So far I've been pranked by Netflix and Google. I'm on the lookout for some more April Fools in the news.
So you gonna argue with Jesus?
Toothpaste under the driver’s side door handle this morning.
Hubby didn’t find it nearly as hilarious as I did.
Tonight’s prank involves crime scene tape & chalk outlines on the driveway. This one is tried and true & great for pranking neighbors.
The phony crime scene has potential as long as you next door neighbor doesn’t work for CSI. :)
I never did toothpaste but I’ve done a few whoopee cushions in my life.
If you don’t - your secret is certainly safe with me! I never memorized much of the periodic table! :-)
At the local radio station here, people know the radio dj’s like free food, so someone is bringing in Oreos filled with toothpaste....
Rand Paul bought a man’s suit??????
Matthew 19:23-24
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
That sounds like a good one. Except there is still 6 inches of snow and ice on my driveway. Maybe next year.
Dave’s not here man.
I will make a note of it.
I will confess as a child I put sugar in the salt container.
My father was not to pleased.
Correct, when the rich man asked Jesus how he could get into heaven, Jesus said “sell everything you have, give it to the poor and follow me”.
What he did NOT say was “establish a system of progressive taxation...”
Joke’s on you...it’s a Dromedary.
:^)
Jesus was not advocating for socialism with that quote….nor any other…..not to mention the fact that “the eye of a needle” had different context in those times.
Yes, rather plain indeed. Anyone with a lot of earthly possessions has a harder time forsaking them for heavenly treasure.
Ooh.....that’s minty fresh evil.....
Unless...they twist them and lick the filling first. Then I would it be downgraded to a prank?
Daughter’s school was a bus ride away on the opposite side of a rickety old draw bridge over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in NE Florida. I came home one April 1st and told her that a barge had come loose, hit it and that the bridge would be shut down for at least the next 6 weeks.
Needless to say, she was nearly apoplectic - I let her twist in the wind for about 10 minutes, finally asking her what day it was.
The bruises remain. They’re deep, but they’re there.
Third Grade prank:
The school administrators went on a tear dictating what the students had to eat and the students had to eat everything the students were given to eat whether they wanted that much or not. In response, a plan was made to see the teachers live up to their own rules after a series of pranks confronted them with some unlikey things to eat. One of the more innocent gambits went like this:
The school lunch tables had blocks of USDA butter/margarine put out on a plate. We took one of them and hollowed out the inside of the block, filled it with the USDA molasses, and sealed it up again with the butter/margarine that had been carved out. Then we slipped it onto the teachers’ lunch table and waited for the fun to begin. When the trap was sprung, the students asked the teachers what they were eating?
Read the next couple of verses - and it almost totally changes how you’ll interpret 23-24. Remember, Jesus had no “verse” break between his words…..25-26 are CRITICAL to understanding 23-24.
Unfortunately, the joke isn’t over on April 2nd!
