April Fool’s Day is a day for all of us to have some fun and play a few jokes on our friends or even on strangers.
Newspapers, radio stations, and even large companies have their share of fun, as well. The below stories will illustrate what I mean. Thanks, and enjoy! — Alex
April Fool’s Day at Its Best …
Hold Up Your Credit Cards!
Back in the days of the Mattel Cabbage Patch Kid craze it was usually very hard to get one for the kiddies.
A radio station (I don’t know where) announced that Mattel was going to get Cabbage Patch Kids out to the people of this particular city.
The plan was that they had to go to the football field of the local university and wait. An airplane would fly overhead and the dolls would be dropped onto the field.
People were supposed to hold their credit cards up so that a photographer with a telephoto lens in the airplane could get the credit card numbers and charge the price of the dolls to the recipients’ accounts.
People actually showed up, waving American Express cards in the breeze.
Cleaning the Phone Lines!
One radio station prank took place on April Fool’s Day. They announced that the phone company would be cleaning the dirt out of the phone lines that afternoon. They do this, it seems, by blowing air into the wires in the switching station. The problem is that the dirt comes out of the earpiece and mouthpiece of the telephone and could dirty the rugs or furniture in your house.
Consequently, the phone company asks that the good citizens please get plastic bags and put them over the handsets of the telephones to protect their belongings.
Stores reported a run on plastic bags, and the phone company made the radio station retract the original claim.
Draining a Beer Truck
KFMB-AM, a San Diego radio station, announced that a beer truck had jack-knifed and could not be towed away until the beer had been removed from its tank.
Over 100 people showed up at the site where the accident was supposed to have occurred to help drain it.
and last but not least…
Who are the biggest “Fools” of them all?
Can you imagine working at this outfit. It has a little over 500 employees with the following statistics:

21 are current defendants in lawsuits
In 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving.
Yes, you guessed it! It’s the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws designed to keep the rest of us in line.
In a hospital waiting room a guy is anxiously waiting for his wife to have their first baby, after 2 hours, a nurse comes bouncing though the labor room doors with a little baby cradled in her arms and asks for Mr. Johnson, the guy proudly announces ” that would be me!” he jumps out of his chair and runs over to her and says ” is that my baby?”, the nurse replies “why yes!” she starts to hand him the baby, and instead, grabs it by the feet, swings it over her head, and slams it into the tile wall and it’s brains and guts splatter everywhere; the guy then says “Jesus Christ, what in the hell did you do to my baby ? !!!!” she replies, “April Fools!, it’s already been dead for an hour.”
THIS IS REALLY SICK…………………but it had to be done
Right after this woman gives birth to a baby girl the nurse runs out to the other room to get it cleaned up. When she comes back she whipes the baby at the wall and it rolls over dead. The mother screams.
The nurse says:
“APRIL FOOLS,..It was already dead!”
AHAHAHAHAHA!
You take tape and a quarter. you taped the quarter to the ground where someone can see it.. and when someone tries to pick it up, they cant cause its taped to the ground
It was April 1st, and this blahla lookin guy was sticking his head in the fridge looking for something to eat. He said, “Eh brah, I so hungry I could eat one whole fricken horse!” A few seconds lapsed and then his wife storms out and slams him over the head with a frying pan knocking him unconscious. “You not eating any of this punani!” Then she goes to the bar and the bartender says, “so, why the long face?”
