Curses - Foiled again!

Made me laugh though! How many of you are researching practical jokes to play on your fellow cubicle-dwellers tomorrow?

*raises hand*

This year I'm going with a classic:

Since I don't work outside the house, I figure I will need to cause some mischief around the house. A longtime favorite of mine, since it causes so much yelling and swearing, is the rubberband-on-the-dish-scrubber-trigger. When people get up to go to work at 5am, and go to use the sink, it never fails to soak them to the bone. And the great part is, it is usually after they have already dressed for work, so it's a double whammy. I know it isn't original (though I was pretty proud when I thought of it on my own back in '85), but it gets funnier each year, since nobody seems to learn their lesson.

Now I am contemplating smaller things to do to the kids (ages 4 and 7), since I don't want to scar them for life. Well, not much, at least...

Switching the letters on the keyboard is always good. Lots of people can't type without looking down.

I do remember using industrial-strength shrink-wrap to encase the bossman's desk for April Fools many years ago. It was a huge desk with hutch, and we encased it from the floor up. When we were done, we filled it completely with styrofoam packing peanuts and sprinkled in itching powder a bit too liberally. It was a long time before we were forgiven...

Alright, folks - who is going to be the first to post a pic today? Please tell me they are more than just a gift box with an IOU for cake...

I would LOVE to post a pic for you, Magister, but Lake Superior is down at the moment... Not an April Fools joke that I am enjoying, I must say... grrrrr

Stupid blessed items...la

ladykolleen · 01-04-2008, 08:45 AM

So as of right now it is just a silly 'card' I guess - not too much fun

Arioch · 01-04-2008, 08:49 AM
