The Wall Paper Joke
Take a screenshot of your friend’s desktop and make it their desktop wallpaper. Minimize any open applications and hide all of the desktop icons or ferret them away in a folder — don’t delete anything. Then, set the Windows taskbar to auto-hide. Go to Control Panel, click on Taskbar & Start Menu then choose “Auto hide.” On a Mac OS X machine, go into System Preferences, click on Dock and choose “Automatically hide and show Dock.” Hang out somewhere close by so you can hear the frustrated clicking grow louder and more urgent.

Send this link and tell them to look closely.

    Good night, Happy April Fool’s Day!!

    Three friends were at the bar talking, and after many rounds of beer, one of them suggests that everyone admits something they have never admitted to anyone.
    “Okay,” says the first, “I’ve never told anybody I’m a gay!”
    The second confesses, “I’m having an affair with my boss’s wife.”
    The third, Moishe, begins, “I don’t know how to tell you…”
    “Don’t be shy,” the two friends said.
    “Well,” says Moishe, “I can’t keep secrets.”

    Happy April Fool’s Day!
