What kind of gag replaces something kind of OK good with something great.

The nuggets need to be made of Limburger cheese or raw onions.

Oh wait, I once gave someone a caramel onion.

Back when I was in the corporate world, here are some April Fool tricks I thought of, but never had the guts to actually do.

Pretend that I had received the following email from “Properties” and was told to forward it to my department: “In order to encourage employees not to spend too much time in the bathroom, properties has fitted the toilet seats with a timing device. After 5 minutes you will feel a mild shock followed a minute later by another stronger shock and so forth. We feel this is necessary due to a general drop in productivity and the perception among some that a trip to the bathroom can be treated as a mini-vacation. Thank you for your cooperation!”

Another one: “After a number of complaints and one serious injury we are once again instituting our blind-corner call system for all cubicle domiciled employees. Cubicle walls are 5 feet, 5 inches high (1.65 meters). Any employee whose eye level is below this height who approaches a blind cubicle corner must shout in a loud voice the word, “CORNER!” This will avoid any would-be collisions and subsequent work-related injuries. Using common sense in applying this directive will go a long way toward maintaining a cordial and safe workplace.”

And one more:
“My friend, Loof Lirpa from the first floor of our building asked me to pass this along to my work group.

He brought his pets to work yesterday as part of a cultural diversity demonstration. The pets are three Senegalese Biting Lizards from Loof’s native country of Senegal. Loof was up on our floor borrowing some bags of coffee and unfortunately the lizards got out of their cage. Loof searched for a long time, but was unable to find them. Animal Control will arrive this afternoon and the search will resume after work today.

Everyone is cautioned to be on the alert as these lizards will sometimes bite with little or no provocation. Don’t worry; the bite is painful, but not poisonous. Each lizard is about 22 inches long and about the same pattern coloration as our carpet.”

Feel free to use these in your work group.... as I never did. By the way Loof Lirpa is April Fool spelled backwards.

I remember absent mindedly eating some chicken nuggets. Since my mind was not on what I was doing, I remember thinking I was eating fish sticks. Then I snapped out of it and thought “wait, these aren’t fish sticks”. Then I thought “but what are they?”, cuz they had little if any flavor.

I miss April Fool's Day. It used to be that anything went on April Fool's Day, even in the workplace.

Now that everybody gets offended over the slightest thing, April Fool's Day is all but banned.

TV stations used to get in on it too. During the 1980s, a local Boston TV station spent the morning reporting that Blue Hill (near Milton just outside Boston) was erupting. Traffic reports from an actual helicopter was reporting lava flows approaching Route 128. People that lived in the area were fleeing their homes!

Another time, a TV weatherman predicted a blizzard and people started hitting the supermarkets for bread and milk. Ironically, the Boston area did get hit by an actual blizzard on April 1 years later (1997).

In my workplace one year, a memo circulated that the company was relocating to Caribou, Maine as a cost-saving measure. HR got flooded with calls from concerned employees.

Nothing like that could ever happen today because people have lost their sense of humor.
