April fools

Well with tomorrow being 1st of April i wondered what others had seen as far as April fools Jokes go?

From memory last year, a radio station played a joke saying there was a whale stuck in the swan River which got quite a few going.

Remember one from a while ago on the Radio saying there were 100 Dolphins beached on City beach.
Hundreds of people flocked to the beach along with media screws from all TV stations... only to find 100 Dolphin torches lined on the beach. I found that one pretty funny.

When i was at high school we played a joke on one of our teaches and moved all the furniture out of one of the class rooms and placed it on the roof, setup the same way it was in the class room. He didnt find it overly funny.

Wondering what everyone else has seen or been involved with??? gotta be some great stories for sure!!

I like the school desk one Bodie (Kids, it was a stupid idea

and don't try it yourselves).
We did something similar when I was at school when we lifted the maths teacher's Mini and carried it into the main passageway to the maths department.

No the maths teacher was a 65 plus year old man we christened "Space Goat" You would not want to see him in a miniskirt.

I thought one of the better ones

Wed, 2010-03-31 13:45

was the front page article that they were selling rotto to the yanks to use as a naval base - that caught a LOT of people, myself included.

 

I'm thinking about leaving work this afternoon and saying "see you tomoorow", but actually go fishing and ring the old man and say April Fools. Not sure how it will go down to be honest.....

Auckland NZ 1960s

Wed, 2010-03-31 14:18

One of the radio stations alerted Aucklanders to remain indoors as a swarm of killers wasps were terrorising the city.  Caused some chaos as I recall.

As did another one when the radio station again told people to put their inorganic rubbish on the kerb for collection.  The rubbish just stayed there for months.

My old classroom had a front

Wed, 2010-03-31 16:07

My old classroom had a front and back door with chalkboards on both walls.  We turned the whole room around, all the desk, teachers table and the cupboard - should have seen the look of bewilderment on the teacher's face when she sailed into the class!

My wife used to play a prank

Wed, 2010-03-31 16:39

My wife used to play a prank on her assistant at work. 

She would screen capture an image of her assistants desktop then set that as the background and then move all the icons around..

and the other usuals unplug the handset on the phoneetc

 

but the best had to be taping pieces of string and paper under the desk just long enought to every now and then brush on her legs.  It drove the assistant crazy for two weeks be fore she figured that one out...

I remember one year Bazza

Fri, 2010-04-02 15:25

I remember one year Bazza and Martin on 6PR dumped a barge load of dry ice in the Swan River in front of the old brewery and said Haley's Comet had crashed in to river. Was pandemonium on the Narrows Bridge apparently as the water was bubbling and steaming away.

Cheers
Dale
