    Still think that this was one of the best :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVo_wkxH9dU

    Thank you so much for that clip. I can remember everyone at school talking about this but we didn't have a TV and I felt so left out . Now I have finally seen this famous joke :)

    Years ago when I was at school we had identical twin boys in my secondary school year. They were in different classes and every April Fools Day they would swap over and sit in each other's classes. Of course many of us were privy to the joke. The idea was to fool the teachers. If they were in on it, they did a very good job of carrying on as if nothing had happened! I don't recall them ever being challenged.

    I was about twelve years old.

    And I'm not sure anyone much older than twelve should be playing daft practical jokes, just because it's April 1st.

    (yes I do know that you removed my previous post)

    I think one of mine was removed, too, and the other person who commented on the thread being revived has now been banned. Go figure..

    Once in my teens I simply set the kitchen clock 20 mins fast, (just enough to make people leg it) everyone arrived at their destination (station/school/work) early and couldn't figure out why :D:D

    My supervisor at work telling the new kid that we had to stock check and he had to count each singular coffee bean :rotfl: we had to stop him when he started doing it, thankfully he saw the funny side.
