Practical Jokes For April Fools Day Or Anytime By uaezarb on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
It's fun playing practical jokes on people and with April fools day approaching in a couple of days, I thought I would compile a list of some harmless practical jokes you can play on your friends, family and co-workers.
Put a rubber band around the kitchen sink spray nozzle so the button stays down. Point it forward so when the water is turned on it will spray the victim.
Glue magnets on a coffee cup and put it on the top of your car. Watch how other drivers try to get your attention as you drive by.
Place a piece of tape across the eye of an optical mouse. The cursor won't move and they will go crazy trying to figure out why.
Replace the sugar in the dispenser with salt so when they put it in their coffee they will get a salty surprise.
Put salt on your victim's toothbrush.
Change the default font color to white on someone's computer so the typing will be invisible.
Fill up a box with packing peanuts or ping-pong balls and place it in a cupboard so the box flap will fall open when the cupboard is opened spilling the contents.
Reset the clocks ahead two hours so when your victim wakes up they will think they are late for work or school.
While making the victims lunch, don't remove the wrapper from the slice of cheese.
Substitute a few pages from the inside of a prior's week newspaper in the current issue.
Stuff cotton in the toes of the victim's shoes.
Remove the plastic bag from the box of cereal and switch it with another kind of cereal.
Hide a universal remote control out of view and change the channels and sound while your victim is watching TV.
Sabotage the victims car by setting the seat all the way forward or reclined, turning on the wipers, turning the radio volume on high and setting the air conditioning to high.
These are just a few ideas. I would love to hear of any good practical jokes you have pulled on your friends and family.

Love your article! My dad is the practical joker of the family, he loves pulling pranks, ever since we were kids, we always try to get him, but he is just too good, so we never do! But he always gets us, we should know better by now! lol
Great jokes -- My personal favourite is licking the inside of Oreo cookies and sticking them to people's cars on hot days. The frustrated victim must then scrape off the baked on icing. ;)
It is wrong for me to admit I have done many of these pranks? One that I recall from years ago was before computers. We all came into work, sat down at our typewriters and they were the kind with the metal ball. As soon as we turned the typewriters on, all of our balls went popping up and out of the carriage area. It was pretty funny to see it. :) Found out later it was one of the little kids of our boss.
Somebody at work had filled one of the latex gloves with water and froze it in such a way that the middle finger was pointing up. It was a perfect ice sculpture when the glove was peeled off and hilarious to find in the freezer where we expected to see the ice cream.... Cover the toilet bowl tightly with Saran Wrap. Women don't fall for that prank so much, but the men sure do.
How fun! I've had many of these done to me, but none was more surprising than the nozzle on the sink.
