Did You Get Pranked?

   I didn't precipitate any pranks on my co-workers. That's not to say several pranks weren't played around our office this morning. In fact, our program director arrived today to find his office had been stuffed with furniture including a couch from the staff lounge, several office chairs, and quite a few glasses full of water on the floor. It took him about half an hour or so to clear everything.
    The on-air prank pulled by morning announcer Danny Ismond was a good one. The Canadian government got rid of the penny a few years ago, and Danny said the mint was going to scrap the nickle as well. He also asked for input on the idea which, as you can imagine, saw folks were not in favour of such a move.
   I came close to being pranked, but wasn't. Someone set up a compressed air air-horn in the mens restroom with the trigger button placed so anyone opening the door would set it off. I guess I didn't open the door with enough force going in, and noticed the booby-trap on the way out.
   I've heard of some very creative ones in the past, like a former colleague walking naked down the street. His dog's name was "naked". And there was the one I heard about in Thunder Bay, Ontario (before my time there) where the cruise ship "Pacific Princess", which was used in the TV show "The Love Boat" was paying a courtesy call to the Lakehead. People were lining the hills overlooking the harbour waiting for the ship to appear over the horizon. Problem was, the vessel was so big, it couldn't pass through the locks on the lower lakes.
   Hope you survived April Fools Day.
