I put a Friskies label on a can of deviled ham and spread it on crackers in front of everyone.

1) Switch the labels on the Friskies and deviled ham in your buddy's pantry.

2) Nest your neighbor's trash cans.

That's just cruel. Funny, but cruel...

Not really an April Fools Prank, but a prank.

My father in law lives in NJ. NJ is famous for not allowing it's subjects to pump gas.

I taped a muscular nude gay guy playing card (don't ask why I have it lol) inside the fuel door on his truck.

It was 2 months before he realized it was there when he pumped his own gas in Pennsylvania.

Thanks for the link Roll Eyes

Now my daughter and her friend want to go and see the jet. I am going to hear, "can we go, please" all weekend.

Mayo in filled donuts is a classic, air horn under an desk chair set up so when you sit in the chair the horn goes off, have done grass seed in the keyboard a little water and a couple of days grass starts sprouting, removed the mic element in the desk phone a time or two, and goldfish in the water container.

I miss the less PC days of working in an office.

One of my ladies in the long term care facility did the Oreos/toothpaste trick to her son when he came for a visit.

I think the Brussels sprouts dipped in chocolate and on sticks or in Ferrero Rocher wrappers is pretty funny.

I was always fond of the "tape over the mouse sensor" or even better, using a dongle to add an extra wireless mouse and messing with them off and on all day.

Once again, the Sigforum membership rises to the occasion. I find many practical jokes are unimaginative and annoying. But the ones in this thread made me laugh out loud.

Damn. I just got back from NJ after attending my aunt's funeral (I was raised there and my sister still lives there). This would've been perfect for my brother in law. He'd appreciate that kind of humor...eventually. Big Grin

5ish years ago, I had to go for my annual hearing test for work. The 3rd party company we used for audiology also did drug testing and the criminal justice system used them too. I wasn't going to strike up a conversation with the dregs of society and it was April 1st so I spent the entire hour googling office pranks. I had a bunch of shit to get done when I finally got back to the office so I was the last one in the office that night.

I decided to spend a few minutes implementing a few pranks:
  • The lobby off our floor's elevator bank was t-shaped so there were 3 doors. The restrooms were outside of security in the t-shapped lobby too. I put door out of service notices on the 2 most frequently used doors and routed everyone through the 3rd door leading to the unused offices and cubes we hadn't grown into yet. For about 2 hours everyone walked the long way to their desk and to the restroom.
  • I made 20 copies of a paper clip on a blank piece of 8.5x11 paper then randomly inserted the copies in the paper tray of the multifunction print, copy, fax machine. Overheard conversations the next day about some sort of virus causing the phantom paper clip to be printed.



  • Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity

    I used to replace some of the tic tac breath mints with some white exlax pills at parties. I would bring a few containers and disperse them.

    This wasn't an April Fools joke, just a joke on the daughter of the companies owner after she joined the company shortly after graduating from college. It took us about 10 minutes to wrap her chair in Saran Wrap. As we were wrapping, her father added Super Glue periodically so she couldn't just unwrap it. Took her a good hour to get it all done.

    If you have access to your target's idle Windows computer, this is fun:

    1) Move the mouse pointer to the lower right corner to hide it from view.
    2) Take a screenshot of the desktop (ALT + Print Screen).
    3) Paste screenshot into new image in Paint. Save as JPG or Bitmap.
    4) Set saved screenshot image as the new windows desktop background.
    5) Delete or hide desktop icons, all of them or just a few, your choice.

    Sit back, watch and enjoy!
