    WQXR, the classical station in NYC, played a symphony, that midway through, had this static interference that sounds like when someone in a different apartment somewhere in the building is using a vacuum cleaner. And it fades in and out. And I'm playing with the radio dial. And it turns out it was part of the recording and they play it for April Fools day.

    One young dude I work with just played a gag on on his buddy.

    Told him he had a message to call Myra Maines and the phone number he gave him was the county Medical Examiner.

    I give it a 2 on a scale of 1-10

    My plan is to take three phone message slips from the secretary's message pad and leave the follwing three messages on my office neigbor's chair when he goes to lunch.

    1. "John [The head litigation partner] called looking for you."
    2. "John called again looking for you"
    3. "John called and said to forget it."

    In college I woke my roommate up on Sunday morning and convinced him it was Monday. He got dressed and left for class, came back about 15 minutes later.

    In college we went to the girls only floor above ours, took off the shower heads and stuck boullion cubes in them, so that when they turned on the hot water they got nice hot beef stew showers. My roommate learned that one in boarding school apparently, I highly recommend it.

    my daughter is going to bring a fake test home with a big red F on it to fool my wife. That is if the teacher will help. If not I will get involved.

    I opened both of my stores on April Fools Day (different years) - also fitting.
