Talking Have You Been April Fooled?

Last year a safety meeting was about to begin,
when one of the supervisor who just came in and said
that my ex smashed my 201 windshield. I hurried
down just to see a note says,"The joke's on you!"4-01-01.
They know I'm too anal about my car.

I pulled a realy good one on my mom a few years ago. Here is what you do.
Go to your kitchen sink with a rubber band and put the rubber band on the "garden hose" sprayer thing, so it is in the on possition. Possition it to face the person in front of the sink so when the faucet is turned on water comes spraying out of the hose and gets the person all wet. It was great and we all had a good laugh over it.

Three Rednecks were working on the BellSouth tower - Steve, Dudley and Stewart. Steve fell off and was killed instantly.

As the ambulance took the body away, Dudley said, "Someone should go and tell his wife."

Stewart said, "OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it. "

Two hours later, he came back carrying a case of Budweiser. Dudley asked, "Where did you get that, Stewart?"

"Steve's wife gave it to me,"

"That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you beer?"

"Well, not exactly", Stewart said. "When she answered the door, I said to her, 'You must be Steve's widow.'"

She said, "No, I'm not a widow."

And I said, "I'll bet you a case of Budweiser you are."

Clowns & Harlots: Action Jesus Vs. Barbie – The Final Battle!
by Christopher Corbett, Taipan Financial News
“Jesus to Battle Barbie on Wal-Mart Shelves” - news headline
The news last week that a foot-high plastic Jesus doll that quotes Scripture is going to take on Barbie in toy aisles across America naturally got my attention.
As you would imagine, this involves the nation's largest retailer, Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart says that it’ll start carrying a line of faith-based toys in 425 of its 3,376 stores later this month to see if characters such as Spirit Warrior Samson can rival the popularity of superhero figures like Spiderman.
A spokesman for Wal-Mart says that the “faith-enriching toys,” made by One2believe, a Californian company, would go on sale mainly in stores in the Midwest and South. These are the country's religious heartlands -- and the parts of the Republic where a shopper might be the first member of his or her family to walk erect, wear shoes or have thumbs.
David Socha, the chief executive of One2Believe, says his toys offer parents an alternative to dolls and figures with violent or sexual overtones. Socha says the nation’s toy aisles are full of reproductions of Satan, or dolls that promote promiscuity.

I do not believe that there is any question that Jesus will easily defeat Barbie in action figure sales… if he uses his super powers! Think about that?
You want super powers? This is Jesus, for Christsake! (No offense intended.)
He can raise the dead, turn water into wine, feed the multitudes, cure lepers… He also cures dropsy (whatever the hell that is). And he has a whole bunch of other cool stuff that he can do. Plus, he can return from the dead.
What can Barbie do? Shop?
Think about this: Barbie can water-ski. Jesus can walk on water.
Some might argue that Barbie has nicer clothes. Barbie has nicer hair. Barbie is hot. Barbie has action-figure friends.
But Jesus will have nicer clothes too if designers give the Nazarene a whole new wardrobe especially made for the Son of God. Let’s face it; Jesus can’t take on Barbie if he goes out wearing that bathrobe he always has on.
As for hair, Jesus has always had great hair -- even atheists recognize that. When did you ever see any representation of Jesus that his hair did not look good? Jesus is also pretty buff. He works out.
As for Barbie and her so-called friends, who are they? Ken, Midge, Skipper.
Jesus has John the Baptist, Peter and Paul, Sampson, Moses, Noah. Everyone wants to be Jesus’ friend. Ever hear “what a friend we have in Jesus”?
I hope the manufacturers of Action Jesus have considered how complex this whole thing could get when they drag religion into the toy aisles. (This was their idea!)
There might be a few obvious problems, so we better get ready for those. There’s always a chance that bad kids are going to try to get Action Jesus to turn Coke into wine. You know this is going happen.
Bad kids will try to make Action Jesus perform miracles.
Unauthorized miracles. Day off from school? That’s blasphemous, kids. But I am pretty sure it’s going to happen.
I suppose, in the end, the mission of One2Believe is pretty obvious. They are spreading the word of Action Jesus and they are trying to make a buck. And when you put those two together in this great country you can’t go wrong.
Can I get an amen?

Jesus is no match for Barbie in the accessory department.....how hard is it to accessorize a white robe anyway!

I was had on April Fool's

I was leaving work and one of my coworkers stopped me in the parking lot and starting asking me a bunch of questions about my car. He then points to my car which was about a 100 feet away. Smoke was all around it and I almost had a heart attack. They rolled a smoke bomb under it. My coworkers know how much I love my car and had a good laugh.

my boss at my warehouse job told me about an april fools joke he did at the job

One of the guys saran wrapped his car so in retaliation while this guy was out making a run him and 6 of the other guys(drivers warehouse guys) picked up this kids car and put it on top of two airline pallets. They are aluminum pallets, they put the frame on some jack stands they had laying around and strapped the car to the pallet, then filled the interior with some packing peanuts they had laying around. (used to fill anything that needs more packing)... then shrink wrapped it with two rolls of shrink wrap..

still not done.. then he took the big forklift(capacity of 5,000 lbs) and put the packaged car on top of a container they had out in the parking lot and left the car on top until the guy came back

No one has yet to prank bossman...

Powdered sugar will carmalize on the heater; time for a new unit. Both are flammable, flour to the point of being explosive.

Either is a really bad idea.
