I got the old "I'm pregnant" gag from my lady, didn't fall for it
Should have pulled the "You can't be, because I've had the snip" card.
APRIL FOOLS DAY
- Thread starter Mrs Seabiscuit
- Start date
Should have pulled the "You can't be, because I've had the snip" card.
http://com.google is my fav.
Thought about that, but as I actually plan to get this snip, and haven't discussed that with her yet, I thought best not to
Being the unofficial IT guy in my office (and my very sarcastic nature) has made me suspect #1 with the printer gag. My lab manager almost fell for it but one of the PhD students tried different accents. I have professed my innocence and helped them be suspicious of one of the fellows. Muhahahaha

I am sure you can be arrested for faking a bomb threat?
Hope so. Both the sites had to be evacuated, police squads on-site etc so it wasn't taken lightly, especially given the date.
Someone gonna get fired over that. Fun.
That went off with a bang...
This is an email I sent out to everyone at work this morning.
Hi,
I have just been alerted to the fact that the SA Alarm has gone off in the server room and a build up of static electricity has occurred. For those not in the know static electricity can be harmful to electronic equipment if left unchecked. There is no danger to any person.
In order to reduce the levels if you are in the following offices listed below and sat in front of your PC or laptop can you remove your shoes and socks (if applicable) for ten minutes whilst the levels of SA go down. Once it has gone down to an acceptable level again I shall let everyone know.

Schedules
Marketing
Many thanks
etc etc

I am currently out of the office. If you are reading this in your bare feet - April Fools!. If you still have your shoes and socks on then well done you saw through the deception. If anyone reading this does not have a clue what I am on about then have a Happy Easter!
Let's just say I got a few people before they cottoned on!

The irony being that your initial reply was completely patronising, whether you have the knouse to realise it or not.
Besides, the day I lose the little childish part of me that likes to rear its head on occasion then I may as well jump off of a very high building, because I can't imagine how dull life would be without it.

My girlfriend told her parents i'd broken up with her and could they come pick her up with all her stuff cause I made her move out.
Her dad is retired Army Sergeant. He was furious.
I told her it'd been funnier if it wasn't literally my life at stake
