A few years back all eight workshop staff rang in sick one at a time from a mobile just round the corner from work. Each answer from the manager sounded more desperate until he almost begged the last person to come in even if only for a couple of hours. Called us all something quite rude as we all arrived together five minutes before the start of day.

You know your voicemail thing on your phone that says "leave message after the tone", change that to you saying "Hello?", and listen to them later saying "Hello? Hello? Are you there?"

Piss in your mates house when drunk and blame it on your girlfriends cat.
It works all year round!

This drives me insane A mates got it on his, but when you're out and have had a few shandys and can't hear properly because of music etc it does my head in

LMFAO!!

Hiding a fish has always been one of my favourites. And usually makes it onto the yearly PH 'what April fools joke?' threads...

Down seam of curtain, inside vehicle, behind the cook books, inside DVD case, in guttering above porch/conservatory etc.

Like I said, A few shandys and loud music don't help

Adding vinegar to unguarded beverages is good for a laugh. Adding a lot of tabasco to cans of juice is also good(not good for open drinks as it leaves an oily film).

Not really, since you don't immediately end the message after the your initial "hello", you keep the phone line open until the recording time for your answerphone greeting runs out.. An answerphone message can be as long as 30 secs, that's a lot of time to have the caller say "Hello?! Are you there?" before the beep comes in.

Hold an election? Seriously - do grown ups really do April fool jokes on other grown ups?

Hide a fish behind my curtains and I'd be roaring with laughter. Splitting my sides. Hilarious. No, really clever.

[simplygod]

Yes.

So that doesn't work

[Cock Womble]

Here's one. I do this every year and it works without fail.

Pretend, for a laugh, that April the first is like any other day and don't do anything different.

Gets them every time.

Actually, that is not a bad one!
