What would be best it to combine those last two ones, find some way of making Bill look like an investigator and have him read Dave his rights for illeagly buying and owning pot. [Evil]

To be fair, he didn't tell me... he just told everyone else on the floor...

I found out somehow.

[ROFL] My boss is great! He's our Area Manager...

This morning, he sent out a very official looking e-mail about how he and his wife were going to wait until after the 15th to tell us, but they had to answer the rumors going around. They bought the company.

It went on to reassure us that not much would change, etc. etc....

I sent back a reply that said something like, "Yeah, you just happened to have about $40 million dollars laying around and thought, why not?"

Immediately after, (I'm the Office Supervisor) the guy I have down at the other location calls me...

He doesn't say "Hi, it's L, how's it going?" like normal. He says, "Uhhh...what am I reading here?" [Laugh] L

"L, what's the date today?"

"Oh no, he didn't. He got me. Oh! I am not talking to him for the rest of the day! He totally GOT me!" [ROFL]

.

.

As if that weren't good enough, I talked Boss into another one. I had him call L to tell him to get over here to the store ASAP because I was in labor and was waiting for a ride. When he got here, I was sipping some ice water and surfing the 'Rack. [Big Grin] Who's in labor? Not me! [ROFL]

I can't believe he didn't even call to see if it was true! Goober. I love that guy though, and he takes it well.

If you rub a hot glue stick on his windshield it makes a thick, hard to get off substance. That way when he goes to his car, April Fool's! Your car's all screwed up!

Or you can unscrew a light switch socket and put a cricket in there. They have them at bait shops. That's a pretty good one.

I just recieved an email from our Human Resources person. Apparently, one of our employees--Ron Dover, just had a child. The new boy's name is Benjamin Dumas Dover.

Yeah Right. Someone is going to name their son something thats sounds that bad. Ben Dover, or all three names is even worses.

I actually knew a kid named Benjamin Dover. Met him after I heard his name announced over the PA system at a Little League game. All I could say was "Cruel, cruel parents...."

As to April Fool's, nothing beats a good, well-placed whoopi cushion. [Big Grin]

There's a freshman at my school named Michael Jackson. And a sophomore names Christina Aguliera (I think I spelled that completely wrong.) but she pronounces it differently. Oh, and there's also a sophomore named Ben Stein. I have a very odd school. With very uncreative parents.

We are actually having Honor Code prosecutions at my school right now. So, when my friend tells me that I have been accused of cheating on my last paper, even though I am completely innocent, I think, "dang! some busybody is gonna fill up my time with crap like this. Great!" now I have a REAL Honor Court problem for beating the %&*# out of him.

funny, but NOT funny.

Attack of the Nerds: I had 3 roommates one year of college. This wasn't April Fool's, but it qualifies as a good practical joke.

One of my roommates ordered a new hard drive. I think it was Maxtor, 30GB ATA100. He actually received the package and left it alone on his desk after dinner. Looking back, that package was like a beacon, screaming, "Screw with your roommate's head! I can help!"

I used an old hard drive from an IBM System36 server. Gosh, how to paint this in understandable terminology. Dagonee, it makes Windows 3.1 look modern. Instead of a normal 3.5" drive, this is an 8" monster. It weighs close to 8 pounds. Obviously, there was no way this thing would fit in his standard ATX-style computer case.

Upon returning, he sat down to open the package, and remarked that "it looks like it's been opened." (well, duh [Wink] [Razz] ) He opens it up, and just stares at the monstrous leviathon that looks nothing like a normal hard drive. It's a funny, shocked kind of stare, almost like he just zoned out trying to figure out exactly what that giant drive was and where it came from.

He said, "This wasn't what I ordered." We said, "Guess you better call the company that sold it to you." He grabs the phone, and we hand him the actual drive. [Big Grin]

It's not gone, Celia has it. Though maybe she disposed of it, I don't know. Nor will I believe her whatever she says she did with them (there became a second one). [Razz] [Wink]

I didn't dispose of them, I released them back into the wild. Though, since your grubby little hands had been all over them, I don't know if they'll be accepted back by the other trees.

He doesn't have a car, and if something happens to mine I would consider it crossing a line from which there is no going back.

Ooh, ooh! Or...you could poke a few tiny holes in his brake line with a pin, so that his fluid doesn't all leak out at once. That way he has to depress the brake several times before he loses all pressure...you can make sure he's really up to speed before his brakes give out!

My son said all the kids in his organic chemistry class this afternoon were planning to NOT show up for class today. They are going to leave Dr. Boyle a plate of cookies and a nice note.

This particular April Fool's joke worked out extremely well for my son yesterday. Since he always works for this professor (as R.A.) he was talking to her when time came for class. She asked him to walk with her to class to continue the discussion (remember -- he know that everyone else has skipped class as an April Fool's Joke on her).

They get to the classroom, there is no one there, and just the plate of cookies and a note from the pranksters.

Said professor just says, "oh, those kids!!" and giggles. Then she gives half the cookies to my son!

How lucky can you get?

Man, when I showed up the class I TAed in costume for Halloween *I* didn't get any cookies.

Clearly your son goes to a cooler school. Or maybe organic chemists are more giving than biochemists.

I know it is way late to do any pranks. I just got wind of a good prank by my friend Brian's wife. With him in the room when the call was made. His wife called her sister and told this tear streaming story of how she had caught Brian in bed with another women. After a few more comments (and some by the sister) she said "April Fools". Her sister was pissed. [Smile]

BtL, that's not it. Organic chemists know how to cook.

Biochemists wouldn't give cookies, they'd give fruit. Or maybe "golden" rice. [Big Grin]
