Jokes

1.What's That in Your Apple?
For a fruity April Fool's practical joke, get a few gummy worms and carefully poke them into fresh fruit, particularly apples. Give mom or dad a wormy apple for lunch and leave a few apples on the table for friends and family members to snack on.

2.April Showers
If you have a sink with a sprayer, put a rubber band around the handle when nobody's looking. This automatically keeps the nozzle in spray-mode. Make sure the nozzle is pointing up and outward. The next person to use the sink will get a splash! Too funny!

3.One Sick Joke
Fill a hot water bottle with blended leftovers or even pea soup. Keep the bottle hidden under your shirt near your chest and make a trip to the cafeteria. Your friends need to be in on this prank. When the cafeteria is full, make a loud noise to attract attention, bend over the table and squeeze the bottle. Your sludge should spew out all over the table like you've just thrown up.

4.Look What I can Do!
Ask your victim, er.. friend to put a quarter on a piece of paper and, without removing their finger, trace the coin with a pencil. Repeat the "test" with a few fingers. After that's done, get the victim to pick up the quarter and roll it along the bridge of their nose. Then quietly snicker behind their back as they walk around with a black line along their nose. Don't use a permanent marker cuz that's not cool.

5.Harvard Lampoon:
Harvard Lampoon has poked fun at National Geographic, with a parody cover of a National Geographic Magazine which features Paris Hilton as part of a "wild animal" theme. The feature article: “Paris Hilton After Dark - Your Wildest Animal Fantasies.”

6.Baseball Player Traded:
One of the better early 2008 April Fools Jokes; watch as baseball pitcher Kyle Kendrick of the Philadelphia Phillies gets an early April Fools joke, as he is made to believe that he's being traded to a Japanese baseball team in exchange for a player named "Kobayashi Iwamura". People were in on the prank at all levels, from his fellow players to his agent and even the team's assistant general manager.

7.Hotel up for auction on Ebay:
Offers over £1 million were being invited for a hotel in Bridport, UK this week (w/e March 8, 2008). Haddon House was listed on the eBay auction website. It turned out however that it was only an early April Fools joke. The Hotel's management were reportedly not in the least amused and had it removed from Ebay's listings.

8.Ziff Davis Media Bankruptcy:
representatives for 1up.com, EGM and other Ziff Davis Media properties have proclaimed that their parent company’s recent Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing was just an April Fool’s Joke! Zachary Davis, grandson to legendary founder Bernard Davis said "As you know, our hilariously funny March-April Fool’s Joke was such a hit, we decided to top it ... with a, ya know, a Bankruptcy filing. You guys know we’re just kidding ... What’s funnier than Bankruptcy humor? It’s funny, see, like Lego Halo ... um ... Happy April Fool’s Day?"

9.Re-map the Keyboard of Your Excitable Co-worker
Every company has a sales rep who uses exclamation marks excessively ("C'mon guys!! We can do better this quarter!!!"). Use a program like KeyExtender, a registry hack that re-maps their keyboard so that exclamations and question marks are switched. They may begin to question their sunny outlook in life: "C'mon guys?? We can do better this quarter??? Guys??"

As they paw helplessly at their keyboards, sidle up and 'fix' their problem. Don’t forget to smile.

10.The Speech-to-Text Platform Joke
You'll need a wireless keyboard for this. Set up a meeting with a colleague to teach them a speech-recognition program (you'll need a plausible reason why the company needs this). Then, right before the meeting, connect your keyboard wirelessly to the victim's computer. Explain to the victim that the program will have to be trained to recognize their voice, and give them a sample sentence to try out. As they do this, have a co-worker a few desks away type gibberish into the program page ("Boomshakalaka!).

The poor guy will make a fool of himself talking louder and changing his pronunciation to try and make it work.
