    The first good idea is to make sure your SO enjoys being the recipient
    of a practical joke. Those of us who don't are liable to become
    ex-SO's. (Or is that the purpose of the exercise? :-))

    RE: 487.1
    
    I'm looking for ideas for April Fool Jokes and will hopefully sort
    out the potential "Relationship Breakeruppers" from the 
    "Ahhh....I Gotcha" ones.
    
    Not looking to breakup my relationship with my girlfriend, ;-(, but I
    am willing to use some ingenious strategies to let her know my
    somewhat devious sense of humor on April Fools Day where these 
    kind of things are somewhat legal.

487.3how to really fool someoneVIDEO::OSMANtype video::user$7:[osman]eric.vt240Mon Mar 28 1988 20:4218
    One of my favorites is thanks to Martin Gardner or Douglas Hoftstadter,
    I forget which one.
    
    What you do is you announce to your SO in the morning of Apr. 1:
    
    		In honor of April Fool's Day, I will fool you today
    		like you've never been fooled before !
    
    
    And of course they wait all day guardedly to see what you'll actually
    do.
    
    
    A bit after midnight, they realize how've you fooled them...
    
    Think about it.

    A joke once played on me: 
    
    I got this box that long stem roses come in.  I was so excited.
    Of course the card was inside the box.  When I opened it up there
    was a bunch of decrepid, half dead, mostly brown flowers inside
    - The card said "APRIL FOOLS".  Then he quickly handed me a box
    of fresh roses.......

    The joke I played on Bob last year was precious! (well at least
    in my mind it was :-)...)...
    
    Now, Bob lives all by himself in Hudson, so after the sun had went
    down, and I knew he would be in bed for the evening, I called him,
    and said: "Honey, have you seen outside???... it has been snowing
    for the last hour and a half, and there is close to a foot of snow
    outside"... now I knew he would get up and look out his bedroom
    window (which he couldn't see cuz no light outside), so I said,
    "Go look outside your front door with the outside light on"...
    
    Now I can hear him get up, walk to the front door, and open it,
    meanwhile, I can't stop giggling.....  When he got back, it wouldn't
    be appropriate it write what he said to me :-):-):-):-), after all
    this is a *family* file :-)
    
    But we *both* still giggle about it even today :-)

    Tell a friend of how pretty, and good looking he/she is today and then
    break the news.....April foooools!!!
                                                  
                usually gets the gang rolling.

    One year I tied the handle down on the sprayer you have at your
    kitchen sink with one of those bread twisties.  And voila when you
    went to make the  coffee you got an instant shower.  (You have to
    angle it just right to get it in the face, but it works).

487.8"did you know that..."SQM::AITELEvery little breeze....Wed Mar 30 1988 15:5815
    the trouble with -.1 is that, considering how awake I am in the
    morning, I'd probably forget I'd done it and give *myself* a
    shower!  But it sounds like a fun idea.
    
    One of the best ones I did was - well, see, at this company I used
    to work for there was this receptionist.  She and I were friendly
    acquaintances.  April fools day came along.  I passed by the front
    desk and noticed that she was wearing some very wide hoop gold
    earrings.  I went up to the desk and asked her if she realized she
    was missing one earring.  Look of shock - hands shot to her ears
    -  then I broke the news....April Fools!!!  She "didn't forgive"
    me all day - but giggled a lot about it anyhow.

    These are some that a friend told me about.  She has a very devious,
    crazy sense of humor.
    
    She put saran wrap all around the bedroom door.  Her cousin walked
    right into it.
    
    She put saran wrap on the toilet.  Interesting `feed-back' when
    used.
    
    She turned all the electric components on in her cousin's car. 
    When car was turned on everything starting working instantly.
    
    She put saran wrap on the faucet.
    
    She tied all the tea bags together.
    
    She tied all the laces on the shoes and sneakers together.
    
    She was a very busy girl....  I always go to her for info.

    I didn't do this to my SO but to a guy I used to work with
    who was always playing little tricks on me:
    
    Ed was late coming back from lunch and had a very important
    meeting at 1:00, so I knew he would be rushing in anytime now.  
    (B.T.W. Attending this meeting were his boss and 2 V.P.'s!!)
    He had left his glasses on his desk and I knew he would need 
    them for this meeting.  So before he came back, I put a little 
    white paper reinforcment in the middle of each of the lenses 
    of his glasses.  
    
    Just as I thought, he rushed into the office, grabbed his folder
    and his glasses went into the conference room where he immediately
    sat down and put on his glasses.  Well, I could hear the roar 
    coming from the room.  The door swung open and one of the V.P.'s
    (nice guy) came in and thanked me for the ice breaker.  
    
    How'd he know it was me?
