The End

1st of April

It's April fools!!!!!!!

Its that day everybody has been waiting all year for!!!! And you cant wait for all your friends to fall for your pranks....but...what are my pranks?
Yes, I've been waiting for April fools day all year, and I don't know what to use as a prank.
Oh! I know, I'll tell everyone I'm pregnant!!!!
No, that ones outdated..
Ummm...I can put Vaseline on door handles!
...but that's not exciting enough.
Oh, I know, I'll look for some pranks on Google:

Snot Trick
Take a little sauerkraut and stuff the end of it up your nose so it hangs down over your mouth. Put your hands over your nose and mouth and fake a sneeze in front of someone. Then pull your hands down and if you can stand it, start eating the sauerkraut. You can also use a raw oyster in your hand with a fake sneeze.

Don't Look in the Medicine Cabinet Prank

I saw a statistic somewhere that about thirty percent of the population snoops through medicine cabinets. When you have a party, put a “Please Do Not Touch” sign on the medicine cabinet (This just makes them want to look for sure).

Rig up a small box full of marbles. Cut one side of the box so that you are able to close the cabinet but when the cabinet is opened the marbles all start rolling out of the box onto the counter top when the cabinet is opened - It makes a heck of a racket. Also works with golfballs.

Just Use a piece of Cardboard. Hold it up to the open medicine cabinet and fill with golfballs. close the cabinet and then slip the cardboard out and finish closing the cabinet. This one is easy and works every time.

You've got Funny Underwear

Take a really large pair of underwear (old lady or man style) and write the victim's name in them and leave them in the bathroom floor for every one to find.

Loud TV Prank

Many new TVs have an option on them that lets you set a time for them to turn on. Simply go to the menu and set it for about 2:37 AM. Before you go to bed turn the volume up to max and shut off.

Alarm Clocks from Hell Prank

Get lots of cheap alarm clocks (from garage sales or second hand stores). Set them to go off at 3:00 am and every 20 minutes thereafter. Hide them well.

Change the Clocks Prank

It's usually not a good idea to make people late but it is totally fine to make them early or at least wake them up early. This trick works best when you change every clock, including the car and their watch. If they confront you tell them there was a power surge.

Talking Trash
Pretend to talk about whoever could possibly hear you while you are pretending to be asleep.

Butt Face Prank
Take a picture of your butt and tape onto someone's driver's license and they won't notice until they pull it out for the next speeding ticket.

Confused Target Prank
Leave a note after you have lets say toilet papered somebody's house and put the wrong name on it - Like, "Ha ha Steve this is payback for sleeping with my sister." This is a great April Fools’ Prank.

Nice Poster
If your roommate has posters of scantily clad women up, blow up a picture of their mother's face and tape it over the face on the poster. Very disturbing for the victim.

Sebastien said a funny one, stick sleeping pills in someone's coffee. HAH!
Or, you could go do some door to door Christmas caroling today....who knows, you might even get a tip!
Alright enough of these...I just wanted to help you out in your pranking!
