For years, I have planned on having a big, fun, April Fool's day. It never works out. This year, I'm going to play some April Fool's jokes if it kills me. This is the year!
Does anyone have any good prank ideas? I don't want to hurt anyone, or disrupt somebody's business. Just some good clean fun! |

Well, there's always the old "Easter egg dye in the showerhead" trick. (Kool-aid works, too.) That's good clean fun.

There is a fine line to walk here!
I like the fact that you do not want to hurt anyone or disrupt business. It's not much fun if someone ends up in hospital or a business loses money because you want to have a laugh. Anywho, here are a few pranks to get the ball rolling... Use a small post-it note and place it under someone's computer mouse (covering the ball on the bottom). When they go to use the mouse, it won't do anything! Remember to write "April Fool!" on the bottom Choose a bright color of food coloring to add to the milk. Buy it in a cardboard container so nobody can see inside. Make sure you are around when they pour it on their cereal. Put confetti in all the umbrellas in a hotel lobby/office/house, etc. Bring on the pranks (but remember, it's more fun if no one dies!)
The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are

This one is great and not really mean, but you have to be careful not to pick someone who could have a heart attack. Not sure if it makes sense on a Tuesday which is April 1 though.
Tape one of those short segments on TV when they read the numbers for a lotto jackpot. Make sure you leave out the date if possible. Then go out and buy a ticket for the next week with the numbers you have on tape. At the appropriate time, get the victim in front of the TV and hand them the ticket as you say that you are just too excited to check because you have a "really strong feeling". As an extra incentive, offer them a million if you win. As they watch the TV, of course your tape is playing and all the numbers match... Make sure you are out of reach when you tell them the truth! -bigwolf {*}

Go to a bank and take a deposit slip; on the back of it, write "I have a gun. Give me all the money in your drawer." Then put the slip back in the stack about 10 or 12 down and right side up.
Stand back and wait for the "fun" when the teller turns it over to stamp it after an unsuspecting customer has given it to her! (This is just a joke, of course. Do this for real and you will burn in hell forvever. Guaranteed! ) |

Fake Lotto tickets are great. You can get them from http://www.magicsmith.com. They are scratch cards that say you win $10,000, but on the back of the card it tells how it was all a joke. We tried this on a few people and they were so shocked; it was hilarious.

This is a little hurtful, but the reactions you'll see are worth it! (heehee) I actually saw this on one of those 'funniest home video' shows.
You know those cheap plastic protective mats that you can buy (they come on a roll, and you just cut them to the length you want)?They're usually clear, and most importantly, have those little pointy things on the underside to keep the mat from sliding around. Well, say in a hallway, where you have a couple of these mats in a row, turn one of them upside down, so the pointy things are up. And set the Camcorder!! You'll see people walking normally down the hall, then hit those pointy things, and YOW!!!!! (well, it's more startling than painful......)

If you have a sprayer hooked up to your kitchen sink, tape the handle down with some black electrical tape and aim it forward.
When someone turns on the water...well, you get the idea!

At work, it can be fun to switch the "n" and "m" keys on the keyboard of someone who must look at the keyboard when they type.

This is the best prank in the world. Go to your mall and ask if you can fool some people. Then hire a Mexican band and get a pinata on a stand.
Go up with your band and blind fold someone and ask them to hit the pinata with a stick. Play some Mexican music then as they start swinging run away and hide; don't forget the pinata. So they're in the mall swinging around at nothing. If you are 'sick' and laugh at everything, it is a site to see someone attack another person because they think it is the pinata. Lee |

Here's what you do...
get a FedEx envelope and mark it clearly Attn: S. Hussein Esq. Presidential Suites 100 Al Karkh Avenue Baghdad Iraq BG13LA Now you need a pint of kerosene, a mousetrap, a book of matches and a cherry-bomb firework.... Remember to mark the envelope CLEARLY. |

Lets see, where to start, Hmmmmmmmmmm
I'm surprised no one mentioned raising the toilet seat and putting plastic wrap over the porcelain part. Make sure no wrinkles show. then put the lid back down. Get back from lunch early and take regular clicky pens apart. The little clicker part (sits on top of the ink cylinder) is usually in 3 sections. Remove the bottom section and these pens won't stay clicked (open???) Get on an elevator and; -stuff your hand inside your jacket, then start giggling nervously. -start talking to yourself, then argue (with yourself) and ask people if they don't agree with you. -get a friend to get on with you and talk about last night's hit, and how you can't believe the agency wants another one so soon etc... -put red dots all over your arms (sharpie marker time) and ask the people around you if they've ever seen a rash like this, and stick your arm up real close so they can get a good look. (Sigh) the possibilities are endless, too bad it only comes once a year... Happy April 1st Steve zzz |

That's a good one, but "Burn in hell" for that, probably not, although you could actually "Rot in jail" for a while. Steve zzz |

Just thot of another one:
Sign on here as a new user. Go to the Books for sale section, and put up 10 copies of "Cards as Weapons" for $10. Say your dad was a book dealer in the 70's and you found them in his attic while cleaning it out for him. Say you have no real use for them, and found this site while web surfing. You might add that they are in mint condition, as they were never sold. Steve zzz Ps only once a year. |
