April Fools Pranks - Share stories.

I've never hoaxed anyone and the only thing anyone ever did to me was put an elastic band on the trigger on the hose at the faucet so that when they turned the faucet on, I got hosed in my face.

I did have a girl I worked at a supermarket with who's brother told her that he overheard her boyfriend ask her dad for permission to marry her as a total joke because all she did was talk about her boyfriend. She kept pulling out the Martha Stewart's wedding magazine from the aisle. A few days later, someone updated me that she was so devastated  when she found out that she called out of work for a few days to recover.

That's all I got. What do you have??

Here's some from the internet today: http://www.chicoer.com/news/ci_22914380/april-fools-jokes-internet-pranks (I think the Skinny Jeans are funny (here's a LINK  to the AE ad)

One time I told my dad that there was a monster behind him. I got him good.

Last year FH had hit me in the eye during the night, on accident. I normally bruise easily but did not bruise at all. I put make up on to look like I did and told him he gave me a black eye when he woke up.

Last year my husband and I both changed our FB statuses to single (we weren't married yet) to see how many people would believe that we broke up. Then anyone who caught on and tried to publicly comment "April Fools" we'd delete right away. His sister totally fell for it. It wasn't very creative, but it was funny.

All I have is the elastic band over the trigger too. My FI's brother used to wrap saran wrap on the toilets. I don't know how anyone wouldn't notice it, but he fooled some of the ladies in the house.

When I was younger I remember getting my dad's fishing lures (the gel worms) out of his tackle box and putting them in his bed. I thought it was the funniest thing, and I really thought I was going to fool him, I mean who would've thought neon pink worms do not exist?

I had a good laugh today when I called my mother and told her that I was too overwhelmed with all the wedding planning and that my fiancee and I had eloped to vegas over the weekend...

We had a great laugh after she was done screaming at me over the phone...

muppet I am excited that your link was from the ChicoER, since I live in Chico, lol.

don't have many adult stories, but as a kid I would do the easy things: black eye, some sort of "injury" or one year I did a fake cast (my mom was a nurse so she had access to bring one home; I went to school and dance (my dance teacher freaked out since it was middle of comp season, lol).

so far today I've seen 3 I'm pregnant stories, and they swear they are not joking, but we will see...

FFIL woke up his wife by telling her she was late for work and I guess she jumped up, freaking out and started to scramble around...then realized it was 4:30 am.

When he got home, she told him a story about her boss being a jerk and said she quit...and he believed her.  She got him back.

Not much on my fb today. They shut down the bridge to Maine from NH because an oil tanker hit it FI thought it was a hoax... I'm like, no, the news stations don't hoax people.
