April Fools Day!

#44
April fool's day is really about the dumbest thing ever in my book.

On another message board that I frequent all day people have been posting threads with shocking titles and then saying "Aprils Fool's!" in the body. :scowl: It becomes real transparent and real old after the first guy does it.

Just to parody everyone I made a post that says "One time I farted." as the title. In the body it says "Ha! April fool's! I've never farted!" Someone will probably take it seriously.

I swear I've heard "Hey, the Pope just died a few minutes ago!"

"Really?"

"Naw, April Fools! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
*gasp*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I AM SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!one!!11!!!"

At least twelve times today. Not even counting on the Internet.

Although my ecology teach got the class pretty good today. About twenty minutes into the class, he says "OK, I'm done for the day, I'll let you all go early!"
So everyone gets up and heads for the door. He waits until people are just getting out and says "April Fools! Back to your seats!"
So everyone sits back down and gets quiet. Then my teacher says "No, I was fooling you the last time. Get out of here, have a good weekend!"

I dunno, I thought it was kind of funny. Better than telling someone their mom died. :scowl:

my marine biology teacher pulled one like that on us today. She comes in and says "Ok class, I've talked to the district and due to my saved sick days, they're letting me retire earlier, so next friday is my last day!"
then we get excited, cause we don't like her too much...then she yells "april fools" at us...

sad thing, she got us again. "ok class, write an essay on the marine habitat of the Gulf Coast you have 45 minutes." So here I go writing my essay cause I'm a good student, I'm not going to complain. I just do my work. then it turns out as another joke...and i just spent 5 minutes worrying about finishing in time and then it turns i just wasted 2 sheets of paper...evil old lady

It also says things like how Charles has agreed for travellers and Gipsies to camp for free on his large country estates!! :D

bruce, i'm terribly interested in the gipsies as they exist today, but have found very little information on them. in the states, the modern nomads revolve around drug production and sales, running scams to finance their lifestyle, and so on.

what's it like overseas? i hear stories from my grandfather, who was stationed in GB during and after ww2, and its mostly comical: tales of bar fights, clever gipsies bilking the bourgeoisie, etc.

is it anything like the flick "snatch?" its something that, for some reason, fascinates me. are they the romano, in terms of ethnicity? or is it, like here, made up of the lost and wandering?

I don't find any humor in telling someone that their mother has died, or planting fake bombs in high schools.

Then you are going to hate this one ...

We were going to buy 17 small Wendy's Chili's and one
order of of chicken fingers. Then we were
going to put one chicken finger in one chili, pass them around the office and play
'Find the Finger'.

My office is a bit warped ...

I work in an IT department and we all have really warped/black humor there, which is good since we are all pretty much on the same page.

Anyway, we got a call this morning about that one of our coworkers mother died suddenly last night..... some hilarity ensued until we realized that this was not a joke...:(

Nedlessly to say we skipped our usual April Fools antics today :(

I was in Wendys last night, and some people sitting at a table across from us were having some fun with that too.

Pulled a prank on my older sister today...

Alright, so my sister's hand cream is this off-white type colour. So this morning, I got up early and made bacon for breakfast, before my sister woke up. I poured all of the bacon grease into a small bowl, and waited for it to cool. Now, when the bacon grease cools, the top of it hardens, and turns to almost the exact colour of the hand cream. So, I took the hardened part of the grease, mixed it into a creamy texture, and replaced my sister's hand cream with the grease, shut the lid, and flushed the cream.

Sister gets up, 'moisturizes', and agrily washes her hands for fifteen minutes. I win. :p ;) :D
