Your Turn

Last time you participated or fell victim to an April Fool's Day joke? What was it?

    I don't remember who it was but one year I woke up and radio was broadcasting someone died, and I sat there for awhile believing it, until I realized what day it was (it was somebody in sports and they were saying he died because a ball hit him in the nuts while he was playing and they rushed him to ER and he died of internal bleeding while waiting to go into an operating room for emergency surgery.)
    OT I see this checked box below restored E-mail notification to comments\direct reply. I hope that doesn't mean every reply comes to the E-mail box.

    I put on a silver wig and a Brooks Brothers suit, went up to Gloria Vanderbilt and said "Hey mom, got a few thousand you can lend me until my next paycheck?".

    Gloria handed me a wad of 50s. I think she knew it was me, but wanted to reward my efforts.

    I didn't care. I used the money to hire a male stripper for Don Lemmon.

    One year my work gave away tickets to a comedy show, and I won them. Hubby and I wanted to attend, but the show was that night and we didn't have time to arrange a sitter for our 8 year-old kiddo.

    I called one of my sisters, asked her "Where are you? You were supposed to be here 20 minutes ago!" She said "What for?" and I told her she said she would babysit when hubby and I went out to this comedy show we got tickets for months ago.

    "Oh my God, I completely forgot! I'll be there in 15!"

    I did tell her afterwards, and she was very good-natured about my April Fool. Annnnd this is something you can only do to that person once... PS - the show was good and we had a great night out.

    Wow, not since junior high school. Our German class turned the instructor's desk upside down and backwards before he got to class. He was irritable for the rest of the period, lol.

    A little similar - in college, we stole the door off the room of a guy we couldn't stand. We got one person he was friendly with (that did'n't mind we were going to screw with him) to ask him for a hand moving furniture - as soon as he went in the guy's room, we went to work, using a screwdriver for leverage for get the hinges out - then we took the door and hid it outside.

    When he came back 5 or so minutes later, we heard this scream. We sat around in a room right by his, doing bong hits and laughing our tails off.

    He just paced around his room all night, mumbling things like "I can't believe they did this"..."I'll get even, they all know I'll get even"...and other stuff like that.

    He never found out who did it - and no one ever broke and told him.

    I once believed in what the msm said, but they give fake news not only on april fool's (or the Innocents's day, if you live in some other countries).
    I do not believe anything from the msm anymore neither have I ever been a prankster.

    This did not happen on April Fools day, but when my husband was in college, he had a test that he had not studied for. He went to class early and hung a note on the classroom door saying that class had been canceled. The prof was so mad he gave them a harder exam and my husb. made a 67...highest in the class. At the end of the semester, the prof felt bad about everyone's low test scores so he curved everyone's grade. My husband ended up making a 100 on that exam.

    Last year. Mother and I have a face-off every year as a tradition. I won last year after losing twice the previous years. Can't even remember what it was about. But I won. I fucking won.
