Things like books, friendly company, and one of my favorites: pranks.<\/p>\n<p>The good thing about jokes and pranks is that they cost little to nothing in order to prepare.  The outcome is usually fun for everyone except for the one getting pranked, but I&#8217;ll take those odds :).<\/p>\n<h3>Pranks Never Die<\/h3>\n<p>Here are a few easy-to-do April Fools Day pranks that you can try on your friends and family today:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a                     rubber band and slip it over the lever on the spray handle of a sink,                     so that when someone turns the sink on, it will spray him or                     her in the face. This is an easy way to pull a great prank!<\/li>\n<li>Stick a                     post-it note under your friend&#8217;s mouse so that the paper                     leaf covers the mouse ball or laser.\u00a0 Align it so that the sticky part of the note doesn&#8217;t touch the                     ball. Costs next to nothing to do, and doesn&#8217;t cause any                     damage.<\/li>\n<li> Put some                     water in a cereal bowl, and place it in the freezer so that                     the water freezes. Offer to make your friend cereal                     in the morning. Make sure you use that same bowl. Put their                     favorite cereal over the top of the ice, and serve.<\/li>\n<li>Send a fake love note to a co-worker from another co-worker<\/li>\n<li>Put a For Sale ad for an item belonging to a co-worker and post it around the office<\/li>\n<li>Change the language setting on a friend&#8217;s phone to a foreign language<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, there are plenty more.\u00a0 Here are some good resources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/blog\/outgoing\/www.aprilfoolzone.com\/office2.htm');\" title=\"Office Pranks\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.aprilfoolzone.com\/office2.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Office Pranks<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/blog\/outgoing\/www.aprilfoolzone.com\/unique.htm');\" title=\"At-Home Pranks\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.aprilfoolzone.com\/unique.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Home Pranks<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Your BudgeX Bargain: <\/strong><a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/blog\/outgoing\/www.dominos.com');\" title=\"Dominos Pizza\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.dominos.com\" target=\"_blank\">Free CinnaStix from Dominos Pizza!<\/a> No purchase necessary!\u00a0 Click on &#8216;order&#8217;, enter your address, and use the code SWEET<strong> <\/strong>in the coupon code area.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;margin: 12px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-8699601415085750\";\r\n\/* Blog Ad 468x60 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7288488553\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you ever notice that when times are tough, people tend to come together and enjoy the little things in life?
