Peircing scream

i recemtly purcashed these things called Nanodots. They're little dot magnets, like the NeoCube. SO, because the stick together, it is possible to make it seem like you have an earring by sticking one of the dots behind your ear and one infront. i did that, and added a whole other buch of "peircings" to my face, and i told my boyfriend that there was a "50% off deal at the body peircing store." he got so freaked out..and he actually screamed!, i laughed so hard, then he asked me why i was laughing, and that i wont be able to go on a plane anymore because of the metal. i was laughing so hard that it took 15 minutes to explain to him that it wasnt real peircings. LOL!

April fools prank

When my Grandmother was a teen, she said that she and two friends had thrown a thick blanket over a fire hydrant and asked some men in the street to "help them to lift a heavy piece furniture for them because they were not strong enough to move it themselves." Some men believed their story, and strained hard to lift it. After each man gave up the struggle, my Grandmother and her friends laughed until sundown.

Mailman joke

A couple of years back I took a very large plastic real looking spider. I tied it to the mailbox door with fishing line. I then put up the flag and waited. When the mailperson opens the mailbox to get your mail a spider flies out at them. I left a note inside that said Happy April Fools Day. My mailman loved it. You do have to be on good terms with your mailman. :O)

Funny prank

My friend kept on saying to everybody at school that the bathroom is out of order. I of course didn't believe her so I went into the bathroom, partly because I wanted to see for myself if it was out of order or not, and partly because I terribly needed to use the washroom. I went in and saw this fat guy standing beside the sink. I asked him what he was doing in the ladies room and he just laughed and said, "Girl, go use the bathroom." So I went into the stall thinking to report him later, and when I sat down on the seat, my butt started to burn and I just started screaming my head off. The weird thing was that the guy was laughing.

A rude awakenning.

Well one of my freinds decided it would be nice to try to prank me, I was sleeping so he grabed a small coffee table and an air horn. set the table above my head and blew the air horn right in my ear, needless to say I hit my head pretty hard on that table. Hurt like hell too.

Grumpy

1976-77 I was living in Auckland, New Zealand. The disc jockey on the local radio station announced early in the morning that a iceberg was floating up the estuary towards Auckland harbor, it was one that had come adrift from the south pole! The traffic jam in Auckland City Center took hours to clear, I believe he was censured for his April 1st joke.

April Fool

A spool of thread in an inside coat pocket. Using a needle put the end of the thread thru the back of the coat and pull it down about 10 inches. People will invariably say something or just try to remove the thread. Much to there surprise it will just keep coming out and they think they are pulling the coat stitching apart.
