April Fool's Day!

Happy April 1st, better know as April Fool's Day. It seems many like this day so they can joke with others, pull pranks, and be down right sassy if they come up with a good one. I usually don't pull any pranks, I don't feel I am that witty, plus what might be a joke to me, might not be a joke to others. So if I do prank, it is usually small and harmless.

I would love to know what April Fool Jokes any of you have pulled off. I think it will be fun to read, and perhaps get some ideas.

  1. HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!

    I guess this makes me Fool #1 :D

    CAROL: I can't really remember any April Fool's pranks I've pulled..I would probably be too afraid the joke would go wrong and hurt someone's feelings. I'm sure I pranked others when I was younger though..I'll just have to think about it for a little while and see what I remember.

    I haven't watched the video yet..I'm trying to muster the courage...that's one scary looking animal! :D

    CHAIR UPDATE: I asked my sister about the fifth chair..she told me there were only four. I argued with her..but she's holding firm. When I told her that I looked all over the house for that chair..she suggested I get therapy...LOL! Calling Dr. Bombay.. ;)

    Have a great day everyone!

  3. Good Morning Hooters!

    Zonabaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby, congrats on 1st!! Good morning Carol.

    Not much of an April Fools prankster, can't really remember any I have done. Except once when my boys were teenagers and I told them I was pregnant. Let them think it all day too. They were so flabbergasted and couldn't believe it! How could I!! LOL

    Hope you all have a good- prankless- day!

  4. Congrats on first most beautifullest of all, Zona!
    That is so funny about the chair. Sounds like something I would do. Actually we have tables that I use for the yard sales. I gave my mom one to use when she had surgery and a week later I searched hi and lo for it, telling my son that I didn't know where it was. I got mad about it and then realized that I let my mom borrow it...hahah.

    Have a good day everybody, again...and it is nice and sunny here so I am still in that Happy Happy, joy, joy mood. :)

    Happy April Fool's Day everyone. :)

    I do know that my hubby used to get me every year for the longest time. He would look out and say disparagingly, "Bebbi, your tire is flat!" and I would jump up and be all bummed out and then look out and realize it wasn't...

    I am pretty naive with things. It took me about 10 years of this before I caught on. He doesn't do it anymore, FINALLY...haha. :)

  10. *I never prank anyone. Nobody ever pranks me.



    *What you're about to read is a lie.

  11. Bebbi- they were not happy! They were going to be embarrassed and for goodness sake did I know how OLD I was? Actually, at that time I was about 38- so not that damn old, I had my first when I was 20. Personally, I think they were jealous.

    They were just not happy with us at all, which made it even funnier. They were so relieved and pissed when we told them the truth after letting them stew about it all day and night that we laughed ourselves silly!!

  12. Morning Glories!

    Zona you are so beautiful to me! Congrats on first you April Fool!

    Carol I think I have told the story before but I did one very big prank years ago and really was sorry after. One of my friends who happened to be my boss at the time had me call a close friend of hers and pretend I was an IRS agent and tell them that they had done their taxes incorrectly and they owed money.

    Well I evidently did such a good job the poor guy was about to stroke out! She finally grabbed the phone and yelled April Fool. He was so mad. Finally he calmed down and started to laugh, but he said that if he ever found out who I was he was gunning for me. Geeeez.

    What had him convinced is that I said he owed something like. $1,647.68 cents. No round figures for me.

    I have never done a prank like that again ever!

    My Mom and Dad were married on April fools day and it took them a week to convince everyone it was not a joke. They really got married.

  14. Zona Happy April Fools Day back atcha. Congrats on being first today. On the news last night, I saw a huge fire there in your city. I hope you aren't near that.

    Carol From Area 51, Soon I will start getting serious about counting calories again. Hopefully, today.

    Goldie That was a great joke you pulled on your sons! You must have been secretly LYAO all day!

    Bebbi You are so perky! I'll recognize you in Chicago because you'll be the one walking all over the hotel. LOL

    Bonach If I recall correctly, your hubby is quite the prankster and I bet you give as good as you get.

    LynnD From Area 51, that is very depressing about the volunteer that was stealing from the food bank. Either they really needed it but were too proud to ask for help or they are a low-down, dirty thief. Very sad, either way.

    I hope you all have a great day. We had a lot of rain yesterday....just in time to drench me after getting my hair done. LOL

  15. Tina I see you were hiding behind a big branch while I was typing. It's very pretty up here today, too. I don't know if that will change as the day goes on or not, but right now, blue skies with a scattering of puffy, white clouds.

  16. Happy beautiful April fools day!! It is a gorgeous day here in Michigan!

    Zona,lol! I wonder if Colombo can solve your mystery!

    Tina & Diane I will be putting up super barriers, so keep your snow/ threats out of Mich!

    I had my "Smart Lipo" done yesterday. I am feeling pretty good today. I was in surgery for 2 & 1/2 hrs. I was awake the whole time, talking and singing (must have been the Valium.I was a little woozy from the meds. I am sure it was cuz they were taken on an empty stomach! I am so happy that there is no pain! You would think that having a lazer rod pumping you for that long would cause pain, nope. Feeling great! I have to wear a girdle for a couple months to make sure every thing is shaped right, but I don't mind that.
    Have a great day all!

  19. Happy April Fools Day Owls.

    Zona, You aren't a fool, but you are the prettiest goof! I told you I bet there wasn't a 5th chair.

    I haven't pulled any April Fool pranks as an adult, but my boss did one that really wasn't that funny. My first career was as a dental assistant and I worked in a medical building. My boss stopped in at one of the other dentists office and called me to say he was sick and I would have to reschedule all the patients. I called the first patient immediately and she was sorry to hear the doc was sick, but thankful that I reached her before she left the house. Well, he walked in the door just as I hung up the phone. He didn't think I would act so quickly. Then he had to decide whether to call her back and tell her what a jerk he was or just let it go. He decided to just let it go and swore me to secrecy. That one backfired and I loved it.

  20. well there was the year that I had the cab of a friends husbands work truck filled with about 3 feet of cement.......

    and of course the year that they had a fully grown Spider Monkey delivered to my front door......

    OMG.....the 2 guys that delivered the thing removed the cover from the crate/cage and that things started shaking those bars and screaming at me..... shrieking you could hear down the street.....

    I told the guys to hang on and backed into the house and onto the sofa in the living room....my assistant walked in and could see that I was visibly shaken....I said ....SOMEONE HAS SENT ME A GODDAMN APE!! Call the Vet School at A&M and tell them to come and get it!!

    I peeked out the drape to see what it was doing and I couldn't see the guys or the crate....so I opened the door and there stood Sandra and Bob.....I was about to cry from anger and fright when Sandra said..."how did you like your monkey?"

    I stood staring at her in slack jawed amazement trying to wrap my mind around her words when about 5 more people stepped in behind them and hollered "APRIL FOOL!!"

  23. DeeDee, monkeys are the Devil's spawn. I left a tiny one in a hotel room for an hour and the damn thing caused $10,000 in damage. No way could I do that without explosives.

  29. Maureen...I haven't talked to you to even say hello! Hope you didn't think I was purposefully ignoring you!! I'd rather die than have someone think that I was ignoring them without any explanation which would make me look like such an unbalanced person...

    I hope you know I am way better than that silliness....WAY BETTER....way!

  30. Hi DeeDee~! Hope your day was great. Loved the monkey story..it was one of my faves of the day!

    My fave of the day was goldie's "I'm pregnant" story, that was funny! OMG, that is a classic.

    My April Fool's day stories are lame compared to those.
