I was listening to Radio One - Chris Moyles show this morning. They pretended to set up an agreement with some petrol stations to give half price petrol between 8-10am.

They said if you ring in and speak to Aled (one of the producers) and tell him where you are, he will tell you where the closest station is, who are in on the deal. It was even called 'April Fuel day' - people still fell for it!

They then broadcast some of the calls;

Caller - Hi, Im phoning about the half price petrol deal

Aled - Hi there, please tell us your name, and where you're from

Caller - My name is xxx and I live in xxxxx

Aled - Ok thank you, can you tell me what day it is please

Caller - er.....Wednesday

Aled - and anything else?

Caller - ah, you got me there!

Some of them didn't even catch on, they were still asking about the half price deal!!! :D

Oh jeez. Last year I had some trouble with my Garden gnomes. My wife loves those things. But someone kept stealing her rabbits. So I put some new ones out but this time I wired them to a 220 outlet. April 1st comes around and I'm sitting in my office. Suddenly the breaker trips. I look out the window and there's this teenage kid sitting on the lawn totally stunned.

First of all, given that today is my birthday, I never fall for April Fool's jokes. Never.

Having said that, there are several woman whom I know who are due with babies any day. One of them is my wife's sister-in-law. She is due in a few weeks, but has been put on bed rest because she went into premature labor last week. This morning, my wife's brother, the eternal prankster, called at 6:30am to say that he had news. The baby was here, he said, and he even gave convincing details (weight, length, etc.). Of course, we jumped up, got ready, and headed for the hospital. Mind, it's a three hour drive.

Fortunately, he called back a half hour later to 'fess up. Got us on that one.

I can't wait until next year. He won't know what hit him! :twisted:

Two of the best I have been involved in - one: turing a guy's desk around but placing everything back in the right spot so you can't tell until you sit down and bang your knees. Second: shrink wrapping an entire desk and contents on top.

Happy April Fool's.

Ohh...to all the noobs (which would include myself as far as this site goes) - I have found the "perfect" "1:1" submariner.....................

Ok
When I was a partolmena and I had a Lieutenant that was new in my command but he was a bit of a know it all, wise ass.
Me and my partner were the seasoned vets of the squad witha whopping 4 years on patrol (In NYC -harlem 4 years is like 20 any where else)

We had to respond to a "foul odor " call in an apartment building. Usually that means "dead guy" in some apartment that started to ripen.

So me and my partner get there, ...yep hes dead, 2 weeks dead or so. We do the search and what not and we just knew our jobs but this Lt. knew better. he started to break our balls about who we notified and what not. in a joking but ball breaking way in front of his female partner (his driver) . He sat on the dead guys couch eating the jordan almonds in the candy dish (the dead guy) while he broke our balls and we waited for the morgue to pick up the body.

He ate the whole friggin bowl sitting ther while we made our calls and busted our chops. Finally he had enought, he left and left us to wait for the morgue truck.

The next day we decided to play a game, we got a hold of a detective to play along and call the desk he was working the next day and say that the mand died of an apparent poisining , possibly from a nut that was laced with arsenic. This guy made it sounds legit. me and my partner were right in the room when this guy called and he told the Lt that the arsenic is deadly if you consume them in mass quantity or sparingly over time.

The dude turned white......I mean white as a ghost. He started to ask qustions about the almonds and he put 2 and 2 together and really started to feel it.

It got so bad he approached us and said to hold on to the paperwork, hoimicide will need it and he went in the back and got dressed in his civilian attire, we presume to drive himself to the Dr. or hospital.

Well as he made his way to his car we decided to let him off the hook. Boy was he relieved, and pissed but he never f*&^%d with us again.


April fools jo to you all.

My favourite Radio station announced every hour in the news today that the German Goverment will come up with a law that APRIL FOOLS are not allowed anymore and if people do not follow, they can get a penelty up to 1000 Euro.

This was breaking news for 6 hours this morning and not only on one Radio station.

They justified it that APRIL FOOLS could create a lot of damage.

Was a nice joke and for the first 2 h I believed it :D

what'd yr wife say, fakey? was she pleased or displeased w/ you?
women tend to be so concerned over electrocuting kids that they somehow overlook the humor in the situ...
