I returned from TDY one year on April 1st to find my office as pictured. They wrapped the American Flag sticking out of the wall and even took the time to wrap every coin in my change pouch. I was so angry, but all I could do was laugh.

I enjoyed the companies who played April Fools Jokes. Google.com with their Hoffness pictures, NetFlix did the roasting turkey. I enjoy the fun in this stuff as long as its not harmful or disrespectful.

Funny you should mention that. One time I posted what I thought was a really funny prank on this website called RallyPoint and then an admin merged it with a real discussion...Oh the irony.

Well, Redbox already got me with their "Petbox" announcement, until I saw the movie suggestions that accompanied it : "Furry [Fury]" "Gone Squirrel [Gone Girl]" etc.

As a matter of fact, my charming daughter got me with the "rubber band over the dish sprayer" stunt this a.m. Thankfully I'm teleworking today and was only wearing jeans instead of a suit.

While I was stationed at Fort Gordon, Ga last year for training, the army guys and marines were always pulling pranks on each other. My favorite was, early one morning we flipped everything in the marine smoke pit upside down, tables, benches, trash cans, the whole lot. The next morning, we woke up on a Saturday, and our smoke pit was nowhere to be found. We located it later that morning, moved about a half mile away, on the far side of the PT field. Set up stone for stone exactly as it was on our grounds. What made it even funnier, was that we had cadre from a different unit on duty that day, and he kept yelling at us when we tried moving it back "that is NOT where your smoke pit is supposed to be!!"

Well the best prank was pulled on me on my April Fools birthday. Yes, I've seen most of them but pranks that go wrong can be EPIC.

I was stationed on Adak and needed surgery. So it happened on my birthday. I was helped up later in the day by a nurse friend of mine. In those days you could smoke in hospitals. He helped me on with my bath robe, steered me out to the passageway and told me to take a couple laps around the ward. Just as I was gimping off, Rick brought me over to the wall and sprayed End Dust on my bathrobe and told me since I was so slow, might as well dust the walls. Rick got to laughing and flipped a cigarette ash my way. That's when we learned End Dust was flammable and I went up like a torch. Then the sprinkler above me started hosing me down. Then everyone and the fire department gathered around. Rick just said I needed to be put on suicide watch. Crap, another routine birthday.
