For an April Fools prank to work it has to have the ring of truth to it.

I used to work in a scientific research institute and two years running we got my boss big time on 1st April.

The first year we took all the plants from his office and sent him an official memo from the health and safety manager saying that they had been removed in case they cross contaminated with any experimental specimins. I heard the door slam and he stomped over to the lift. Next thing the phones started going mad because he had tried to hit the health and safetly guy who was oblivious to the whole thing.

The second year we had had a leak of chemicals into the air conditioning around the 29th of march. We removed ALL the furniture from my bosses office (the WHOLE lot) and replaced it with dolls house size furniture, I don't know where it all came from but it was office type furniture, and put an official notice on his door that the office had had to be fumigated to decontaminate it after the leak, but that there might be some shrinkage of the contents. OK, I was not popular again that year.....
