April Fools

My brother loves to pull pranks on people. One April Fools day, near Bend Oregon, he had a big thick section of hose in his car. He came to a dirt road and inspiration hit him. He pulled the hose to the road and dragged it across the road twice.. He made curvy 's' shapes. He sat in the car and when another car slammed on its brakes, he just pointed and gasped, "two of them. So big." Soon, people in other cars stopped and stared. Someone told their kids to stay in the car. A person with a suit and name tag came and took photos. No one remembered what day it was. Do you pull pranks on April 1st? Can you share it with us? Or share one you saw or heard about.

When someone remembered it was April Fool, would he have stopped being mad as he or she were only the victim of April Fool?

No one was hurt. They might have laughed about it later. The snakes weren't real.

I poured some of the soda out, and put lime juice in my dad’s Diet Mountain Dew about 12 years ago. He gave a big splutter into the air, and then a grimace came upon his face. He thought it was hilarious.

Pranks do get old after a while.

Of course not. Pranks can go wrong. I don't recall any.

Yeah, they can. I'm glad that his prank did not hurt anyone. Did you do silly stuff when you were younger?

I have not been here for days, maybe a week or two. I will need to read about the village prank you witnessed.

@akalinus The tags include 'practical jokes' and April Fools Day if that helps.

As a 63 year old male, the days of playing pranks on other people I do not attempt since a prank can be considered offensive today.

There is always someone offended by something. It makes it difficult to enjoy life and let loose a little.

@Deepizzaguy, Yes, they do. Then they rename a team that had the name for 50 years or more.

@akalinus You are right that people get offended over almost anything like the team nickname of sports franchises.
