April Fools Day is the Worst Day of The Year

It's almost here. The day idiots have a license to make themselves, and others, look like fools.

I love the month of April. Tax season ends, so all my accountant friends and relatives will start coming back out of their cubicles. The connection between Jesus and a rabbit comes full circle with the Reeces Peanut Butter Cup Egg. It's also the month where the end result of my parents honeymoon first saw the light of day. (Happy Birthday to Me). But the greatest month of the year always starts off with the worst day of the year. APRIL FOOLS!

The idea of setting aside one day where "pranking" others is completely acceptable is a world wide exercise. According to Wikipedia early renditions of April Fools' Day include the Roman festival of Hilaria, which was hilarious, the Holi festival of India and the Medieval Feast of Fools. It was actually a bigger holiday before the invention of the handgun. (no, that's a lie. People were killed just as much for fooling others on this day well before it was O.K. to shoot someone down. Do we not remember the Salem Witch Burnings? Yep, those lady's had a sick sense of humor and it cost them.) (Nope, again, April Fools.) You just can't trust anyone this time year.

If you'd like a few ideas, allow me. I'm a helper.

This one is quick and easy. All you need is some tape and a slice of paper. Feel free to write on the paper, then tape it to the bottom of someones mouse.

A few other quick ideas for around the office. Stick an air horn under someone chair. They sit down, then jump right back up as the chair touches the horn. If you're lucky they'll poop themselves. HA!. You can also stick the air horn behind the door, so when they come in, they hop right back out again. Then there's my favorite. Take the phone number of the person you want to prank. Make a flyer saying that they can win something if they leave the most insulting voice mail. This is guaranteed to make another human being feel like crap for at least a week. Good times.

What do you think? Here's what John Oliver thinks about the holiday.

The best bet is to play a joke by not playing a joke. Be nice. Give everyone a hug. Then sit back and watch and they get all paranoid thinking you stuck a "Kick Me" sign on their back.
