April Fool's Day

[roxie]

April Fool's Day is tomorrow, what, if any pranks to you have planned?

At work, we've been cooking up all week to get our boss since he's always the practical joker. I still have no idea what to do to him yet. Maybe it will come to me tomorrow....

I saw an interesting one...

Get a hold of his palm pilot and make several lunch appointments in the future with him and two people - someone he knows and someone that's made up. So he has to call the person he knows and ask, "Who the hell is _________, and why are we having lunch with him?"

 

[roxie]

LOL That is funny, he'd be freaking out
Last year we tied a blow up doll to the rear bumber of his truck, he never knew it was there until he had to go on a call (he's an EMT too) and then he had trouble getting it off so he could get the back board out. So this year we decided to leave his truck alone...

Then there's always the old, "Lock his telephone in a box on his desk and keep calling him," trick.

OH Shit!

School starts tomorrow and I teach.

HELP! I need suggestions! I have got to get my students good.

I am thinking, RETALIATORY STRIKE here. To hell with Mutual Assured Destruction.

Please! Suggestions! I had not thought of it.

Oh no... I have never seen April Fools Day at Literotica. Might just have to jump into the bottemless pit. You know how paranoid I get....

It doesn't work after about 2 years though, eventually they learn to pick locks.

Teacher to student prank...

Hand out a corrected quiz.

Think about the look on a kids face that received a "C" on a quiz he doesn't remember taking...

Sure it does. How else would he figure out that it wasn't his phone?

Ah... there are some lab results that I have not graded yet... good... good Keep them coming. This is good because it is not network related. Hmmmmm... now I am thinking of administrative shit I can do to fuck with them on the network.

(I am BAD!.... heheheh)

Start the lesson in the middle, referring to the earlier part that you didn't teach.

Teach the beginning of the lesson in a different language.

Hand out comic books as the reading assignment.

Switch classes with another teacher.

Set up a new login script that informs the user that their directory has been "frozen" pending the completion of the investigation.

Set up the login script to require the user to answer a question from "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" before proceeding.

Change the names of the directories, but keep referring to the old ones.

Evil.... I am in such a position of power here... I get to win.... heheheheh

And when all else fails, liquid styrafoam does wonders

Ok, so what's the wildest thing you ever did to someone on April fools day?


For me it was about 7 years ago, I was working at Dominoes Pizza and my boss (also a really good drinking buddy to the rest of us) just got a new jeep, and we took some pizza dough and put it in his glove box about 3 days before, and on April 1st, he was driving thru Detroit when his glove box exploded! It was hilarious, of course he eventually got us all back, but it was worth it

I'm telling on myself.....

This was a fun but not all that wild April Fools joke......In college, I put honey in my roommates shampoo.....LOL

What is sad is that there are so many pranks i could do tomorrow...You see i work in a hospital, but then i would get fired and lose my pretty salary.There is little you can do, i think i will change the Musak in the cafeteria to tenacious D and turn it up really loud. There are a couple of doctors i can screw with but i will have to see.

Hey riff... here are some more teaching ideas:

(I had this one done to me in English/but can be applied to any subject) First change your Assignment log or whatever you call it to have a paper due on Tuesday before school that is (blank)pages long...note only good if it is 10+ pages. Then show in the log you assigned it in november or earlier so it seems the class had forgot. When they ask you if it was a prank play along for the whole hour that it is really due and it is 1/3 their semester grade. In fact give them the hour to work on their "projects", no excuses(this really gets the brain thinking that it is real). then about the time to leave, after an hour of holding back the gut bursting laughter tell them that you also want a one page thesis on April fools day and how they just got pranked.....
This really screwed me up because it was my senior english class and i was on scholarship so i could of lost my way into med school. best works at the end of the day since students talk.


tell students that they are in the wrong period when they come into class.

start a lecture (keep all notes handy) about 3 minutes into it start all over from note one without notice. some people are too dense to notice that you are repeating yourself. only works once or twice.

Tell a student you expect to see their respective parent after school for a chat about grades. Works well on an A student who is paranoid about failing...



the best prank although corny that happened to me was when i was a junior in highschool and my 2 brothers were in school with me. Unforunately my dad was also the principal and we had an all school assembly on April Fools day. He started the usual BS announcements and then told the school he wanted to share some old photos of me and my brothers to the school. then started the slide projector. Made it look as if it didn't work then tried to tell the school an emabarssing story about the three of us. in the end there were a couple of blushing moments but he didn't show any naked baby pictures (pew). Like i said kinda bland but my dad is sooo serious so it really blew me away.

the next year we got him back by posting his head on some old woodstock poster of naked mud people then handed it out. It was worth the grounding.

I had a history teacher give us a *pop* quiz.....the instructions went like this:

Read through all of the questions, and do not answer them. When you are finished, fold your hands and sit quietly until everyone has finished.

Then there were 10 questions......all jokes like:

How many are in a baker's dozen?

Who's buried in Grant's tomb?

etc.....(they would need to pertain a little closer to your subject, I would think)

The last question was:

Stand up and count all the women/men/redheads (whatever you want here) in the room.

The teacher sat and mused himself as NO ONE read the instructions carefully enough.
