April fools wrong and right.

My wife is blind, so April Fools is just too easy one year. It was chocolate-covered Brussels sprouts and a Cadbury bar with vinegar squirted into it with a needle. This year was more fun. I got some Japanese. I think it's Japanese Oreo cookies, strawberry-flavored, covered in 60% decent chocolate all while she was sleeping. It was going to be a surprise on the flavor, but the bag smells so much like strawberry that I gave it away, but it was fine. They tasted good. They also have peach and strawberry/blueberry, and I think matcha. matcha would have been the mean one.

That isn't Japanese on the package. Those Oreos are made in China.

Best one I ever pulled was on my SIL.

To set the table, she is snooty know-it-all who believes she is intellectually superior to everyone else. Basically she is a beeeotch.

She worked as an Office Manager for a metal fabrication company. And she hates people who back into parking spaces. Mainly because they hold her up.

And since she worked for a company where most of the workers were blue-collar guys who drove trucks, she waited a lot while they backed in. (It never occurred to her that they pull out and are gone quickly). So basically it annoyed the living out of her.

So one year leading up to April Fools I called her boss and told him I had an idea for a great April Fool’s joke.

So on April 1, he called her in his office and told her due to safety reasons, all employees have to back in their parking spaces in the company lots. He asked her to send out a memo and get him pricing on signs for the lot.

He let her stew on this until lunch and then he told her. He probably would have waited longer, but she was being a beeeotch squared.

It wasn’t April 1, but I once pranked co-workers who had attached a fake spider to the mouth piece of my telephone handset. (I’m arachnophobic.)

I went into the staff bathroom, which had just one toilet, and unrolled the paper from the adjacent dispenser. Next, I taped said spider in place and re-wound the roll so the arachnid was no longer visible.

My colleague reacted as expected and admitted that I’d retaliated successfully.

And I don't think Oreos are that big in Japan. At least I can't find any Oreos with Japanese packaging. Kit Kats though... so many options.

I do like these smaller boxes of Oreos though. Local H-mart stocks Korean Oreos, and there's some overlap with the Chinese ones.
