Practical jokes can be pretty funny. You just have to be careful who you play them on. They are not for every one. A sense of humor is key. Try to fit your joke to the person. Just keep in mind, if you strike first, you are fair game. Be prepared for retalliation.

Fake scratch lottery tickets can be found about anywhere. No matter how you scratch the ticket, you win. Your victim will be tickled to death. Let them jump around for a minute. Then instruct them to flip the card over. On the back of the card, it will tell them they have been tricked.

For those who do not act their age, shower them with baby gifts. You could get them a bottle, a pacifier, or even diapers. This will make them think twice the next time they start to whine.

Get about ten boxes that will fit into each other. Wrap them one at a time and put them inside the next box. Keep doing this until every box is in another. Now, give your gift to your friend. They will unwrap until their face is blue and still come up with nothing. This is annoying but still pretty funny.

Fake love letters are a big hit! If you are going to do this, make sure it won't cause problems if they have a spouse. You can also print up some fake bills on the computer. Mail these to someone and watch them squirm.

Adult novelty items are always a hit. For male friends, get a blow up doll for a man. If you have a flat chested lady friend, you can get breast enhancement pills for a lady. You could pick from a variety of adult toys. They even have shaped novelty suckers. This one may be a bit uncomfortable for some people, so make sure they can take a joke first.

There are many jokes you can play on someone. You can buy whoopie cushions, fake vomit, gum, shocking lighters or even trick ink pens. Have fun and laugh. If you offend someone, apologize. Try not to make any enemies today. Happy April Fool's Day.
