderment.

Years ago, I put one of those plastic L'eggs eggs in the egg keeper of the refrigerator door. Even my rather hot-tempered brother found it amusing. Alas, L'eggs no longer packages its products in plastic eggs and most fridge doors don't have built in egg slots anymore.

12. bandwidth limit exceeded?

13. I don't know what happened there, but I reposted the graphic

[smirkymonkey]

14. We had someone bring in two Dunkin' Donuts boxes today.

Once had the above in it. The other one had sliced fruit. I'm not a huge donut fan, so I kind of preferred the healthier treats, but some people were seriously bummed out.

[jmowreader]

15. I do like donuts...

...but I would seriously eat the fuck out of that.

16. I played a harmless joke on my co worker today...I told him I broke the button on the Poland Spring

water dispenser he is due to inherit from the workplace. It was beautiful watching him to pretend not to care when that's all he's been talking about for the past 6 months. I said look...it's like I got you something now...here is the intact water cooler ...I told him I did a trump on him.

But yeah the way to get me good is exactly what that tweet up there is all about....I'd be pissed! Knowing me I'd march right out to get some real treats.... take that celery!
