I used to get so into April Fool's Day pranks when I worked in a doctor's office. We'd tell the docs on their half day off, this patient was their last and then load them up with more patient charts. Muttering something like there was a mix up in scheduling. I know it sounds pretty lame but at the time, so funny. Best prank I pulled back then was 8 months after I quit and went to college full time (yes, at age 30) I called the office, putting on a cranky voice. I imitated a patient that just drove us nuts, very demanding, never taking no for an answer, even if the doctor was out of town. That sort of person. I persisted in demanding an appt., right away, with my good friend Betty (who became a second mom to me) and then I just couldn't keep it up. Began laughing so hard. She knew it was me - she screamed into the phone - MARY!!!! OH YOU!!!!! We've had 2 work reunions since then (this was a big group, 6 surgeons, 4 offices) and this story usually comes up. I couldn't top that one so I quit my pranking. (I was using a public phone on campus, can you imagine overhearing that conversation? LOL) Oh how I loved this day.......
