April Fools Jokes

Last year my naughty husband made orange Kool-aid using the powder from a mac and cheese box. I thought it might be fun to read about other April Fools gags. So, what was your best gag?

Setting up the labs skeleton in a bed with a baseball cap on on my floor, then activating the call light.

Stuffing newspaper in the toes of every pair of shoes in the house.

Making pancakes and coiling a length of sewing thread into the wet side before flipping over.

I think I'd worry about it being a choking hazard (thread).

I was tempted to rearrange the staff assignment sheets so it appeared that everyone was put on units that they hated or never worked before. But then I decided I valued my life more than the laugh ;)

No, No, No. :nono:

The plural is MEESES, as in, "I hate you meeses to pieces!"

This is an old one. Put apple juice in a labeled specimen container and take it out to the desk (or somewhere in front of a newer nurse or tech). State that you're thirsty, then unscrew the specimen cup and take a drink.

I made lemon cupcakes today for Easter dessert. I piped one of them with butter and made sure my hubby received that one. It was very satisfying to get revenge on the orange kool-aid.

I know, I know "vengeance is mine", sayeth the Lord.

Happy Easter!

I didn't do it for April Fool's Day and I did it years ago when I was still in elementary school. My older brother kept stealing my candy, so I taught him a lesson. I had pixie sticks in plastic, not paper, sleeves that he kept taking. I managed to switch the sugar with salt and make it look like they weren't tampered with. He was very unpleasantly surprised and I think he learned his lesson- I got back at him either way :D

I once worked in LTC where there was an unfriendly Dalmatian that was supposed to befriend the residents. In an attempt to get the dog to come to residents, dog treats were placed in containers at the nursing stations marked "Treats for Dottie." I placed a label over the container marked "Slim Jims, help yourself." The DON was making rounds and caught two nurses leaning on the counter eating the dog treats. She enacted a facility wide investigation to find the perpetrator. I still laugh about this one.

You win!

Did she ever find the perpetrator?
