Happy April Fool's Day

Tweet

Being that in my time zone, it is a bit more than 3 hours until April 1st. HAPPY NEW MONTH EVERYONE! Also, being that April 1st is April Fool's day, I figured this might be something to talk about. I'm sure we've all either pulled a prank on someone or maybe even someone pulled on on you. I've been known to pull some real doozies. & not necessarily on April Fool's Day. While several of us were outside smoking, a friend was so proud of his new Zippo lighter that he was offering to light everyone's cigarettes. Then he would put it into his rear pants pocket. We were all sitting at this picnic bench in which he also had a small open box, being that he was selling raffle tickets for a student organization. Our mutual friend pick-pocketed his lighter, hid it in his own pocket, pulled out a cigarette, & then asked him for a light. The friend quickly reached for the missing lighter, & was in a frenzy wondering, "Where's my lighter?" I finally lit my other friend's cigarette, & then suggested that when he wasn't looking, sneak the lighter into the box. He did just that. I finally stood up, peeked into the box, counting the few coins that were in the box, & then lastly, I said, "ANd a lighter!" The friend jumped up & looked into the box & found his lighter, leaving the mutual friend & myself laughing. Finally, it was time to head back in, so I asked him, "Do you still have your lighter?" "Yes, I do," he replied. "I probably just tossed it into the box without thinking." A few hours later, the three of us met in the cafeteria for lunch, & I asked him if he still had his lighter, & he replied with the same thing. Finally, our mutual friend admitted to swiping it on him. After I explained it all to him, for the next few weeks, the three of us could not meet without looking at each other & just spontaneously start laughing. At times, I have been known to THINK of one, but not pulling it for real because of cruelty &/or practicality factors. If the person I pull a joke on will also enjoy it, I would go for it, but if it would get him mad or upset, then it only remains as a thought that I might mention. So, what kinds of things have you pulled on someone. I hope that victim of the prank did get just as much of a laugh as everyone else.
