Anyone done any good ones? I'm hungover and can't think of any good ones. Used to do great ones when I was at school. My mate rang my Mum up and said she was from Kelloggs and we had won a family holiday to Florida, my mum was so excited and rang the school and got me taken out of class to tell me. Felt a bit bad, but it was funny!
Anyone spotted any on the news? I saw something on teletext saying teaching about the holocaust was going to be banned in case it offended Muslim pupils, SURELY that is an April Fool? A crap one too!

That's unbelievable.
Although maybe the 10 yr old was continually bullying the other one. In which case, a good scaring will do him some good . I think most 10 yr olds use gay as a normal not so vulgar offensive term, like twat. I reckon if I found out my kids had been receiving emails like that off someone I wouldn't be too happy, but probably wouldn't call the police. Tell them to delete the emails and ignore them. Then if it got worse or carried on speak to the parents!
A friend of ours has just got back from his Marine Biology placement in the Seychelles where he was studying some rare form of crab. When he got back he had loads of essays to write for his portfolio and so got various people (my other half included) to proof-read them before he had to hand 'em in for the Friday deadline.
This morning he rang up our mate and asked him if he'd looked over the essays again before submitting them. He said that he hadn't looked at them in detail and then my boyfriend went on to "confess" that they'd all got together and decided to change "crabs" to "craps" using the replace function in Word so all his essays were about the "rare craps of the Seychelles". He went APESHIT
Gay means happy according to the dictionary...
1. having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music.
2. bright or showy: gay colors; gay ornaments.
3. given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season.
i got one, and very intentionally left it in my sisters' bathroom bin during one of my mums' cleaning sessions - knowing that my mum would find it and go mental (my younger 16 yo sister is the only one who really uses that toilet so i knew my mum would think it was her)
my mum then proceeded to barge into my sisters' room and demanded to know why my sister hadnt told her, taken precaution etc etc - while i innocently hid next door and laughed my arse off.
eventually i had to go in and admit it was a joke because my sister was getting quite upset :rolleyes: im not in her good books at the moment
...but funny too I guess.
My only successful prank I remember was a few years ago, my mum was driving me home from school, and wanted to get a newspaper on the way. We stopped next to one of these stores that sell them, and I just asked the guy manning it what time it was (my mum could see me but not hear me).
Then I went back and told her they'd ran out, so we went to another one where I did the same. I did that 3-4 times before telling her the truth.
Another one was at school, for some reason that I forgot we had a computer class in the teachers' office instead of the computer classroom. Me and 2 other guys sitting at a computer pretended to have found a file with students' grades and read them aloud. The teacher came running!
I think it's because the Pagan new year starts on April the 1st, so the Church decided that anybody who was a Pagan, and thereby celebrated welcomed in the New Year on April the 1st were all "April Fools"
Unless you heard it on April Fools day and didn't realise
