Artex had a good one for someone's computer screen last year. Let me see if I can find it...

Here it is!
Here's a great trick to play on co-workers. I hope I can describe it okay:

1. When a coworker is away, got to his/her computer and minimize everything on the desktop.

2. Press the "Print Screen" button on the upper-right of the keyboard.

3. Go to the Microsoft Paint program (Start Menu, Programs, Accessories, then select Paint).

4. Click Edit, then Paste. You should now see the image of your coworkers desktop.

5. Click File, then select "Set As Background (centered)".

6. Close out of Microsoft Paint, and move the "real" icons to the very, very, very bottom corner of the screen so they're out of view.

7. Watch your coworker come back and become frustrated to oblivion as he/she is clicking on icons that aren't icons!"

put a rubber band around the kitchen sink sprayer trigger thingy so that when anyone turns on the water it automatically sprays them. Dang, I hope Birch doesn't read this!

That is why I always lock my screen when I plan to be away from my computer...

Good one, Sass. Tucker (son) has done that to me a time or two. It's revenge time!!!

Anyone that doesn't lock their computer when they step away from their desk deserves a prank like that.

The only thing is, where I work now, I'm the only one likely to play a prank like that. Everyone here is very serious and straight.

I hate April Fool's Day jokes, so I don't participate.

Heres one of my favrites
1. Call your mark at work or home when you know he's not there.

2. When you ask for your mark and he's not there the recetionist or his wife will ask to take a message.

3. Say "Yes thank you. This is Dectective Bales (put your own name here) with the Jacksonville police department. We're investgating a doulbe murder (insert your favrite heinous crime here). We need to talke to Mr. Smith (your marks name here) as soon as possble. He can reach us at (insert some phone number here)".

This is alsogood for people who are rude to you.

I had forgotten it was April Fools. I have a funny one for a roommate or someone you have easy access to their stuff. Turn everything backwards or upside down. Put the sheets under the mattress on the bed, turn all the wall hangings backwards, put the TV upside down, etc. Warning: do NOT pull this on a control freak, as they will probably kill you.

A couple years ago Seattle had an earthquake which damaged a lot of chimneys in West Seattle. I made up a phoney government notice and taped it to my landlord's door. The "notice" advised that every homeowner had to submit photographic evidence to the county that their chimney was not damaged. He fell for it. He still didn't catch on because he couldn't figure out where to send it.
