April Fools Day: Pranks
built 236 days ago
The April Fools Day hoaxes are only pranks and fair games. Nowadays, different media houses too organize such fun games to entertain public. There are a number of monthly journals too, which prepare such things too in their April version.
With April Fools Day right around the corner, it's time to start planning which pranks to pull on the neighbors. The best pranks are done with the cartography of your particular trailer park in mind.

Fun and helpful, bloodletting is one of the classic April Fools Day pranks. Simply apply a needle and blood-draining tube to a sleeping man's arm, and let the magic happen. When he awakes, for extra giggles, you can attach fake leeches (actually disguised used hypodermic needles) to him (or her, no sexism here).
