Saddam's son (may be burn in hell), kept doing something pretty funny for April Fool's Day back when he was in power. The Iraqi newspaper run by Uday (son of Saddam) Hussein, announced to the beleaguered people of Iraq on April 1 that meat and chicken rations would be substantially increased this year — then took it back on the last page. Rationing has been in effect in Iraq since U.N. sanctions were imposed following the invasion of Kuwait in 1990. He wasn't very creative after that though. He continued to play the same joke on them for several years running, which I find hilarious. In 1999 they were promised bananas, soft drinks and chocolate. In 1998 they were told that at President Clinton's behest, U.N. sanctions were to be lifted altogether.

A few years ago the local paper printed an article saying that our town was getting the newest Planet Hollywood restaurant. It was so convincing that most people believed it even thought the paper made it clear that it was a joke.

not yet...I'd love to hear a really original one. But, I always prefer one that makes people just really laugh (and not embarrass/humiliate anyone...).

"Google's home page provided a link to "Virgle," a faux collaboration on an "open-source" Mars expedition between the prank-friendly dot-com and Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic. "Earth has issues, and it's time humanity got started on a Plan B," the site explained. "So, starting in 2014, Virgin founder Richard Branson and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will be leading hundreds of users on one of the grandest adventures in human history: Project Virgle, the first permanent human colony on Mars.""

This is not an April Fools Joke, but it's close enough. When I was in High School we had a test coming up that everyone was dreading. We did not want to take it. On the day of the test, the teacher said, "I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you're not taking the test today." We all got excited, shouted and slapped each other because of the good news. Then the teacher said, "The bad news is...I'm just kidding."

My favorite was in 1988. Radio station KRTH in Los Angeles, which was then and still is an Oldies station, suddenly changed its format at 6:00 am on April 1. The new format was All-News. Only, it wasn't the news that you would normally hear on the radio. It was news about firemen rescuing cats from trees, a bus driver actually signalled before making a left turn, and other "happy news." I remember looking at the Los Angeles Times that day and most of the stories I heard were actually listed in the paper. At 12 noon, an announcer said, "Guess what. The last six hours were a big joke. April Fools!"

I prank and have fun all year. April 1st is one day that I don't do anything. But my friends and I prank each other all the time, but it is always fun and never mean.

I pulled a few and sort of regret it.. I guess I can have a mean sense of humor on that day told an ex boyfried I was pregnant when I said April Fools he thought it was hilarious BUT I told a guy I'm talking to who lives in another state that I was moving there when I told him April Fools he got mad.. I guess he was excited.. I feel bad and will give that day a break next year :)

My best is a note I posted in the bathroom. I posted a note from HR saying, "Please do not urinate in the sinks. This practice is very unhygienic and will not be tolerated." Note: I put the signs up in the Ladies rooms.
