GOOD SITE WITH ALOT OF DIRTY TRICKS.. long, long read.. but good ideas

 

I dunno that this would qualify as the best but star, the ever practical joker pulled a doosie this morning...

He always stops at the same place to get gas so knows the employees pretty well...while paying for his gas and morning paper he grabs the microphone and announces to those waiting to get gas..."Good Morning! Welcome to Gate...All gas is free today compliments of the Mayor!" The Mayor is John Peyton and he and his family own Gate Petroleum. *thud*

At $2.37.9 a gallon along with a huge increase in theft of gas around here it's a wonder he didn't start a riot! lol

 

I'm just lazy

My sister got my dad with "I'm pregnant." for three years. Every year she'd call on april fools and tell him she was pregnant,and he'd flip out about how she couldn't afford it right now, her fiance was working 3 jobs, etc. Finally on the fourth year he realized it was april fools. Then it lost its effectiveness, cause now she has 3 kids. It may not be the best, but it is funny that it took him three years to catch on.

 

An Australian fuel service station offered petrol (gas) for 9 cents a litre (40 cents a gallon approximately) on April Fools day. motorists queued for hours. It wasn't a joke, but a promotion of a servo offering petrol mixed with 10% ethanol so that motorists would try the new blend. Bazza

 

My supervisors took 500 turbotax boxes and filled in eachother's cubicles. They took everything out (personal effects) and DUMPED the boxes in. The younger one did it to the woman boss, then she did it back to her, now she's in the process of putting them BACK. So... hey...

and the actual COMPANY put out a memo...

Intuit Launches TurboTot for Really Young Tax Filers
April 1, 2005—In an effort to target the 0-17 age group, Intuit launched the "Future Filers of America" (FFOA) marketing strategy today. Included in this initiative is TurboTot®, a tax preparation program that babies can 'cut their teeth' on.

Like H&R Block's TaxCut, TurboTot doesn't actually prepare taxes. Instead, TurboTot is a fun, interactive way to introduce babies to complex tax laws and installation errors. Babies can use TurboTot to "prepare" their taxes while learning hand-eye coordination and swear words.

Intuit plans to kick four additional FFOA products out the door within the next 18 years. Pooped programmers, drained developers, and exhausted engineers currently have their hands full with TurboTyke® (ages 3-5), TurboTerror® (ages 6-9), TurboTeenyBopper® (ages 10-12) and TurboZit® (ages 13-17).

Here are some TurboTot FAQs to help you decipher and answer questions from curious babies.

Q: Goo goo gah gah?

Absolutely! Using TurboTot is as easy as taking candy from you!

As a bonus, the first 50 babies to place their order will receive a Shake 'n Shine™ Rattle. This rattle glows when you shake it, providing hours of nocturnal entertainment. Your parents will LOVE it!

Q: Da da googie ba bah?

I'm sorry. A recent population explosion has exhausted our limited supply of Shake 'n Shine™ Rattles as well as our eyeglasses, keyrings, and any other sparkly/shiny trinkets we could dredge up. All gone!

But I'll be more than happy to place your TurboTot order! May I have your Priority Code please?

Q: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

OK, OK, you can have a Shake 'n Shine™ Rattle too! Agents: Don't send it – babies' memories are even shorter than those in Mountain View.

Q: Bpffffutt blublblb nyang ghang gahh!

I apologize for any misunderstanding. Unfortunately, TurboTot is incompatible with baby drool. Besides, the CD tastes ucky and should not be gummed or chewed prior to installation.

Although the product box does say that babies can 'cut their teeth' on it, that part came from the Marketing Department, which means you shouldn't take it literally.

Q: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

OK, OK, I'll send you a replacement! How many do you want? Agents: Don't really send it – by the time babies gets their replacement TurboTot CDs, it'll be time for TurboZit anyway.

Q: Da da?

Er... I deny any previous involvement with your mommy. Is there anything else I can help you with today?

 

Back in the mid-seventies, the local paper reported a train crash out of town that dumped cases of beer everywhere. Even a picture on the front page showing broken boxes of beer all over the place. Being teenagers, we piled into my car and headed out there. The track where the wreck was supposed to have taken place paralleled a paved secondary road but you couldn't see the track from the road, so we had to drive down a bunch of little dirt roads to different spots on the track to find our beer. We found no beer and no train wreck. Dejected and thirsty we headed back into town only to find out it was a joke. They don't even ship beer by rail!

 

Last year my daughter had just turned 16 and had her first car. We lived in town and her car was parked on the road. When my husband got up for work, he waited a bit, then went up to her room and told her someone had hit her car. I never saw her fly out of bed so fast and run outside to check.

I don't think she has forgiven him yet for that one.

abby thats a good one that he did

 

Does he still get gas where the patrons don't speak Engrish?

Gas in my area is now at $2.599 or at one truck stop $2.500. I used to not go there since it was out of the way. I make an extra effort now.....

 

Being that the wedding plans are a major part of our life at the moment, my pranks went something along the lines of....

1. Call my fiance at work and tell him that last night arsonists burnt down the church we are to marry in

2. Call my sis-in-law-to-be who is managing the catering and tell her that we need one coeliac meal, 2 dairy free meals, 4 diabetic meals, one nut-free meal....etc etc..you get the picture.


Haha...man, I de-stressed big time today

#1: The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest
spaghetti harvest In 1957 the respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in, and many called up wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti trees. To this question, the BBC diplomatically replied that they should "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best." Check out the actual broadcast archived on the BBC's website (You need the RealVideo player installed to see it, and it usually loads very slowly).

#3: Instant Color TV
image In 1962 there was only one tv channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station's technical expert, Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily convert their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their tv screen, and they would begin to see their favorite shows in color. Stensson then proceeded to demonstrate the process. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people, out of the population of seven million, were taken in. Actual color tv transmission only commenced in Sweden on April 1, 1970.
