April Fools Prep

Back in about 2003 I was working in St. Paul, MN. On April Fool's day, me and two other co-workers decided to play a prank on our boss. We were the only 4 people left in the office, so the three of us found an official eviction notice for non-payment of lease and modified it to be our company's office. We posted it on the door, then I jammed a pencil between the doorknob and door jamb so my boss' key wouldn't work and he'd think the lock was changed. We sat in side and awaited his arrival.

Long story short, after seeing the notice and calling me to see if I had seen the notice, he ended up calling our corporate counsel in California and things spun a bit out of control. We had to call him and tell him to stop and that it was a joke. He was pretty ****** off, but our CEO thought it was hilarious. To this day he's still a little miffed about it, but he smiles and knows we got him good.

I wouldn't recommend this one unless you know how your boss is going to react, and you know that the higher-ups will laugh it off.
 
Tank type toilets have a flexible tube inside the tank that sprays when the toilet is flushed. They are usually just long enough to stick out the front of the toilet tank under the lid.
 
Take chocolate syrup and red(or green) food coloring, mix them, put them in the upper part of the toilet so when it flushes, brown and red(or green) water comes out. Then when people freak out tell them you took an upper-decker.
 
the old poop dollar trick always gets some poor little kid riding his bike past my house.

Supplies: dog poop, and a dollar.

I usually get home from work and assemble the poop dollar then put it right by my driveway. I then proceed to start grilling supper on my deck and by the time supper is done some poor kid has discovered the poop dollar. Gets me laughing every time! FYI.. This joke is not limited to april fools. Basically any time you need a laugh would suffice.

Another decent one is to roll your significant other's deoderant all the way up (if they wear any) and cut it off with a knife and fill it with cream cheese.

Embarrassed to admit I don't know the poop dollar trick.

More embarrassed to admit I want to know what it is.
 
Take one of those brown inter-office envelopes and fill it up with the dots from a hole punch. More dots the better. Put there name on it. Turn the envelope upside down, and make a slit all the way across the bottom. Carefully place the envelope on the victims desk laying flat with their name up. When they pick up the envelope it will rain dots all over their lap, chair, floor, etc.

Something in the Friday Confessions thread got me thinking about April Fools jokes. What are some harmless pranks you plan to pull on co-workers, significant others, children, etc? My ideas this year are pretty lame, so I'm giving myself ample prep time if I decide to steal someone else's.

My only plans were to mess with my wife's phone by changing the ring tone and adding a "cracked screen" app since she drops it so often.

Define "harmless".
 
One of my favorite work pranks requires a coworker to leave their computer unlocked when they get up from their desk for at least a couple of minutes. Take a screen shot of whatever they have open, minimize everything, minimize the taskbar, and set the background/wallpaper to the screen shot. I did this to a coworker once and she ended up being gone for so long that I forgot about it. I remembered finally when I heard her on the phone with the help desk. Even the help desk had no idea after remoting into her computer.
 
got my buddy to send my mom a set-up picture of me being 'arrested' by a cop i know tonight. starting AFD off right!!
 
How about an elementary student organizing a group of like minded classmates to cover her class room in over 200 "Go Cyclones" mini posters (picked up from one of our MBB games this past year".

Said teacher is a diehard Hawk and now almost every table, bulletin board, desk and chair is cardinal and gold. With a few scattered Cyclone Alley props!

And to have a fellow teacher open the school on Sunday afternoon, priceless.
To have the daughters main accomplice be the daughter of a die-hard hawk as well, beyond value!

We try and raise them right.

This is always a good one. We have a guy in our office who does this pretty routinely and I never leave my CPU unlocked so I just sit back and enjoy listening to people call the help desk.

Also is good to send out a mass email when someone leaves their computer unlocked.

Even though the taskbar would reappear when you take your mouse and hover over it.
 
Go the Tosh route. If they are sleeping in the car, slam on the breaks and scream like you are getting in an accident. Once they realize you are kidding, stab them in the heart.
