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!

The ole rubberband around the sink sprayer is fun too.

Details pls smile
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

I'm looking forward to BMW's joke.

Any insiders know what to expect?
A nonsensical self defeating eco system of sorts, is my guess.

Or for the back-door Rapunzel wannabe's, a Genuine BMW approved German bumhair ponytail dangley rear view mirror accessory.

My money is on an eco widget.

It's too expensive to fit one to every car, what is needed is a global solution, like a big hole in the atmosphere on the top of the planet to let all the hot air out.

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.........

That actually comes across as a bit...creepy.
It brings the twits to my mind.
To my mind?
To mind, in my mind. In my head.

I doubt they'd poke any fun at any "green" ideas in this day and age, as it'll make it look like they are trivialising global warming.
Ahem....

Another joke that we played on our small town Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, was my old girlfriend helped me get my hands on Randy's keys for his new Trans Am for a few hours. To make a long story shorter I went and had these keys copied so we had 2 spare sets. When Randy was off duty he would park his car across the street facing east from our local bar at the gas pumps of a petro station that wasn't open at night. Well I would move the car and face it west but on the same side of the pumps. The look on his face some nights when we left the bar was priceless. One night the ex and I both moved the car so it was back where it started. When I moved out of that town I left my spare keys an a confession of what I had been doing with one of Randy's fellow policemen. My ex followed me to Calgary several months later.
The following fall my ex and I decided to go back to Aldergrove for a visit and get some work done on my new 4X4. We stopped at the local bar to have lunch with my sister (just coffee and soup). My ex stayed at the bar waiting for her Mom to show up and loan us her car for our visit while my truck was in the shop. I left to get things set up at my buddys shop and a RCMP officer pulls me over 1 mile from the bar. He says I have been drinking at the bar for awhile and I have to go in to blow. I argue and he decides to empty our suitcases out in the truck. He tore everything apart and then radios for a towtruck to impound my truck. He even handcuffed me behind my back. As we go in the back doors of the police station, Randy pops out and yells "GOT YA." Our mistake was telling my sister the night before that we were coming home and she told Randy about my new truck.
Several nights later we ran into Randy and some of his co-workers at the neighborhood pub on the outskirts of town. A friend of mine and I went out and removed all 4 valve stems out of Randy's tires. When they left the pub a bunch of us were upstairs at an apartment on the balcony. Randy's date ( my ex's sister ) got to their car and we heard her tell Randy that he had a flat. He then started yelling that somebody must have slashed his tires as he had 4 flats. At that moment he heard from the balcony " GOT YA ".
For the next 10 days I kept a very low profile and didn't see Randy once but his co-workers that I ran into had a good laugh and told me to avoid Randy like the plague. When we got back to Calgary, we mailed him the other set of keys that we still had with some cheap flowers (from my ex.) to the police station he worked out of. He has been transfered out of that station but he told my buddies that someday/somewhere he will find me. So if for some reason you happen to read this Randy K. I now live just outside of Calgary and in the nice weather I drive 1 of my 3 TVRs and 2 of them are V8s and 1 is supercharged.



SO CATCH ME IF YOU CAN.................HA.HA. GOT YA AGAIN.
You're weird.
Every story involving a north american man called Randy always feature a Weirdo in it somewhere.
