Love Bytes asked all of you pranksters to submit some April Fools Day pranks, gags and jokes. And did you ever! Following are some of the responses.
Fake Ring
My boyfriend took me to an Irish club on April Fools Day. We closed the place down. When he took me home he was rather nervous and excited. He pulled out a box and asked me to open it. It was a ring! He then asked me if I would marry him. I was so surprised! I immediately said “yes, of course.: After he left, I called my mom, my sisters and my best friends. I was so excited.
The next morning we met for a late breakfast. I told him I had called my family and friends to give the good news and he immediately became very quiet and uneasy. He then told me that his friends bet him $100 he wouldn’t pull an April Fools prank on me. The ring was fake and the proposal..well it wasn’t for real. I was livid…felt like the biggest fool in the world. I got my purse, stormed out of the restaurant and told him where to go. For weeks after, he would text me, leave messages on my phone and post comments on myspace. He was begging me to accept his apology. I finally took my friends advice and called him. That was 6 years ago…and today we are happily married with a beautiful baby. Humor continues to be a big part of our relationship…it keeps the sparkle in our lives. — Christina
Fishing Date?
I took my girlfriend to the Island for April Fools Day. I told her we were going to spend the evening fishing on the bay. She hated to fish so she whined a lot, saying she would rather do something else. When we arrived on the Island she wanted to go home. I blindfolded her and told her I had a secret fishing spot just for her. All she did was complain. Before long we were at our destination. When she opened her eyes she could not believe it as people shouted April Fools Day. We were on a chartered boat with 12 of our best friends celebrating her 30th birthday. She was speechless. Since then she has never complained about going fishing and every year on her birthday we try to go on the charter boat. April Fools Day is a day we will never forget…an evening filled with laughter, fun and romance. — Tony
Stolen Car
On New Years Day I decided to pull a joke on my boyfriend. He was in Dallas visiting family and I was home. When he called I told him I had received a ticket for DWI on New Years Eve. That an officer pulled me over, made me take the breathalizer test and then gave me a ticket. I even had my sister collaborate on the joke. When he came home, the joke continued. Two weeks later I received a call from an attorney friend that my boyfriend had contacted. It was then that I had to confess that it was all a joke.
Well he was furious. “Wait till April Fools Day” he kept saying. Well he sure pulled a good one. He came to my office and moved my car in another associates parking place. He then asked my fellow associate to go to lunch with me. When we left for lunch I noticed my car was missing. I immediately went inside the office and said “my car has been ripped off.” Various associates began calling the police department, U.S. & Mexico bridges, etc….alerts were everywhere. Nobody wanted my car to cross into Mexico. After 10 minutes, my lunch partner looked at me and said “isn’t revenge sweet.” I was pissed. How could I be so gullible…that same morning my boyfriend told me I better watch out. I was definitely the fool. And you know he even went to the police department the day before to let them know if they received a call about the missing car…it was just a joke.
We’ve now been married for more than 1o years, and to this day we still laugh about the prank. — Jennifer
It’s not a pitty party…it’s a celebration! Why sit around mopping about a broken relationship, being depressed, hopeless and blaming yourself? Have a break up party. It may seem cold hearted at first, but break up parties are becoming quite popular.
