April Fool's

Post by Naga »

Here we are on April Fool's Day, 2009. I've got an awesome one in progress, and many have already fallen hook, line, and sinker. I'll tell it later though, I want it to finish. So what's your best April Fool's story of the past?

3 years ago, I had scheduled a fishing trip in Erie and was out of the office. My asst. who was new at the time would be taking his first crack at running a 32 person sales floor. The day before, I met with about 6 reps who had worked there for years to come to him with "Problems". The best was my top performer, going into the office and flipping shit because payroll "fucked up" her paycheck. She was actually tapping him on the chest with her check as she was complaining/threatening to quit. Just as he was stuttering and on the verge of tears, she said..."April Fools, Brian made me do it." haha!

This is my favorite holiday, It costs me nothing and no family crap, plus PRANKS!!!! I'll tell you more good ones later on!

I entertained the notion of starting my class this evening by pulling out a stack of papers and telling them it was a surprise test. But since I just put them through the horror of making them watch a tape of an Altoona City Council meeting on Monday (they had to write an article about it for an assignment), I didn't want to give them further reason to want to lynch me...

Videos destroyed the vitality of rock and roll. Before that, music said, "Listen to me." Now it says, "Look at me."

Just finished the touches on my big joke. I haven't done any good ones in a few years, so this year, I decided to yuck it up

Unbeknownst to the world, I still have a few pictures of when I was a teenager, before my hair grew. So, the other day, I threw one such picture up on Myspace. It's still there for anyone who has my Myspace. However, I pulled the curtain up after getting home. April Fool's! Oh, the comments... Heh :twisted:

Basically, I've lived in Altoona with ONLY long hair, so next to noone has ever seen me without it up here. The possibility of me cutting my hair was enough to freak several of my best friends out!

...Ok, dull humor for a dull mind, you can go back to other Rockpage articles now... :lol:

This year...the daughter called me and told me she is pregnant according to a test. She is 19 and in college. Fell for that....
Then the son called and told me he got in a big fight with his boss, broke a mirror in the workplace with his fist and got fired...fell for it...
I planted a rubber mouse in my house this morning for the daughter to see, so far only the cat saw it and was fooled, when I left the house this morning she was carrying it around in her mouth! Hoping the daughter sees it sometime today, she will FREAK, she deserves it the little brat...
The best one I ever did: My ex-husband used to collect stacks and stacks of TV guides. He said they would "be worth money some day". I had a friend he didn't know call him...'hey I work with your wife at the hospital and she said you have a lot of TV guides...I happen to be a collector. Could she bring them into work so I can take a better look at them? Depending on what they look like I might be willing to give you $500.00 for them'. He was good, asked lots of questions about stains, torn covers, etc. When I got home the husband was carrying them down from the attic with his leg in a cast even. He said " I TOLD YOU THEY WOULD BE WORTH MONEY" I felt so bad about his leg, I had to spill the beans.

What was on the iPod? Maybe that's the gift... most of us would appreciate an iPod loaded with music we like, it's thoughtful. BTW, whatever the case, she is reported to have loved it, and breeched protocol for possibly the first time in her reign, by putting her arm around Michelle Obama. The Queen was amused. :lol:

I hear ya John.I'm bettin she wasn't that amused though.It IS the queen and she probably has one.It just seems like their gifts to other heads of state are tacky and not well thought out.I mean 25 DVDs and CDs to England's PM?Oh that's right that fuck should be happy cause they did GIVE BACK the bronze bust of Winston Churchill that used to adorn the oval office.Classy. :lol:

Did you hear about what was on the ipod? HIS FRIGGIN SPEACHES!!!!!!!!

Does the Messiah actually think that everything he says is a potential gospel of the bible for his worship?

The self importance this guy gives himself is beyond sociopathic.

Actually it was loaded with a bunch of the Queen's favorite show tunes. Kind of a neat gift...showed that they knew something personal about the Queen. I personally would have found a charity that the Queen supports and donated money in her name. But that's me. She's the Queen...what else could she really want or need?

Can you believe we care what kind of gift one person gave another person?

If that shit ain't for me, fuck you. Anyone wanting to get me an ipod is more than welcome. Put whatever you want on it. I can reload it, technology is amazing.

Could you imagine having to get a queen a gift?

I have trouble picking out a christmas gift for my Mom.

I'd be like "Here's a hundred thousand dollar gift card for the Olive Garden". hahahaha!
