Worst april fools ever!
Make jokes, not tears.
1st of April is a nice chance to make your friends happier and show them your outstanding sense of humor. Some of us start thinking about funny fools even from the beginning of the year! We always search for the best, craziest and interesting ones. However, we never (let’s say, rarely) think about how good and appropriate our fools are. While you are still looking for how you will amaze your friends in the beginning of the April, take a look at the worst jokes collection and try to figure out how to not break someone’s heart :)
And they say: Let’s release prisoners!
...Of course, the government did not actually do that. But that’s the story: On 1st of April in 2000, in Romanian newspaper Opinia, they wrote that all prisoners from Baia Mare will be soon released. Wives, families of prisoners (about 60 people) were so happy that they could not wait until their beloved ones will come back, so they went to Baia Mare and this is what they heard: APRIL FOOLS! Can you even imagine that?..
Fake disaster warning!
In Oregon, in 1999, Djs decided to have “a little fun” and they announced that Ochoco dam had burst, threatening downstream areas with massive flooding… people believed that at least because the same situation happened last year, so they started actively preparing for the flee. Lately, Djs said that it was just a joke...not a funny joke.
π=3.0
Well, 1998 in Alabama was significant year: New Mexicans for Science and Reasonnewsletter contained information that the Alabama state legislature changed number pi (which is equal to 3.14159…) to just 3.0. It is amazing how fast the legislature started receiving calls from almost everyone who protested against that..
Sorry, we cannot take your money. Sparrow on it is one-legged.
Yes, seriously? In the beginning of 1980, Denmark issued the 20 kroner banknote with 2 sparrows. In some banknotes one sparrow was one-legged. In 1st of April they said that all one-legged sparrow banknotes are fake, but you could actually change them before to genuine ones. The lines to the post office were so huge, so they had not enough money to exchange!
Welcome to Chicago! Wait..what?
It was nice and sunny day and people were flying to Los Angeles to have a great time, but when they were close and looked at the window before landing, they saw a huge 85-foot-long banner that says: Welcome to Chicago!
There was a panic in the whole airplane!
Banner stayed for two days.
Mmm...Yummy unicorns!
2010: online retailer ThinkGeek announced new amazing product: canned unicorn meat! They stated that meat as new “white meat”, perfect and it had sparkles in it. How beautiful! Of course, that was a joke, and they did not actually have that product, but after that announcement, it became so popular so everyone wanted to order that. So, this is what they did: they made a can (as in the picture left) and put a unicorn toy there! Good solution, but horrible initial idea!
As you can see, even from your own experience jokes are different: some of them are funny, some of them are really mean. You have to always remember that everyone is different, so you should consider his or her personality and make the best joke that will make not only make you laugh :)
