    We did the same thing. However, we would mix all sort of things into the garbage can. Coffee grounds, condiments, anything we could pull from the common kitchen.

    that would just suck to get that dumped on you I think.
    We did it once with soda because the showers were out of order. got a bunch of the cheap 2 litter bottle. Man that was a sticky mess.

    Yesterday, our in-house "green" energy conservation consultant (pain in the ****) called me and said that he was coming downstairs to see me about a project. My office mate and I opened our 3 windows and turned the AC on to high (it was 65 and sunny outside). This guy and I had a conversation until he noticed the open windows/AC and flipped out. We said that we always did this for "fresh, cool air" - we really had him going until the APRIL FOOLS shout out. Not bad for spur of the moment.

    My favorite takes a bit of money and prep, but it's so amusing to watch. Get a bunch of the wind up type alarm clocks with the bells on top. (7 or 8 is good) set them to go off 3-5 minutes apart, and hide them randomly around a medium to large sized library. Grab a book, have a seat, and watch the chaos ensue!

    Egads, I hadn't thought of that... I just love watching the librarians hunting for the obnoxious ringing sounds, and right as they find it, another goes off on the other side of the building.

    So I found this thread, some of you old geezers are still here! And, I had a good laugh! :smile:

    ...treitz3 claiming all his $h!t was stolen...

    RIP, Gary. Yeah, that one didn't fly over too well. Won't try that again. That was an perfect example of good intentions gone bad for an April fool's joke. Even had a partner in crime helping me out on that one too. DOH!

    I think my favorite AF joke on this forum was by Jesse when he came on and pronounced that he had had enough. That he was gonna sell all his gear and get out of the hobby. Not realizing that it was April Fools, I fell for it and was flabbergasted.

    Bastage!

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    My favorite was the left handed whopper that Burger King advertised in the USA today in 1998.

    So, I had to look this one up! Very funny! :smile:
