Well, today was April Fool's Day and I'm a natural prankster. Typically, I avoid doing much on April Fool's day simply because everyone is expecting it. What I do tend to do on April 1st is come up with really outrageous ideas that would end with me somehow ending up in trouble - typically losing my job. I never follow through with these ideas, but they're always good for a laugh. A good example is this: as some of you know, I'm a poor chump that works for Wal*Mart. At Wal*Mart, we have "secret" codes that we can use to communicate messages over the Intercom or via other means of communication (Most people are familiar with the "Code Adam" process). One of these codes is a "Code Brown" - which is secret code for a shooting. Now, obviously, this isn't something you'd typically page over the intercom, but you may use it over the Walkie Talkies that the managers carry, or even possibly over the instore phone system. Anywhoo, I still think it'd be a good laugh to page "Code Brown to >whatever department<" and when the management team shows up, just point and shout "April Fools" and laugh. Now I'd never do something like this, mostly because I like my job, but still, it's funny to imangine the chaos that would come of such an event.
Anywhoo, as per the thing that almost sent me to prison...
I used to work in the Photo Center, however now I sell Cell Phones (I get around!). Occasionally, I still help out in the photo center. The other day, while digging though the doors looking for something, I found this rather strange looking part (It's a heater for the film processor, btw). Today, I made a few modifications to it with some black ducttape and a kitchen timer.
Now, at first, when I put this together, we had a few laughs and threw around joking suggestions as to what I should do with it. Then, when everone else figured out that I was seriously considering doing something with it (i.e.: setting the timer for 30 mins and leaving it in the men's room on the hand dryer), everyone else got somewhat freaked out until one guy took it away and took it all apart for fear that I would really do something to get myself in trouble...
Anywhoo, that's my story. What's yours?
