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.

The harmless pranks that you can do are:
1. The first one that you can do to get someone this year is to use the winning lotto ticket prank. This is probably one of the best pranks you can pull on someone. What you do is get a fake lotto ticket that, when scratched off, will show that it's a winning ticket of $25,000.
The person you give this to will think they've actually won. You will laugh so hard. It'll be very funny.
2. Another harmless April Fools day prank that you can pull on someone is the stinky gas spray. This trick is a little lethal...in smell that is. If you get the right gas spray, you will be able to clear out an entire room. Or if you really want to get revenge on someone, you can spray it on their clothes.
3. The third harmless prank that you can pull this year on April Fools day is to give away prank candy. There are a lot of candy that makes someone's breath smell like fart, garlic, and fish. This is a great joke that you can play on someone.

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.
