The best ones are the ones people hope to be true. Consequently, they are also the cruelest.
I used to put a notice on the fax machine that says: This fax device now supports “VoiceCommand(tm)” technology; place your original in the feed tray and speak clearly saying: “Send fax.”
I actually caught someone with it.
Car and Driver pulled the April Fools’ joke, now all you see is this:

Nearly got fired for leaving a message on my manager’s desk from Mr. L. Ephunt with the phone number to our local zoo! She actually made me pay twenty-five cents for the phone call!
I’m hoping the Electoral College publishes an “April Fools” comment in all the papers.
You should check out the Gmail Autopilot feature Google has up. Pretty funny.
Well-I had a baby on April 1st, 1994.
Does that count
Said baby thinks he should get a cool set of wheels to go with his learner’s permit-along with a date with a hot teenage model.
Me thinks reality is really going to bite him today.
Heh.
My cousin’s FB page said that he had suffered a beating by four gang members with chains, and was on his way to the ER. I fell for it.

Get him a Hot Wheels and a Barbie Doll
After 3 weeks of transportation issues with two cars and a motorcycle having to have work of some sort – (good prologue) – I told my wife that some clown slammed into the back of my car at lunch today – went on and on about how I was getting blamed for backing into him, got cited, thousands in damage to both cars which our insurance was going to have to cover… on and on.
Then finally sent her a ‘photo’ of the damage I allegedly took on my cellphone – only to unveil a little giggling child saying “April Fools” –
Definitely had her going for a good 20 minutes…
I had a good laugh today. I was passing a car with a bumber sticker saying: January 20th, Bush is gone!
The driver, looking much like Madcow, was smoking like a banchee. Hope she enjoys paying 3 dollars a pack in taxes. LOL!!!!
Our Captain got on the 1MC and told us that we had been extended on patrol for 2 weeks. He had the radiomen make up fake messages from ComSubPac and everything. We were almost out of food and toilet paper (for real!). The crew started hoarding toilet paper. I sold two packs of Marlboro for ten bucks (1978 dollars).
Right, and the joke’s on us, unfortunately.
Several years ago, I dropped a set of orders in my supervisor’s and manager’s in-boxes advising me that, since I was under age 55 in accordance with whatever the actual Army Regulation is/was, I was being recalled to active duty for an indeterminate period of time. I was puzzled by the lack of reaction until I found out that a big farewell party was being planned for me.
Luckily, I was able to pull the plug on the joke before I ended up on the street.

I’m guessing you must be still at work. The clue is, you’re still able to type.
Hi Michelle… I have cracked your username and password and will be posting from time to time on your site… Tx for the audience…Don’t worry… I am conservative too and won’t use any cuss words…

Toes here from Alaska…

btw, Don’t bother changing them… My program is able to penetrate any firewall or virus protection that is currently available…
My son put a fifty cent CD in my car stereo and cranked the volume to max. When I started the car, my brain exploded. Payback will be h@ll though.
A dandy from an aviation news site I read.
Airbus in Discussion With DoD To Provide An A380 To Fly As New ‘Pelosi One’
I’m waiting for my 6yr old son to get home so I can tell him I went to the dr. today and they said the earlier ultrasound was wrong and he’s really getting another sister…LOL
I know, I’m a bad mommy.
Once, my best friend sent me an email, with something innocuous like “Check out the pics of the Buck I shot” or something like that. When you clicked on the attachment, it opened a program that turns your computer’s volume all the way up, then disables the volume controls and plays an audio clip saying “HEY EVERYBODY! I’M LOOKING AT GAY PORN IN HERE!”
I opened this email on during work, at the firm I had started working at only a few weeks previous.
I had no idea what to do. Igonre it, and hope no one heard? Sheepishly shout into the hall that it was all a joke?
I chose to run off to lunch for the next hour and never ever mention it.
*No one in the MSM is reporting this, but Rachel Maddow and Peyton Manning are twins; It is still unknown who has the bigger package.
You got me, Michelle. I was going to tune in!
Saw it from a mile away. Sorry Michelle!
This morning I sent out a code of quality error e-mail to one of the supervisors, letting her know one of her people scored zero on the audit.
She panicked until she was reading how preposterous it would be for this person to do the things, then she looked at the ID on the mail.
NFCAPR1L
All the auditors found it funny.
Well, if it helps, that particular joke became rather well known. I was never a victim, but I can recall several colleagues falling to it.
Not funny Toes. Or maybe you are THE APRIL FOOL and were serious with your threat. Either way, you’re a moron and I hope you walk in front of a bus today.
Five years ago on April One I married the most beautiful woman I had ever met. If it was an April Fool’s joke, it has been the most long-lasting and best one I have ever been the “victim” of. She has been through my side through thick and through thin and I truly do thank God (Yeah, I said the big G word) every day for that blessing.
As for actual jokes, I would say this administration but unfortunately, I do not think they are joking either.
I had a program similar to that in that it was computer based. It was a small program a friend had created that said it was going to help your computer run faster (Back when CDs were still new technology on computers and a 4x CD was state of the art)
It then informed you that if you did not click on the Cancel button, it was going to delete every file on your hard drive. The cancel button kept moving and was incredibly difficult to catch while the window scrolled through a list all of the “deleted” files. (That it really did list from the host or victim’s computer) It ended with a note saying that no files had actually been deleted but you should be a bit more careful about what files you opened up … even if you did know the sender. Being a techie, that was pretty cool.
Hot wheels and a Barbie? Classic!
Thank goodness I actually WAS looking at gay porn at the time, or I really would have had egg on my face.
*In keeping with Hillary Clinton’s dropping of the word “terrorist” , new HHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius will be dropping the word “cancer”, to be replaced by “cell challenged”; No word on improved outcomes through this change.
*P-BO has just announced that the new Federal Underwriter’s Bureau of Automotive Repair(FUBAR) will have to be overseen by a National Fubar Governance Czar(NFG Czar), and that he will assume that role.
It’s not about the results though, it is all about how it makes you feeeeeeeeeeel! It is all about intentions … which also takes you down another road but I’m not going there
Sounds like a job for Wonder Boy! Turbo Tim to the rescue.
BRILLIANT Michelle! I was taken completely by surprise when I saw the headline..I thought “WHAT? Followed by..surely NOT..followed by…WHAT???” until I clicked for the story..good one!
I have fallen for about 4 of these now today in person and online..I need to just surrender and laugh!
I lifted it from some other blog, but an article that said Obama orders Chrysler, GM, and Ford out of NASCAR by the end of this season, or no more bail out money.
Sent it to my hard core NASCAR fans and my phone rang off the hook for a few hours.
I titled the message “Date”, meaning today’s date but no one caught that.
Real NASCAR fans for ya!
I “rickrolled” some friends this morning. Does that count?
Not mine.
One of the local morning radio hosts, Mark “Daddy Wags” Wagner (WLVQ-FM) announced he was “retiring” and was to be replaced by radio legend Gary Burbank. Burbank would be “leaving” Florida behind to take over Daddy Wags’ gig. They acknowledged the prank about 9 AM.
This was the same radio station that last year had Columbus, OH Mayor Michael Coleman on announcing he as to become Obama’s running mate.
Other April Fool’s Day pranks included the very same Daddy Wags faking a heart attack, Daddy Wags and his partner Jerry bouncing around the local radio dial, and perhaps the most difficult one to figure out, the apparent format switch to Spanish language and music.
In the end, they have provided good laughs on April Fool’s Day.
Im never gonna give you up
A few years back they had a radio station report that the owners of the Golden Gate Bridge were running out of money to restore the bridge so they were going to sell space on the towers for (I think it was Coke) to put a billboard of their product up (the size of one of the towers) to cover the costs for the up keep.
Im going off of memory here..but people were calling up that radio station outraged and going crazy on the phone!!!!
It was pretty funny.
I set my facebook status to say I changed my voter registration to Democrat. HA!
Though it wasn’t on April Fool’s Day, it’s still funny. While working as an orderly at the company (Army), I had a young private come in and tell me they lost their ID card. Hey, it happens. So I look through my desk, like I am searching for something, pretend I can’t find it, then tell the young private to go ask the First Sergeant for an “ID one-oh T” form. The burst of laughter from Top’s office, and the red face of the PVT when she came out after asking for an “ID10T” form, was simply priceless.
Who’s Rachel Maddow?
I checked the news to see that Mr. and Mrs. Obama gave the queen an ipod (she already has one). This guy is not just presidentially inept, he is socially inept. I would hope today a state of the union address is given with BHO looking in the camera and shouting, April Fool’s, I’m not really your prez. That would be so nice. Maybe BHO should have given the queen a $50.00 gift Visa card with the advisal, now don’t spend that all in one place…Hehehe. I AM ASHAMED OF MY COUNTRY.
oops, you have a thread for that. Sorry.
How did your friend know when you would be looking at gay porn?
I told some people at work that Roger Cohen had written an oped in the NY Times calling for Hamas to cease firing rockets into southern Israel and for Hamas to stop engaging in terrorism. Alas, this was so far fetched that only one coworker fell for it.
If MM was guest-hosting Rachel Maddow, the ratings would double.
As some of you may know I work for a major bank and last year I had my entire team of 10 people call in on Monday, March 31. My manager’s manger was in on it. You should have seen him!!!! He was in a desperate panic, running around collecting everyone’s loans, etc….He was calling cell phones to see if anyone could come in, when we called her about 9 because we felt bad for him, her reply was let him sweat. When she got to work she told him to go print everyones report while she occupied all the conference rooms on that side of the building with fake meetings. When she brought him in the conference room where we had a breakfast potluck his response was “YOU’RE ALL HERE!” —–HAHAHAHA
