April 1st is known as April Fool’s Day or “All Fool’s Day” throughout the Western world.  It’s a day of playing pranks and harmless jokes on some of your nearest and dearest family and friends.

It’s best to play the prank early in the day because once your “prey” is reminded of it being April 1st they don’t usually fall for it so easily.  Pranks can be from a mild form of “your shoe is untied” to a little more mean spirited prank of “running late for work only to find your car had been towed.”  That is not the way you want to start your morning (especially when your friends really did have your car towed).  

The old school pranks are always the best! 

The infamous whoopie cushion always gets a huge laugh especially in an improper setting such as a library, a church pew or a board meeting with your esteemed colleagues.  Speaking of work, put a ”while you were out” message on your co-workers desk that a ”Mr. Lyon” called and wants to be called back.  Then list the phone number of the local zoo. 

Just remember, April 1 is April Fool’s Day; it falls on a Thursday this year.  Mark it in your calendar.  That way you’ll be the one giving the prank and not the one receiving it!
