It's hard to get DH on a joke, but I managed one year. I taped down the switch on the kitchen sink sprayer. He turned on the water for a drink and got spritzed!

Me? I've been gotten so many times, I can't remember.

Pizza place????

I am so gullible---I "always" fall for the jokes! Everyone in my family looks to me to play their jokes on...you'd think I'd catch on, huh? I am blonde!!

Okay, I see two April Fool's jokes going on in two of the services of A Large US-Based Search Engine.

SOFT PRETZEL MONTH! I'm the king of making soft pretzels!!!

I've always done small stupid things for April fools, but I've never done an actual big prank that was a big deal - so things I've done don't really count. I'll have to plan for that one of these years.

I got my wife good today. I told her that our local police just called as they got a complaint that our dogs were barking nonstop for 3 hours. The police called me a few weeks ago as we forgot to shut our sliding glass door to our backyard and the dogs were running around outside barking while we were at work. They thought someone broke into our house and the dogs were scared - no, they were excited because they had the run of the inside AND outside of the house...

So, anyway. She called me from her cell phone because she had started to leave work to go home!! Looks like I'm sleeping with the dogs tonight.

LOL... But then again, it's still April 1st, so the "sleeping with the dogs tonight" bit might be her April Fools...

I have played minor tricks that I don't recall.

Best one on me was my DH in '06. He said he was going to get me a new car. Took me to a lot, test drove a few and everything. He then said April Fool's! Then he took me over to get the keys of the Jeep I had been drooling over for months - He had gotten it for me after all.

Double whammy!

I thought I had heard it all from Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon who host Pardon The Interruption on ESPN in the early afternoon.They pick a variety of sports subjects of the day and give that subject a two minute point/counterpoint (usually two minutes per subject). With the NCAA basketball tournament narrowed down to the final four, the lead-in topic centered around the Kansas-Davidson Univ. game, which Kansas won at the very end. Kornheiser: We start the program with breaking news! The NCAA has decided that the Davidson/Kansas game will have to be replayed as a major error has been discovered that one of the Kansas players was in the game even though he played the last few minutes of the game with five fouls and the scorers table made a mistake. So the two teams will have to fly back to San Antonio and play the last 16 seconds over again. Kornheiser and Wilbon are trading insults, pointing fingers, accusing each other of all sorts of nonsense. The clock in the back of them ticks down to 10 seconds, and all of a sudden both guys shut up, reach underneath the table and pull out party whistles, looks at the camera, and says Hey Folks! Guess what? None of this happened. Wanna know why? It's April Fools Day! April Fool!!!! HaHaHaHa. Ol' DOUBLE H got fleeced, conned set up, or as I fondly say, got whim whammed!

My next door neighbor is in his 80s and has a bumpersticker on his car which reads "Proud member of the vast right wing conspiracy". This morning, I did this to his lawn and left a note in his newspaper that said "April Fools!"
