219.1SURPRISE!MCIS2::MORANWed Mar 30 1988 13:5010
 This isn't for my SO, but it's going on right now.  A friend of mine
    is telling every one to be at his place for a party on friday. 
    But no one is going to be there they are all agreeing to be there
    but friday every one will be at someone else's for the same party.
    When he calls to see if he can find out where everyone is he will
    be consoled for no one showing up and invited over for a quiet evening.
    
    Then....APRIL FOOLS!!!
    
    I hope it doesn't cost him much......

    Better than doing a joke ..... since many people I know will be
    EXPECTING me to do something .. I won't  do any joke ... it'll drive
    them crazy wondering what I am doing (which is nothing .. no joke
    ...)    
219.4The BEST April Fool's joke!!!!!CASV05::SALOISFatal Attraction is holding me fastFri Apr 01 1988 16:0656
    OK! Now it's time to 'fess up!  I just had the best April Fool's
    joke played on me!
    
    My girlfriend and I are both divorced.  She would like to marry
    again someday, I am, to put it mildly, a bit reluctant.  Anyway,
    we have discussed marriage at length, and still maintain the same
    viewpoints.  Most of the time, marriage is a topic I manage to
    neatly brush aside each time it comes up.
    
    This morning, she stuck a card in my briefcase without me knowing.
    I got to work, settled in, and opened my briefcase.  I saw the card
    with my name, and wondered why she had given me one.  I mean my
    birthday's not until September.  
    
    I opened the card, and on the front in great lacy flowing letters
    was this;
    
    
    			LET'S GET MARRIED!
    
    My heart went up in my throat, I broke out in a cold sweat, my hands
    were shaking and my knees were knocking!  Never before, had she
    been so blunt, so forward, in making her desires known!  I was in
    a near state of panic.  What was I to do?  Visions of matrimonial
    vestiges capered madly in my mind.  I looked around my cubicle,
    wondering if I could turn it into a refuge, a place of hiding, from
    that message that had been indelibly burned into my brain.  Thoughts
    of the Samaritans hotline filled my mind, as I trembled.  With
    trembling hands, I cautiously opened the card, expecting to see
    some sickeningly sweet prose, compelling me to comply and again
    commit myself to marriage again!  I opened the card and inside,
    in the same graceful, lacy, flowing script, was written;
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    			SCARED YOU, DIDN'T I?
    
    			    APRIL FOOLS!!
    
    
    Well it's a few hours later, and I'm still laughing.  She really
    put one over on me.  I've got to give her credit, she knew right
    where to strike.
    
    So come on, everyone else!  'Fess up!  Did you get fooled?

219.5I've got my shield up now...SAHQ::CARLSONColour the WindFri Apr 01 1988 16:1812
    re.4  hahahahahahhahahaha!  good one!  
    	  I'll try and remember that one next year, if we're not 
          married yet.
    
    
    I got my SO this morning, *early*, by telling him I'm pregnant.
    He fell for it, hook, line and sinker.  (cruel jest)
    
    Our local radio station has been giving incorrect times this morning.
    I imagine that upset a few folks, thinking they were late!
    
    theresa.
219.6SOME PRANKSHAPES::ORMEATHE JUICE MAN FROM DEL MONTEMon Jun 26 1989 13:5224
    A year ago I was at college, and decided to get my so. I was in
    one of the tutors offices and saw some headed notepaper, so I pinched
    a few sheets and went to find a typewriter.
    
    The letter I wrote said that due to courses being oversubscribed,
    and there being a lack of funds, the number of students on certain
    courses had to be reduced, and unfortunately hers was one of them.
    I said that all the students had been assessed on their attendance,
    grades, and enthusiasum for the course. As a result she would not
    be allowed to complete her course, but that she should go to see
    a careers tuor imediately.
    
    On April fools morning I woke up and gave her a plain brown envelope,
    saying that it was pinned up on the notice board the previous day.
    ( This was how all notices/letters were given out). She opened the
    letter and began to read, she said OH NO a couple of times, and
    then her bottom lip began to tremble, and a tear started to fall
    down her cheek, then she really started crying. Then I shouted APRIL
    FOOL!
    
    Then I got the hardest wack in the mush that I think any man has
    ever received. Served me right I suppose

219.7YAAAAACH!!!!!!MTADMS::SCROSun Feb 18 1990 09:0612
    Some friends of mine are die-hard coffee drinkers, especially upon
    waking in the morning.  They have an automatic drip coffee maker
    with a timer to start the coffee in the morning. 
    Now, before proceeding, you have to know that the wife in this story
    is a REAL MONSTER in the morning without her coffee.  And, yes,
    she will admit to this.
    So, on this particular April Fool's Day, she awakened to a fresh
    brewed pot of coffee.  What she did'nt know was that her husband
    had filled the filter full of coffee with salt also.  Lots of it!!
    Ruined her entire morning and took him most of the day to make up!
