I am not usually that big on April Fool's Jokes or pranks because it is so expected, but I've been known to partake from time to time. Like the time I had a female friend of mine call my buddy and pretend she was pregnant. My buddy was away and a few friends of ours were partying at college when a female friend of ours showed up for the get together.
"Hey! I need you to do me a favor," I asked.
"What Chuck? I'm not doing anything weird," she said.
"I need you to call J.T. and act like some girl he knocked up," I explained.
"Doesn't he have a girlfriend?" She asked.
"Yeah, but it wouldn't be as funny if he didn't."
"That's kind of mean. What if he gets in trouble?"
"The only reason it will be funny is because he'll have to avoid the situation and do his best excuse making to get out of this one."
"I guess," she said, not sounding as thrilled as the rest of the party guests, who were all gathered around the phone.
It's funny, we didn't have cell phones in those days, so we would be calling his parent's answering machine to leave the message. Once again, not as funny if it goes to his own personal voice mail. Wow! I just realized we left the message on his parent's answering machine; that had to be a drunk decision made without proper planning.
"So you'll do it?" I practically sulked.
"Yeah, I guess."
(Crying into the phone) Hello, JT, this is Mary( name made up on the spot). We really need to talk....I'm pregnant. I don't know what you want to do about this, but, I'm really scared (sniffling). Call me because we really need to talk.
BEEP!!!!
Nothing was ever said about the incident and it really pissed me off because I don't like these types of things to go unnoticed. It was a few weeks later and I was talking to J.T. on the telephone.
"Hey, did you get any weird messages over the last couple of weeks?" I asked.
"Yeah, asshole, and you're lucky my parents didn't get to the message first. I knew it was probably you because I couldn't think of any girls who I could have gotten pregnant."
I should have looked into his recent sexual conquests before pulling this prank.
If you would like to pull this prank on a friend, it's best to pull it on a friend who recently bragged about a one night stand. This will get him to stop bragging and head for the land of denial in no time.

Good one!
I come from a long line of pranksters.
We've gotten as extreme as staging a 'fake' kidnapping of my aunt for her 50th birthday. She was terrified, it took her an hour to quit crying, so that wasn't all that funny.
One winter morning, I was up really early ... all the kids were sleeping. On a whim I hollered, "GET UP, GET UP, the furnace has a leak, the house is going to blow up". The kids flew out of bed, out into the cold ... probably terrified. They weren't really thrilled when I told them I was kidding.
I called a friend in University (who cheated A LOT) and pretended to be the Professor's assistant and asked him to come in about "paper that was an exact replica of a previous students". He got so upset, he went out and bought round after round for a full bar of strangers, thinking his life was over and his college money was no longer needed.
He was relieved, then pissed off, but I thought it was funny.
OK ... maybe we aren't really pranksters. More like terrorists. Shhh ... don't tell.
That's not as funny as rubbing vopour rub under your eyes, and telling the kids their mother died in a car crash. Can I stay at your place for a few days?
You two may have a crueler sense of humor than me. This is pretty scary.
That IS pretty cold....I'll DO IT !
Dig it, man.
Love your stuff.
Here's my latest on a fun poker night where one man let drinking get away from him.
