What do the ever-eloquent, light of heart members of APS have in mind for the poor souls they'll come in contact with today?
If not much is planned, then what are some good stories from years past?
I hope Hillary wins the Democratic nomination because I'm voting for her.

Well, they had never heard of April Fools....well, someone, come to find out later it was the PRESIDENT of our little group....taped the little hose in our kitchen, so anytime someone turned on the faucet, they would get sprayed....almost everyone got sprayed, because once you got "hit", you'd smile and wait for the next. It was truely an awesome group to work with.
Well, they happened to send in someone fairly high up from Japan to look around that day....he got soaked and was PISSED....REALLY, REALLY mad....we had to calm him down, then explain what was going on....once he noticed that most people in the office had tell tale wet spots, he started to laugh his ass off.
Rumor has it he did the same then when he went back to Japan!!!
Oh, and I'm going to remove the disclaimer in the first thread.
Not needed today.

I plan on winding up some phone handset cords tight.
The key for me is not to have to fix or clean up. It's the little things that matter
Maybe some saran wrap under the seat /over the women's bowl.... Nah.

By the way, the real Fistfull has been banned.
He will receive the following message upon trying to log in ""We have found another designated ScapeGoat and your services are no longer needed. Best of luck finding another site looking to fill such a position".

I believe, for Windows machines, there is still a program that will temporarily remap the keys on the keyboard.
And if I wasn't on the Air Force's network, I would have all sorts of fun with that. 
I have done the keyswap deal though.*Phone Rings*
"DUDE, every time I press 'O' I get a 'P' on the screen! You gotta help"
"Ok, calm down. What happens when you press 'P'?"
"I get an 'O'"
"Well, I guess you know what you need to do now." *CLICK*
He came over about 20 seconds later....

Need to spell his name correctly if you are going to ban him.

The thing is, that doesn't work for touch-typists. I don't even look at the keyboard. The remapping, though, if someone starts to transcribe, say, a handwritten document and is looking only at the document, they'll look back at the screen and see the worst mis-spellings possible.
Here's one...you can remap individual keys, which would make someone just think they'd forgotten how to type or something!

Nothing says romance like Hooters.
The funny thing is my wife has probably been to Hooters more times in the past 12 months than I have in 2 years. I think she takes people there for the shock value.

The only problem with that is that they're selling the same Black and Decker battery back up set over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...
But they did throw in a Bag O'Crap a few minutes ago. Once again, I failed to get one.

Is that what it is, or is that the piece that was on the picnic table when a goose flew over?

My son thought it was hilarous to switch the sugar with salt.
Needless to say that Mrs. Scout did not find her first swig of coffee funny this morning.
Although sugar on the scrambled eggs was, ummm, different.

Go into the windows mouse settings and reverse the buttons.
Place scotch tape over the mouse ball.
Reprogram peoples voice mail.
Put vanilla extract in water cooler jug (hey at least its a food product)
Go get in finger full of the really disgusting grease thats on the mats of a forklift, apply to ear piece of phone.
Put for sale signs on coworkers cars that are close to road. Very low price and their phone number. Remove before they see said sign.
Put UPS truck on jack stands while in office waiting for check for cod package.
If its cold out put sprinkler on roof of car for several hours. End result iceberg in parking lot.
Switch regular and defcaf coffee in pots.
Super glue foam coffee cups to peoples desks when not looking.
Color photo copy money and let lay around office. Yes people will fight over a fake 100 dollar bill.
Borrow peoples keys and move their cars a few spaces over.
I could go on.

Heh, sounds like a April Fool's prank my brother and I pulled when we were around 6 or so (we're fraternal twins). We got up early in the morning, just after our mother had started brewing a pot of coffee (after which she usually takes a shower, and was thus distracted) and POURED damn near a whole thing of pepper into the coffee pot. Needless to say, our parents were NOT amused.
Greatest April Fool's day joke ever, though, was one that was pulled back in the 1970's in Alaska. Apparently, this helicopter pilot who was known for his April Fool's day jokes spent the entire week prior to 4/1 ferrying old car tires to the top of an old volcano. Then on 4/1 he lit them on fire. The town immediately below the volcano (Sitka) freaked thinking that the volcano had come back to life and was about to erupt.

-The manager's car got shrink-wrapped to the light pole he parked next to.
-We picked up a co-worker's Ford Festiva, moved it around the corner of the building, taped a table skirt around it, and dumped a gallon bucket of mustard (taken from the concession stand) on his windshield. It stained the windshield.
-Sugar was poured in the pots of coffee, and mugs were superglued to the break room table.
-Forklift grease was spread on the seats of the forklifts.

Forward any unattended phone to the victim's phone.
We did this in college - they put in a new system, but there wasn't a password to do something like that.

One guy made the nearly fatal mistake of sharing how much hated bananas.
I tortured him for several weeks with bananas, banana peels, and banana extract oil.
The best?
Brutally hot and humid day in DC. I took a syringe and needle and ran it through the window seal on his car.
He was absolutely freaking livid when he opened up his car at the end of the day.
The next day there were about 6 of us in the parking lot. When he pulled in we all started singing the Banana Boat Song...
