Ok, so now that TM's joke has been enjoyed by (almost) all of us, lets hear the best April Fools that you've even been involved in (on either side).

This year I moved far away from most everyone I know, so last night I sent everyone an email saying I had converted to Scientology! I said I sold all my horns to pay for classes and rides in John Travolta's airplane. Not exactly believable, but fun to write the story anyway.

Last year a freind and I decorated out trumpet teacher's office in Denver Broncos colors (because he's a Chiefs fan) complete with streamers balloons.

He responded by calling me and saying that the streamers had gotten wet and ruined his expensive rug (an obvious fabrication) so I left him a message later and told him that carpet cleaners would be at his office before his first student the next day. The best part was making him believe that I believed I ruined his rug.

TM's China syndrome was better than mine though, I enjoyed every moment of it. I'm just sad that I didn't see the "New" version, I didn't look soon enough I guess. And I loved MrClean's "All you base are belong to us" video!

Jason.

(Wait, this means I can't win the "gold" trumpet! Man...my poem was awesome...)

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.....
