You’ve been waiting all year to play a prank of epic proportions on your roommate, friend, coworker, boss or what have you. And that day, April Fool’s Day, is finally here. You have everything in order… except an actual plan.
Not to worry, your new How-To girl is here to assist.
Does your coworker or roommate have one of those nifty office chairs that lift up and down via a little lever? Grab some tape, either duct tape or packing, either works. You’ll also need an air horn. Tape the air horn to the bottom of the chair, and lift the chair as high as it will go. Next, simply wait for your victim to sit back down and watch them try and lower the chair, but instead find themselves flying out of their seat.
If that one has you rolling, you could send your friends flying out of the room with an air horn taped to the wall in the opportune location for the door handle to hit when opened. Your friends will be scared to touch any door for at least the rest of the day.
Do you have a friend who rather likes doughnuts? Grab a box of the cream filled ones from Wal-Mart, but request that the bakery leave the cream out. Next, insert mayonnaise and wait for your victim to dig in.
Now, if you are like me, the hardest part of the prank planning is acting oblivious to the fact that you know what is about to happen to some poor unsuspecting and most likely undeserving bystander.
Master that poker face. Act natural. Don’t make too much eye contact before hand; just looking at their innocent face is enough to put most over the edge.
Stay busy. For once focus on your homework or the season finale of the Walking Dead, whatever you have to do to keep your mind off of the impending hilarity.
If you keep that poker face intact, along with a cool and calm composure, your trick will be successful and you will get to enjoy with the utmost enthusiasm and stomach wrenching laughing that a successful April Fool’s prank is all about.
However, if you are more the type to laugh menacingly as you watch the world burn from your safe little spot of being in the know, I have the perfect prank for you.
Buy a bag each of M&M’s, Reece’s Pieces and Skittles. Open the bags and dump them all into a candy dish to let everyone else enjoy, because you are for once that nice person who brought candy for everyone. Until they grab a handful, toss it all in their mouth at once, and never trust candy again.
The key to April Fool’s is to master your poker face, keep it fun and laugh so hard it hurts as much as your friends’ wounded pride.
