Anyone got anything particularly cunning planned for April ROFL day?
Its just round the corner coffee

A list of ideas is in order. Or favourite stories etc.

One of my favourites, probably becauase I did it, was going out and buying a dried fish which I hid in the room of a bird I was staying with. Hour upon hour of "Whats that smell?" & "Cant you smell that?" was most amusing.

Childish perhaps, but life is too short.
Embrace this wonderful opportunity, its better than valentines day!

One thing to do is ignore threads and, thus, infuriate the OP wink

1. Obtain victims car keys.
2. Collect contents of as many hole punches as you can.
3. Empty contents of hole punches into car dashboard air vents.
4. Ensuring ignition is off, open all dash vents and turn control knob to direct air flow into drivers face, ensuring fan setting is at maximum.
5. Return victims car keys.
6. Await amusing results.

There was a good one with clingfilm and a toilet

What you do is get some decent cling film, find the victim's toilet, and jam the whole roll down the pan, then jam some more round the ballcock, and flood the place.

I once did something very similar to this but entirely by accident. My mum sent me down to her car at the age of about 14 to go and fetch the shopping in. After about 4 trips i started to get a bit pissed off and grabbed a bag from the passenger seat a bit too ... roughly. Unfortunately the bag was a paper one filled with bran from the local health food shop. It exploded over the front of the car with a large amount disappearing into the passenger side air vent. I cleaned as best i could, but the next morning she gave a neighbour a lift into work.... I got the idea that something wasn't quite right when she arrived back in the house hairdo filled with bran.

You wrap a rubberband around the sprayer hose of a kitchen sink while the water is off. Make sure the hose is then pointed at where a person would stand. Walk away.. follow next person into kitchen.. try not to laugh before they turn the sink on. Run fast.

One needs a kitchen hose with squeeze-activated spray gun attachment at the sink. Traditionally they recede back into the sink unit and face the washer upper. I cant remember how I did it, it was so long ago, but my mother was the brunt of this joke on a weekly basis for 2 years. Which served her right for not learning nerd

Take the music chip out of an annoying birthday card and drop it into the victims air vent in the car, preferably the screen vent. They will last about 6 months and drive them mad so they have to drive evrywhere with the radio on full or take the dash apart to get it out.

Boot full of paper shreddings always seems a favourite where I work.
As does hanging peoples push bikes from the workshop ceiling by cable ties.

This joke started as a way to help my wife forget about her high stress job and to relax at home. When she was working (before the kids were born) she set up the automatic timer for the coffee machine so it would be made when she got up. Some nights after she went to bed, I would remove the paper filter. By doing this she would have coffee grounds in her coffee as there was nothing to filter said grounds. Some nights she would get up 3 or 4 times while watching TV and check to make sure she used a filter. I made sure that I didn't remove the filter more than 3 times in a 2 week period. This just made her believe that she was losing it.

This went on for close to two years and she always believed that she just forgot to use a paper filter and she never did catch on to my joking ways that I know of. Well after catching her 3 days in a row, she decided enough was enough. I came home from work one day and there is a new,fancy,expensive coffee machine on the counter. She was so proud of herself to find a new machine that had a basket instead of a paper filter and this machine would not work if the basket was not in its proper place. She solved her problem with my credit card to the tune of over 250 dollars and that was 17 years ago. The first few nights she still checked the filter set up and I had a few more laughs at her expense. But for the last 17 years I have been looking over my shoulder for her revenge as our friends that I told about this missing filter joke are 1 day going to spill the beans on me. Maybe the joke was really on me from me.........
