Pixelicious: April Fools

April Fools

Thursday March 31, 2005 - Permanent link to this post -

I won't be doing an April Fools Day trick, joke or version of my site. It's not because I don't like the idea and don't think that fake error messages can be funny, but I can't think of anything that might be remotely effective. I'm just waiting for my RSS reader to fill up with standards based jokes.

But baring in mind that nobody in my office reads this website, who can recommend me a work-based practical joke to play? If you need any guidlines, I work in a fairly large company where the directors are there to be feared, so nothing that's going to upset too many people. Also, although I have access to the corporate intranet and websites, I'm the only one who does, so defacing them would land me in big trouble with the big guys. Oh, and we're in the midst of an office move, so swapping furniture/hardware about wouldn't be that effective.

So what jokes do you have planned, and what can you recommend for me?

I recommend lots of Irish beer. But I’d do that anyway, regardless of april 1st.

You do know that April 1st is April Fools Day, not St. Patrick’s Day, don’t you, Hayo?

As tasty and full of iron as it is, I don’t think many people in my office find Guinness very funny.

Pranks, people! And before midday, otherwise the fool’s on me!

The cruelest joke is me going on holiday for three weeks.

hah.

One you could try is setting all the clocks 1 hour early.

I’m not that inspired right now, you can probably tell.
