April Fool's day

So I work with this doctor who thinks he is great. And in fact, he is very ungreat. He bothers me, and pretty much everyone who works with him. He is the type who gives his loooong opinions no matter if they have been sought for or not, the type who thinks he is hysterical. But, he is in fact the board certified deliverer of babies, so I guess we tolerate him as it would be highly illegal for any of us to do it without him. I hate it when you need people you can't stand. grr. Today, in all of his self-perceived funniness, he decided to play some april fool's joke on the nursing staff at the hospital.

Joke number one: He told our floor manager that he had been discussing with one of the most notoriously bad OBs in the area, and that this bad doctor had expressed desires to practice with him and start bringing his patients to our hospital. As the horror filled this poor lady's face at the thought of having to deal with such a horrible doc he burst into laughter. All of us who were around just stared in unbelief.

Joke number two: Later in the day he called from his clinic and talked frantically about a pregnant patient of his who was due with triplets in 6 weeks who had gone into labor that he was going to send over. Now, the nurse who answered was probably the only one who would have bought this...because please....he does NOT make his own phone calls. Some poor girl making minimum wage does his dirty work. The nurse hung up and started frantically gathering up staff and equipment to prepare for this intense situation. Then about five minutes later we all convinced her to call back and ask him if it was a joke. He laughed even more hysterically that she had taken him seriously. What a butthead.

on NPR (I know, I'm a nerd) they were doing a cast about april fool's jokes people had done. They had an April Fool's day "expert" on to give us tips on great pranks to play. I only heard a smidgin of what he said....

Put post-it notes on the bottom of the laser mouses at work... then sit back and watch everyone get frustrated at technology....then duck as they toss staplers at you when they realize what you've done.

What good April Fool's day jokes have you seen? I need good ideas for next year!!
