In 1994 when I was in high school, we changed a transfer number at the front office phone. When they transferred to the principal's office, it instead went to a dirty 1-900 number. Took them two days to figure it out. :-)

It's fun / funny alright! But where did it come from??? Some suggest it was referred to in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392). Yeah, Geoff refers to April - but more in regards to end of winter / start of spring.
Now, here's one theory (borrowed from "The History of April Fools' Day" by Melody Everdeen)
A Tale as Old as Time
The most widely accepted theory behind the origin of the popular day for foolish pranks revolves around the switch from the Julian calendar to Pope Gregory XIII’s Gregorian calendar in 1582. Previously, the New Year had been a week-long celebration that took place from March 25 to April 1. Under the new calendar however, New Year’s Day was moved to January 1. The reform of the calendar took place in France under the rule of Charles IX. Since communication moved slowly in that day and age, news of the reform to the new calendar took years to travel. Those who did not receive the news for several years, in addition to those who refused to accept the new calendar, continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1. Over time, these individuals were labeled as being backward and were teased for their foolish belief that the New Year began on April 1. This teasing eventually gave way to traditional April Fools’ Day pranks and joviality.
So.... Happy New Year!
Replace your friends aftershave with pepper sauce so when after he shaves his face is on fire.
I'm gonna invite some friends to my place tomorrow and play 2 pranks on them.
1. Fill a cup with water, cover it on top and quickly flip it upside down on the counter. I'm gonna ask someone to get me a cup of water during get-together. They'll lift the pre-filled upside down cup and water would spill all over them.
2. (this one is kinda gross) I'm gonna go into the washroom, which is right next to the living room. I've already prepared a few bottles of water under the sink. Once I go in, I will pour the two bottles of water one by one down the toilet so it sounds like I have a never ending amount of pee
I spent some time once moving my friends cars around the parking lot, when they came out and couldnt remember where they parked.
Not classic, just in it for the gems, ya know.
Last year I took all the electronics out of my apartment and left the door ajar making my roommate think we were robbed, but i left his iPod by the door with a set of clues of how to find his stuff
plastic wrap on the toilet is always good for a laugh
Setting a persons browser home page to a FBI warning screen so that's the first thing they see when opening a browser is a quick fix.
I said to my whole family that our basement is flooding
I'm not playing this game any more! April fool!
Find a small picture, a wall calendar, or similar item that can be hung up. Take a nail and use wire cutters to cut off the nail head, then glue the nail head to the item you're going to hang. Now glue a magnet to the back of the item. Take the item to the kitchen, along with a hammer. Stick the item to the refrigerator with the magnet, then start making a loud banging sound with the hammer. Hopefully, your victim will come to investigate the noise, and "catch" you nailing a picture to the refrigerator.
i called my friend who just recently got out of prison and asked where he was, he replied with i am at home why, then i said well the cops just left here and are heading to your house looking for you. of course he had been drinking so all i hear is him running out his door and across his yard. after a few minutes of listening to this i said jimmy, jimmy, APRIL FOOLS!!! of course we was ticked but it made my wife and i laugh hysterically!!!
Freeze some mentos inside a ice cube and wait for a person to use it in some pop.

Wht hppened to the "A" key on your keybord? Ws it tken in n elborte pril Fool's Prnk?
My favorite April Fool's joke that I've ever pulled was what I call the fiesta del fiesta. We put the Ford Fiesta of our baseball coach in the bed of a friends 2 ton dualie pickup truck. The Ford Fiesta was light enough that it only took 10 of us to lift it up there. The coach made me run laps for the entire practice because he knew that I was responsible.
the chicken died.......hahahahahaha
when i was a wee lad, i snuck into my parents' bathroom & pulled the classic 'plastic wrap over the toilet bowl' prank. my dad thought it was hilarious, but my mom...well she was pissed. :P
I'm big on the classics, like rubber-banding the valve on the sink sprayer open, drenching the first person to use it. But, remember that you did it--I usually end up soaking myself.
This prank can be accomplished almost anywhere that has a modern sink. All you need is a rubber band in order to pull off this not so dirty deed. With the water faucet turned off, place the rubber band around the spray nozzle (the one with the hose) that sits next to the faucet and in particular make sure the rubber band is around the handle that turns the nozzle on. Now point the nozzle towards yourself.
When the next person comes up to the sink and turns on the water they get soaked by your trap.
What you'll need:
A funnel
A penny
A glass of ice cold water
A victim
First, stick the little end of the funnel into your pants. Next, pretend you're playing a really fun game of trying to drop a penny off your chin and catching it in the funnel. Your victim will of course want to play. So you stick the little end of the funnel into your victim's pants. When your victim leans back to put the penny on his/her chin......you pour the water into the funnel.
You Have Won the Lottery !!
The day after the lottery, I purchased a lottery ticket with the winning numbers from last night. 5 out of 6, still worth 1/2 million dollars. When a friend came over, I asked him to check the lottery numbers. He checked the numbers in the paper, didn't say a word, then left hurriedly. It was 2 days before I heard from him, boy he was MAD !! For a full day, he thought he had the winning ticket. I stopped him cold when I said "You mean MY lottery ticket ? "
put baby powder in the end of the wife/girlfriends blowdrier, classic :)
What did the fish say when it swam into the Wall...!!!!?????? DAME! You know a water dame
Unscrew a persons desk / office chair and watch as it falls apart when they sit down.
Did this a few times when I went to school and also a table during study hall so when the person placed their school bag on it the table top fell down and they spent the time placing it back together.
poke a small hole in both ends of an egg, blow the contents out leaving just the empty shell. Then randomly toss it to people as they enter the room.
we tried to make nice with our rival fraternity. we sent them boxes of doughnuts one morning. we watched and waved as they enjoyed our peace offering.
as they left the next morning, all they found was a small stake in the ground with a picture taped to it - all of us with our pants down and doughnuts on our junk.
Twins!
We decided to pull a prank on my Grandma! My Sister was due to have a Baby yesterday, she had it today, so As we Rushed out of our Farm Driveway, my Grandma saw us. So, because we were going very fast, she called to see what the matter was, we said that my Sister was having Twins! So, my Grandma snuck over to my sisters house to surprise her and her husband with a gift for twins! (we predicted that would happen) So, we played along when we all got back, while my sister was still in the hospital with her SINGLE baby girl, but she later found out when she went to go see my sister in the hospital that there were no twins, she was so dumbstruck! haha, it was hilarious how she reacted!
Put Ketchup and Mayo packets under the knobs that touch the toilet seat to the bowl. When someone sits down pop!

The best Joke I ever pulled, my wife is a neat freak and after cleaning the kitchen she went upstairs to shower meanwhile I poured flour on top of all the cabinet doors in the kitchen and waited for her to open the doors and watched her reaction and glared at me hehe
When your friend is not using their computer, take a screen shot of their desk top and then change this to be their wall paper. then move all the Icons to a hidden directory and watch what happens when they keep clicking on the wall paper images.
Put black paint on a telescope or whatever someone can put his eyes to look and wait for them to put it on or to look through and wait for the laughing to start
I photoshopped a sonogram picture and put my girlfriends name as the patient to give to her parents and mine.
Wake brother trick
On April fools, if you have a little sibling, wake up really early. Wake your parents up and tell them about this trick. Put on your school uniform, turn the clock to about 7:00, and close the blinds. Tell your little sibling to wake up and tell him/her to go downstairs to eat breakfast. Make breakfast and tell your sibling to get a jacket and go out to wait for the bus even if its going to be hot outside. He/she'll be out for a couple hours.
