If You Ask Me

February 2, 2017 - What's the best prank you've ever pulled on someone?

It was on April 1, 2000; I waited until twenty minutes before I was supposed to be at work and called. Heidi, the receptionist, answered. I told her that someone had broken into the house and stolen every piece of clothing I owned, even the dirty stuff. I was calling in naked. She was incensed and hung up on me before I could finish.

When I walked in the building, I could hear her ranting and railing about how I just didn't want to work that day and made up a ridiculous story. She was still furious. As I passed her on the way to my office, I said, "Good morning... oh, and April Fool's!"

Everyone else laughed and Heidi didn't speak to me the rest of the day.
