I called it first as an April Fool post,,,but then my posts are.......delayed?

You want a good April Fools joke, well its sort of an April Fools trick.

Wake up before your spouse does and fill the toilet with pigs blood. Try to splatter some around inside the bowl. It's best if you can squeeze one off and have a bloody turd.

OMG, my wife wakes up and trolls to the bath room, screams, runs up to me sleeping (faking it), shakes me and says, "Dear God are you ok?!?! We got to get you to the hospital, get up, I have to look at your butt, are you bleeding still?"

lmao it was too hard to hold back the laughter as I just looked at her with no response but a messed up face I'm sure, especially since I farted a real loud slappy one. She looked so perplexed and I said April Fools Babe.

I never seen a woman laugh with such anger.

edit: This was last year and my buddy just so happened to have the pigs blood and we were looking for a good use for it. Not something too easy to come across.

Let's just hope nothing like this ever happens that is this bad ...for real... in a way... it could be seen as being pretty mean spirited... yanking others emotions and concerns around and raising their blood pressure in defense of someone here who really is not wounded or injured... IMHO... April Fool jokes should never involve life and death issues... A Joke is a Joke... But...Sometimes ...Its Best not to Tempt the Fates...

If it helps, he really did catch a box on fire while Josh and I were there. It was pretty funny since he didn't intend to and had no idea what was in the box.



No one was harmed during the baking of the manifold, only a cardboard box.

I think the best one I have heard of actually happened several years ago. The radio guy who pulled the prank was talking about it this morning and says he doesn't think he could ever top it. I wish I could find an article about it, but here is a blog entry I found...

Local Radio Prank
Barnum was right, there is a sucker born every minute. And apparently a whole bunch of them live in Fayetteville.

At 7:11 A.M. Jon and Jen on the radio hit the air with some breaking news.

With the help of Jon`s friend, they announced over the air that the space shuttle was coming in to the tiny Drake airport for an emergency landing.

According to Greenland police, over a hundred cars were parked along the road hoping to catch a glimpse of the shuttle during its descent.

More details here.

"Tiny Drake airport" is right. Here's a photo. See that hill in the background? The airport is surrounded by hills like that on all four sides. It has one open asphalt runway that's 6,006 ft. long & 100 ft. wide. They supposedly used it to train WWII fighter pilots because the approach is so steep & short.

Never mind the fact that there hasn't been a space shuttle flight since 2003. Anyone who'd ever seen Drake field should've known a shuttle couldn't land there. And why would the shuttle go there instead of XNA, which is much larger?

Jeez Louise, I can't believe anyone fell for that.

I guess parents were pulling kids out of school, teachers were trying to get buses to take kids over to the airport, etc. People who called into the show basically to say it was a prank where convinced to play along on the show, etc. Pretty fricking hilarious.

What can I say, were a young couple and it wasn't horrific. We both laugh about it now.

We run the track a mile, 2 or 3 at least once a month. Our hearts can handle the shock, lol.

Imho, getting a bucket of ice cold water dumped over the shower curtain by surprise is a lot worse. We mess with each other on a rare occasion, and we can because we bond well.

edit: Ha, I was pulling an April Fools Joke and forgot to say APRIL FOOLS at the end of the day, lol. You guys really believed I would dump pigs blood in my toilet? lmao!

Well, better late then never, "April Fools!"

as well as Phelps crawling through the yard

See, this is what ruined the joke. Smoke didn't cause this, instead it was this:
