APRIL FOOL'S DAY: Golden Rules for Pranking






TODAY is April 1 so I am greeting you all a Happy April Fool's Day!!!!!!!!!!! Though not a holiday but it is widely celebrated by many which is a perfect time to play all sorts of foolishness, jokes and humor on others. With this, I think it is but timely to share with you  this guideline which you may use today and forever ^_^ Have a great day and blessed a Sunday too! Hope our day will end in such a way that we'll be laughing out loud with all the funny hoaxes, jokes and tricks we will be receiving or have received already :)


THE GOLDEN RULES OF PRANKING



Plan ahead
Don't wait until April 1st to start thinking about strategies. Early planning means you'll be ready on the big day!

Prank with love
Never pull a prank with a mean spirit in your heart. Do it to get a laugh out of someone you care about. And think twice about pranking strangers --it's generally NOT cool.

Know your victim
Pranks can have consequences--make sure to think about the outcome. After the initial surprise, will your victim's reaction be positive? A successful prank should always end with your victim laughing!

Match the prank to the person
The best April Fool's gags are carefully chosen to fit the victim's personality. For instance, a car prank is perfect for someone who is fussy about their car (but make sure you don't damage their "baby"!). Or, a computer gag will work best on someone is isn't very computer savvy. Tailor your prank for the best result.

Is it harmless? Really harmless?
Once you have your prank fully planned out, stop and think.... Is there any chance that someone could get hurt? Is there any possibility that something will get damaged? Consider all outcomes before you plot your prank!

Have the video camera ready
If you can get the moment on tape you'll be able to enjoy your prank for years to come. So break out the camera...as long as it won't raise too many suspicions!

Use your best acting skills
If you don't think you'll be able to keep a straight face, pick a prank where you'll stay hidden--or recruit a helper to be the perpetrator.

Time your reveal
Enjoy the moment, and let the prank sink in before shouting out a victorious "April Fool's!" Timing is important; you don't want to call it out too early... or too late.

If caught, be gracious
Playing pranks on April Fool's Day can be tricky--they'll have their guard up. So don't be too disappointed if you're caught in the act. You'll get 'em next time!

Be ready for retribution
Expect a payback, so watch your back!
