    Go ahead and post the best jokes that have gotten you, today or before, in real life or on the internet.

    I just got fooled by a "Bit Torrent members only, keep up your ratio" site that I belong to. They send me a message that they had too many members and the tracker was crashing so they randomly decided to delete some accounts. Bastards. I was worried there for a minute since I'm addicted to the speeds and variety of their torrents.

    I've seen a bunch of them today, although none of them tricked me since I kind of knew they were jokes beforehand. Here are some of the ones I've seen (mostly video game related):

    When I was about 14 I called my mom at work and told her I was in jail for some random BS I can't remember now. She went through the roof. It was awesome, but I probably aged her a few years with that one.

    I remember on the Mix a few years back with Rhoula and Ryan (man I miss them), they did an April Fool's joke..came w/ a story that the Sam Houston Tollway would be changing their rates for passenger vehicles. Instead of a dollar per toll, it'd be a dollar per passenger per car. That got me pretty good, in fact it got A LOT of people pretty good.

    And changing clutchfans to a spurs fansite will always be a classic in my book.

    My sister got me today. She told me she was pregnant. Called because she "really needed someone to talk to". I was a big sucker :).

    A friend at work is worried sick about her prankster friend in another town... He's not above faking his own death.

    That's pretty damn big if it turns out to be a joke.

    Adult Swim right now. They've inserted perfectly timed fart noises into their serious animes and I'm absolutely dying of laughter! :D

    I paged the boss of the Grocery Store I work at (I work in the sub shop of the grocery store) today...As soon as she called back, I picked up the phone, said "April Fool's!" and hung up. :D

    I was at a club tonight watching some bands play when over the speakers someone says, "This is a raid. Everyone come to the front and show your ID. You better not try and run."

    Didn't really scare me, the only thought that went through my mind was "crap, I don't want to deal with this."

    Afterwards a guy there was like, "Yeah, so I called my folks earlier and told them my girlfriend's pregnant. They freaked." :D
