[Lightningquick]

[Fireyodm]

We get the new guys on the Fire Department by waiting till they are out of the station on a call. We get their car keys, put their window down in their car and spread some window glass saved up from a recent car wreck outside the window and on the inside floor. One guy actually left in the morning before we could tell him it was a joke. He took his car to a glass shop and the guy rolled up the window and called him a dumbass
Good times.
Or, a nice tie wrap to the driveshaft. Tap Tap Tap all the way home.

Car related: Called my brother and left him a voicemail saying that he left his drivers license at home.. and he's at school right now (Ohio State). Never checks his wallet.. so I wonder how he'll react.

the army thought this would be funny...
WASHINGTON, APRIL 1, 2011 -- In a fingertip-to-the-brim nod to its American frontier history, the Army is changing hats again - returning to the tumultuous days of the horse Cavalry in the wild west and adopting a dark blue Stetson as the official headgear for the current force of 1.1 million Soldiers.

"We figure the Stetson will be popular with the troops," said Sgt. Maj. Bob S. Stone, Army Uniform Board headgear task force president. "It's been a while since we have changed the headgear, so it's time. Plus a Stetson is functional and down right American."

But reminiscent of the controversial switch from the garrison cap to the black beret, the Army faces opposition from one community deeply opposed to losing its special identity with the Stetson - the Armor branch.

"Why in the heck are they doing to us what they did to the snake-eaters?" asked one officer familiar with the board's deliberations. "If you ain't Cav, you ain't ought to be wearing a Cav hat. That just ain't right."

But the sheer functionality of the wide-brimmed American-classic Stetson won over the majority of the board.

"You can keep the sun out of your eyes, the hat won't melt to your head on a sunny day, and female Soldiers can tuck long hair under a Stetson a lot easier than with the current beret," says Stone. "Plus we've already gone back to blue jackets for the service dress uniform. The Stetson actually completes the look."

The voting of the board fell along predicable lines, but was completed weeks ahead of schedule. In a surprise move representatives from Forts Bragg, Campbell and several undisclosed forward locations around the world pushed the vote for the Stetson to a head.

Representatives from various garrison activities and the Human Resources Command tried in vain to keep the beret, citing the cache it brings to wearers as well as practicality. According a dissenting member, "at least you can fold a beret and put it in your pocket. Where are you going to put your ten-gallon hat in your cubicle?"

The beret is not completely leaving the Army inventory, as communities who previously wore berets will return to or keep their traditional colors of maroon (airborne), black (Ranger) and green (Special Forces). Additionally Rangers will be allowed to keep the tan beret for use in desert climates. "We've at least earned that, for all grief we took in losing the black beret in the last go-round," said one unidentified tab-wearing board member.

Stone refused to address rumors that the Army Uniform Board will next consider adoption of a black western-style or 'cowboy' boot to replace the current inventory of black low quarters for wear with the Army Service Uniform. Sources expect that if the board moves toward boots, the Armor community will likely push for the return of cavalry-use-only jodhpurs and spurs, as a concession for having lost its prior if informal and exclusive right to wear a Stetson.

There will be some restrictions on wear. In a nod to other dress blue uniform traditions, general officer Stetsons will be black and must have a completely flat brim. All other wearers of dark blue Stetsons will be allowed any combination of opposing but matching curls of the side brims, up-to-twenty-degrees up or down. However no single-side flapping of any portion of the brim will be allowed.

The Army's official adoption date of the Stetson will be April Fool's Day, 2012.

Someone called a local hardware store here and asked for Anita Man

[heRS]

Called my husband on April Fools Day, told him cheerfully, "I'm on my way, I got into the el Camino finally so I'll be there in a few"
Him: Why couldn't you get in the El Camino?
Me: Oh well, you know how the passenger door sticks, but we got it open so I'm on my way.
Him: Why didn't you get in the drivers side?
Me: Ew well, Chris backed his horse trailer down the drivers side but he said he's got full coverage and he'll fix it, so it'll be ok..
Him: HE WHAT? <insert string of expletives here>
Me: April Fools!

I took a rubber band this morning and wrapped it around the button of the sprayer found on your kitchen sink. Needless to say my wife was mad when she went to wash the dishes. lol...

When I bought my Camaro in July, a few people were mad that I had traded in a car that I only had for a year. So this April Fools Day, I posted on FB that I was trading in my Camaro for a new Charger. I even put a pic of a Charger taken in front of a dealership. A few people initially freaked out that I was giving up the Camaro, and I'm sure a few others who didn't post were pissed that I was changing cars again. JOKES ON THEM!!!


Last year, in early March I pinched a nerve in my lower back, so I ended up with pain and weakness in my legs for a couple of weeks. It eventually got better, but when my mom texted me on April 1st, I texted back that I was dragging myself out to my car to go to the hospital because I couldn't feel my legs anymore.

I waited for her to respond, then realized I might have taken it a little to far and tried calling her to tell her 'APRIL FOOLS'. But she wouldn't answer... I kept calling and finally she answered, crying, saying she was talking to my dad and was purchasing a plane ticket to come help me.

Lesson Learned: Don't ever make jokes about your health...
