Avoid Being an April Fool on april fools day

April Fools Day, April 1, is a day of lightheartedness, foolishness, and frivolity. It's also one of my favorite days of the year. Probably millions of harmless practical jokes are played on this day, and some of them may be directed at you. How do you avoid being tricked, or at least over tricked?

First of all, remember that it is April 1st, and take everything with a grain of salt. Expect silly things to happen and just go with the flow of it. Do not trust much of anything, including emails, phone calls, coworkers, and family.

Also remember the festivities really last more than a day. Some magazines I read always have a fake article, something truly absurd usually backed up by made up scientific research, in each April's issue. This may show up in late March or early April, not always on April first itself.

Be aware of jokes but don't be paranoid. Having someone pull a silly stunt on you doesn't make you a fool if you are having fun with it. Expect the unexpected and enjoy.

You might also consider some of your own April Fools stunts. There are plenty of silly things you can do that are fun and lighthearted, but be careful. For example a fake resignation letter at work might result in your losing your job, even if you put someone else's name on it. Make sure that whoever you are pulling jokes on will take them in the right spirit or at least in stride.

I'm not sure if I'll be an April Fool but I'll be foolish! See some of my other articles at Harley Davidson Watches or http://harleydavidsonwatches.net. I write on both silly and serious topics, but try to find some humor in everything.

April Fools Day A Few Favorite Pranks

April Fools day Pranks - 12 Hilarious Classics Everyone Will Love

Below I have listed, in my opinion, 12 of the best April Fools jokes / pranks. I hope you enjoy:
1) Oops ... Sorry About The Dent on Your Car: Leave a note on your victim's car that says how sorry you are about hitting their car. Then, leave a phony name and your own phone number so you can swap insurance information. Ideally, you want to hide near by to watch their reaction as they search frantically looking for the dent on their car, that isn't really there!
2) Toilet Mess: Take some plastic wrap and cover the toilet bowl. The next visitor to the bathroom will certainly be in for a fun and messy surprise!
3) Wake Up: While your victim is asleep, set their alarm clock two hours early; or just reset their clock ahead so they wake up unexpectedly and think that they are late.
4) I Only Need One: While the victim is asleep or not looking, grab all of their socks or underwear and take a needle and thread and run a small string through each pair so they are all hooked together.
5) Where Are My Clothes: While your victim is showering, sneak into the bathroom and steal their clothes and towel.
6) Surprise - You Are Wet: Take a rubber band and wrap it around the push button of the spray nozzle of a tap (the ones at the kitchen sink with a hose). Make sure it is pointing to where someone would stand, and watch and laugh as the next person gets drenched.
7) Please Just Let Me Out: At night, remove and switch the door knobs of the bathroom or a bedroom of your victim (it only works with door knobs that lock). Then, when the victim goes in to the bathroom or bedroom, lock them in.
8) Oh My: This needs to be a group prank and gang-up on one person. Do this with family, friends, or co-workers at the office. Get newspaper, or aluminum foil, or plastic wrap (or all of them) and wrap everything in the victim's room or office.
9) Having Car Troubles: Sneak into your victim's car and have fun adjusting everything: turn the radio up full blast, have the wipers on high, move the seats up, put the floor mats on the seats, turn heat or AC on full blast, turn hazards on, etc.
10) TV Madness: Get the extra remote to the TV and when your victim is watching that game or favorite program, hide out or go outside and continually adjust the volume or change the channels. Just don't laugh as you watch them get frustrated with the remote and the TV.
11) Graffiti on the Car: Get some plastic wrap and cover the hood or doors of your victims car. Then, get some spray paint and have some fun drawing on their car. Make sure you hide out near by so you can watch their reaction.
12) You Just Ate Dog Poo: Make some brownies and shape one or two into what a dog terd would normally look like. Then, hide it in the yard where you know where it is. Then, go out and play or just 'happen' to notice the terd, and pick it up. Then, say: 'what will you give me if I eat this dog terd.' Then, eat it and collect your prize.
Have Fun!

Bad Jokes For April Fools Day

This kind of joke is harmful to a person's mental state because each of us has his/her own "picture of reality". The information, which is in conflict with our "picture", enforces us to make certain efforts to change that "picture". This process is quite unpleasant, especially when a very important part of the "picture" needs to be changed. So, that is why jokes may be very harmful, even if done with best intentions.
At that, it doesn't matter how "good" or "bad" the first "message" (or "impact") is. Here is an example:
1st message: - Hello Mary! Did you know your husband died?
2nd message: - Relax it is just an April 1st joke.
If Mary loves her husband, then the first message is a shock for her. Even the second message cannot compensate her stress. If Mary hates her husband, then the first message may even cause her to be delighted. But the second message immediately "turns off" her delight. Regardless the April 1st joke provokes a person to feel strong emotions which are later taken away from them.
