Creative Mayhem for April Fools’ Day

The electric hand buzzer, the camera that shoots water when you go in for that special ‘close-up’ or convincing your best friend it’s really Sunday when the calendar says Thursday: these are just a few of the tools available to you on the world’s most mischievous day of the year.

If you can’t quite think of the perfect way to flummox a friend, confuse a coworker or prank a pal, here are some suggestions:

Spice up a boring day at the office by planting a garden in a co-workers keyboard or installing an air horn at a door protector for the office restroom.

For a quick and easy April Fools’ prank, just take a cup, write an ominous message on it like: “Do not open unless you plan to kill it!” and leave it upside down on your victim’s desk.

A trick that’s been making the internet rounds is to paint their bar of soap in the bathroom with nail polish. No suds? Wonder why.

There’s no reason to leave the kids out of the act either. Simply open a bag of their favorite snack, replace the contents with a different equally favorite snack and enjoy their confused looks.

For a quick bit of watery fun, take some electrical tape and tie down the trigger on the sprayer on the kitchen sink.

There’s no sense in letting a perfectly good holiday go to waste, so enjoy a little creative mayhem this April Fools’ Day.
