Can someone please explain 2 me where the so called jokes and out right lies on April 1st are considered funny?

I don't get it. Who created this nonsense?

just assume everything is a joke and it will all be okay. I am not sure I would call them lies.

I actually really dislike this holiday and I too do not understand the meaning behind it.

Try working in a school on April 1st...

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR!!!

i sold the goldengate bridge...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I don't perpetrate any hijinks because...well...I don't particularly like being the target of them.

But back in the day, there was one time...some co-workers and I covered the mouthpiece of another co-worker's phone with cellophane tape. Then we arranged with aides in other offices (this was a state legislative office), to call him about a piece of legislation our boss co-sponsored. We'd say, "So and so's on line 2 about SB whatever." He'd pick it up...and he could hear the other person, but they couldn't hear him. He was yelling into the receiver...and the rest of us were doing the "silent laugh of death."

This morning I sent a "company-wide" e-mail (just to people I know actually) telling my co-workers that my division was sold to a rival company, and that the deal involved me going along.

Half of the people fell for it and came by to tell me how sorry they were and that I would be missed.

The Comptroller actually walked into the VP's office to ask why she didn't know anything about the deal.

It's a good thing I'm well-liked (the VP came over and wished me a "Happy April Fool's Day")!

i would dearly love to stir up some sh%t here at work. April Fool's day is a time-honored tradition and should be respected.

If I think of a good, creative one, something that would generally be considered fun or funny by most people, I'll roll with it. And so long as it isn't hurtful I don't mind being pranked. But I think the limit for such things should be very small in the workplace. Like, no telling someone the boss wanted a whole bunch of stuff moved and sorted and then telling them April Fools when the boss shows up and asks what they're doing six hours later (which I have actually seen ).

A friend of mine put a couple drops of food coloring under the cereal in her kids’ breakfast bowls this morning so when they poured the milk it turned red and blue. They thought it was awesome.

I think that’s cute.

For the most part as long as the pranks are harmless I think it’s all in good fun.

You old Scrooge.

Only one kid got me good today...

He came into class looking really sad- even squeezed out a tear.

I asked him what was wrong, and he told me that his dog had died last night. Then he said that since it was late, they just tossed him into the trash out back.

I got all upset, and practically yelled, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"

He wiped his eyes and said, "APRIL FOOL!"

The whole class started laughing.

^ that's messed up. rotten kids.

People were soooooo mad.

We were crying laughing!

I didn't think anyone would believe it!

Chris had decided to delete his account for whatever reason, and we decided that since it was April Fool's we'd make up some outlandish reason for me to give people when they asked why. I told everyone that I met Chris's first wife at a family function, got drunk and had sex with her. Because his acct was really deleted, I guess people believed it. It was pandemonium.

I would have divorced Dennis Rodman, too, and I don't even like Carmen Electra.

Didn't work when I clicked it. But if you copy the link location and paste it it works.

a friend of mine & I fell for one today -- a mutual friend on Facebook changed his birthday to today, he got about 60 birthday greetings on his wall before he told us he got us..

in honor of today:
