Are you ready for April 1? The day for salt in the sugar jar, Vaseline on the refrigerator door handle and crank calls.
To celebrate, we want to hear about your best April Fools’ prank.
Have you slipped a funny fortune into someone’s cookie, changed every clock in the house or sewed the bottom of Dad’s favorite pajama pants closed?
Here are a couple more funny (but harmless) ideas, from the Denver Post:
- “Nervous eggs: Use an indelible-ink pen to draw terrified expressions on all the eggs in the carton.
- Deceptive cake: Use canned or homemade frosting to coat an unwrapped roll of toilet tissue or paper towels. To make it even more appealing — and convincing — add sugary embellishments.”

My greatest trick was pulling off the faceplate of several of the office ROLM phones, and putting a little scrap of black paper over the phone line lights, and then putting the faceplate back on.
So when a call came in and they put it on hold, they couldn’t see which line was blinking.
And some of the other phones I covered up the light and then transferred their line to another extension, so they couldn’t figure out why their incoming calls were ringing at the desk next to them.
Surprisingly, they didn’t fire me.
Mix some finely-chopped jalepenos into brownie batter. You can’t see them, you can’t smell them, and you don’t really TASTE them as much as feeling a peculiar burn in the back of your throat.
One coworker, after eating 6 of them, complained that the jalapenos made him sick. No — eating 1/4 of a pan of brownies made you sick.
every year i put clear wrap under the lid of the shampoo bottles… so when u go to use ur shampoo, nothing comes out.. its so funny!!

I use to own a restaurant in Southwest Kansas. Every morning we would put the daily noon special on a lighted sign in front of the restaurant. The waitress and I decided that morning to do a little April Foolery. We put…Today’s Special…TV Dinners.
One of our daily customers came in and was (seriously) PO’d. He told us “If I wanted to have $%#%&^$ TV Dinners, I’d eat at home!” We had to actually explain to him that is was a joke!!
Everyone else got a kick out of it!!!
One year I went and flipped my grandchildren’s mattresses upside down, leaving the sheets on.
One year I sewed all of my husband’s underwear together and also sewed the pockets of his work jeans short and even sewed some change in one pair. I didn’t know which pair he would wear, so I had to sew them all.
Linda - your idea with your hubby’s work pants is hilarious!! I’ll have to try that next year, or maybe do a belated April Fools’ Day prank.
