Periodically, we do a survey of Beaconfire staff to get impressions on a variety of issues. All opinions expressed here are solely those of their authors.

What was the best April Fools joke you’ve ever played or been a victim of?

Mark, Functional Consultant: Best and worst joke I’ve fallen prey to… VA Beach’s Mount Trashmore Methane explosion joke of 1992 – #9 on museumofhoaxes.com all time worst April fools day jokes: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/worstaprilfools.html

We thought it was real for awhile, as 2 local DJ’s pulled off a total ‘war of the worlds’ type thing on their rowdy morning show.

Scott, Functional Consultant: Victim – http://techcrunch.com/2008/03/31/youtube-rickrolls-users/
terrible.

Marissa, Functional Consultant: One time, someone in my family put a rubber band around the spray nozzle attachment to our sink. When you turned on the sink for the first time, you’d get soaked.

Cara, Project Manager: My kids get me with this about once a month….they have the timing down to a science….I don’t always laugh…

Marissa: I changed my mind. This is my new favorite: http://www.trainsignal.com/windowstraining.aspx

Kesah, Client Manager: In the spirit of the day, I played an April Fool’s Day joke on myself this morning.  I accidentally got on the blue line train instead of the orange line.  There’s nothing like starting your day with a surprise trip to Arlington Cemetery.
