April Fools

my daughter, who is 4, got me. She was in the living room, and I had a friend coming over to look at a car I am selling. I hear her say "Daddy, there is a scary guy in the window." Assuming it was my friend, I went into the living room where she was laughing and yelling APRIL FOOLS. I didn't even know she knew what it was......
I didn't see this posted on here yesterday but this one gave me a mild scare. I hadn't seen anything else and did remember it was April 1, but a scare nonetheless.

This is obviously a fake account. Very tricky making the "L" in wolves an "i"

The side bar that is labeled all sports on the right of the screen says that DeSean Jackson signed with the Giants. Looks like that might be another one.
I wanted to punch the dude created that account. Thanks for shortening my life by 10 years.
One of my workers (who I previously had thought devoid of humor) called me in the morning to tell me that his work truck made a funny sound when he went to start it and threw the crankshaft out the bottom of the motor. The engine was brand new and had just been installed about a month ago. After I vented with a few choice words, he pretty calmly stated "Happy April Fools Day, what do we have going on today?"
I think this story about Sears and Eddy Lampert was my favorite of the day. Just a very humorous March 32 article (I love leap year)!

My April Fools joke just ended last night. On April 1st (really, kind of a coincidence) my wife brought home some groceries, including her weakness, oreos, which set my plan into action. The next day, I went out and bought a bag of oreos and hid them. Once she had eaten about 10 or so, I started replacing some every day. The bag slowly went from 3/4ths, to 2/3rds, to 1/2, to about 1/3. I, of course, didn't replace the exact amount, or it would be too obvious, so the bag slowly diminished.
I've been able to tell the past couple of weeks that she has been looking at the bag funny, but just kind of shrugged it off, I guess. Anyways, last night, she said to me, "Aren't you proud of me? I've had this bag of oreos for like, 3 or 4 weeks, and it's still not gone." I bursted out laughing and had to tell her. She took it in stride, and then realized that what she got out of it was more oreos.
Not sure how good the joke sounds on paper, but I certainly had fun with it, and it was certainly a harmless to play on someone you love.

My roommate is terrified that the giant old pine tree in her yard is eventually going to fall over during a heavy wind. So I went and took a picture of it while she was at work and photoshopped it so it looked like it had fallen into the neighbors yard and then texted it to her.
