who got 'april fooled' today?

[Troy711]

i did!

i was at work and had to use the portaloo. my workmate decided it would be a laugh to belt the side with a shovel and make a loud noise to scare the crap out of me (no pun intended). what he didnt realise is that right where he hit the side there was a can of glen 20 which flew through the air and hit me.

i now have a 20mm cut on my eyebrow and some slight swelling

the best part is i am laughing at it cos it was funny as!

Forgot all about it today, disappointed in myself!

[LeojVS]

We have a guy from South Africa who started with us about 2.5 years ago, fresh import. This guy and his wife purchased a house in the Blue Mountains about 6 months ago.
This guy thinks his house is haunted. He has never seen a possum, but I know he has them running across his roof, as I get them too, and he described the noise just right. So I said I have no idea what the noise is. "sounds spooky man" He is too scared to go into his backyard at night, as it is really creepy. Having a flowing creek in his yard adds to that too. He swears black and blue he sees people and hears them in his house too.

Enter me. With the assistance of 2 other guys at work, we set this sucker up good, but it has been mistimed slightly.
Heres what happened.

We did a google search on "body in a suitcase". An article from 2001 came up. We edited it to make it from an Australian newspapers 'Internet archives', dropped the dated back by 20 years, and changed locations to represent the suburb he lives in, and altered the story a little.
After all that, it said a suitcase was found in a house in XX suburb with a torso inside, body parts found in shallow water on the property, and also by a landmark near his house. "Police raided the XX street house on a hot summers day after the neighbours complained of a bad smell from the property" (that was actuall in the article)
Now, we had a guy come up to our section for a chat, so we got him involved in it. He started saying to us how he is doing a little study on the suburb in question. Bryan (the guy we set up) pipes up with "bro, do a search on my area. I think my house is haunted" We all lauged at him, and the guy that came up said sure, no worries. Ill be up tomorrow.

We gave this guy the article after we printed it out (s**t it looked real) and we all went home. THe next day he came in with the article, told him he did a fair bit of looking and came up with this. He handed over the article.

Poor bugger filled his pants!
Oh, we also wrote the guy is up for parole in early 2008. We whispered in Bryans ear "hope he dont come home to collect any trophies"

Now, this all happened over a week ago. Since then, he has rung the BMCC, asking about murders in the area. They palmed him off, giving him no info at all. Then he rang the cops, and again, they wouldnt (couldnt) help him. (I rang the cops and explained and apologised for him wasting their time. They really liked the joke, and thought it was quite imaginative. )

He was rather upset by this, and was telling me that the real estate agent should have told him something happened in the area. I said the law here in Australia is, if it happened over 20 years ago, it never happened.

Now, we were going to tell him today it was all a set up, and produce the real article, but, his wife kinda gave birth today, so he wast at work.

Oh well, he can sweat on it a bit longer! (we did tell him not to tell his wife, being preggers and all, might be a bit much, and he said hell will freeze over before he ever tells her)


So, thats out little joke. over a week in advance, 3 guys involved, and he was away on April fools day. Bugger!

that's gold haha. gj gj

Even you Nathan!!!!

I'm sorry, i worked a 4:30am shift yesterday, and, not being the morning person i aint, i fell asleep after work (which was 5pm) and didn't wake up until 5:30am THIS morning, making me late for work. So you could say, i fooled you all y not fooling you...or something!


Will save it for next year, but i think it will be plainly obviously to anyone thats read last years one. No-one will take me seriously again haha

[coolvxss]

I started my electrical apprenticeship today and was expecting to cop something but it never happened haha

[Torquative]

problem with us at work is we're all pranksters throughout the year, so we dont have to wait til April 1st, and acctually after a big few weeks that involved everything from an entire computer system being replaced by cardboard monitor/mouse/keyboard etc, our entire "front counter" customer area being cleaned out of all computers, chairs, desks etc as retribution, to several mobile phones being changed to Korean and Spanish languages and even phone lines being switched around, we kinda didnt need today to do anything

There was one though, I believe it to be an April Fools joke anyway. I wake up with WSFM on in the bedroom because its the only station that doesnt go statticy through the night (I hate waking up to static radio). I heard an Ad done by traffic copter man Vic Lorusso about a new scheme the RTA is bringing out that means motorists have to put their rego numbers on the roof. He does an ad at the moment on the TV for the new Rail Line the government has announced, so it was a very radio version of that.

Having just woken up it sounded real although I was aware of the date. In the news they made mention of it at 6:30am due to 1 in 4 cars rego plates supposidly being not picked up by speed cameras (which is total BS anyway, they spent too much time proving otherwise to us)

But then on the way to work flicking channels and having woken up I realised some things ... Vic isnt on WSFM, he's the Edge 961. WSFM's traffic man is Alf Paraniki. Ok, but it was an ad, maybe thats why ...

Well then no other station was playing it Oh and no other station had it in their news either. Plus the background noise was of cars beeping their horn, not the usual helicopter blade swish swish swish they use when a traffic man does an ad.

Finally I realised WSFM only made mention of it during one of their news bulletins, I had listened to 3 during the morning, so 2 of the 3 they didnt mention it!

I was wise to the fact its April Fools day, it sounded good and so realistic, especially when youve just woken up, but apart from that my day was fairly quiet

They announced here that our shire and the one up the road would merge. It comes up as a serious thing every few years and always upsets the same group of do gooders. This time they said it had happened and detailed it. Lots of angry phonecalls to local council.

Pretty boring here....

Told hubby my best mates waters broke at our house and I wouldn't make it home to clean it up as she was in premature labour bub to be born any second and her hubby wouldn't make it in time, and after that I had to go get her daughter and drive her to her Nana's in Albany (400kms away) so he would have to clean it up, pick the boys up from school and bath, dinner etc etc.

Then my dad got me and my sister saying he was selling his Caravan and moving back to Vic to buy another truck I was sad but said yeah ok, my sister went off her nut at him lol he let her stew on it all day before he told her he was joking.
