We've all been caught out at least once in our lives right? So what tricks have people played on you that you fell for?

When I was younger I fell for a newspaper hook, line and sinker claiming that The Proclaimers were in fact NOT twins. Just two guys who looked a lot like each other. Yeah feel stupid looking back 😄

The best one I ever came across landed a radio station in a shit load of trouble. City FM in Liverpool announced that steps( meaning the group) where going to appear at st George's hall on a particular day next week (they didn't mention the date) needless to say, thousands of kids were kept off school, parents had taken time off work, thrown sickies and there was absolute grid lock outside of st George's hall on that particular day. Eventually people started to realise that they were looking at the steps that led up to st George's hall.🤣🤣🤣

They always had a good one on BBC but alas in these times of the nation having it's sense of humour removed by cancel cultureists, we are no longer allowed to laugh at ourselves or others stupidity.

You are totally right, you are allowed a sense of humour. You just have to be very careful whom you express it with, for fear of offending or upsetting some rightous tit... It smacks of the proabition days in the USA when they had speakeasys 🤣.... Fear, it's the best way to divide and conquer...even at the cost of free speech and cancel culture!

The one that always gets brought up is one Panorama did in the 60s (I think) where they showed Italian farmers harvesting spaghetti. It showed them plucking spaghetti from a tree and putting it in baskets 😄

Got a call many years ago from a nursing home we supplied equipment to on 1st April.

They wanted to know if we could install a condom machine.

I knew straight away it was a wind up but I told them we didn't supply condom machines but I would pass the details on to a company we worked closely with who would.

That was that as far as I was concerned.

I was tempted to contact the other company anyway just to see if they would fall for it but I didn't bother.

Two days later when one of my staff was in the home servicing other equipment he was asked by the manager if there was any update on the condom machine.

He just laughed and said he would check it out but assumed the manager was joking.

The following week they called again to say they had just realised the original call had been on April fools day and we must have thought it was a prank but they were deadly serious.

I called the company who could supply them and they weren't in the least bit surprised and said they had machines in a number of retirement and nursing homes. 😳😀

The older I get the less surprised I am that care/nursing homes need condom machines.

A friend has just shared one from his WhatsApp group that is even too dark for me.

A lad told everyone this morning that one of their friends died in a car crash last night

There's lots of retirement homes that take over 55s or even over 50s. That's half of Fabs key demographic so don't knock the rubbers ! 🤣

The RNLI have done a good one on Facebook.

'help us choose a new siren sound to help casualties feel calm"

Choices include the Thunderbirds or Danger mouse theme among others

Eleiko, who make high end Olympic weightlifting equipment do a superb April fool every year.

A quick Google will send you in the right direction, if you're interested.

A sports magazine did one once. They said for strength training it was good to run with one foot on the kerb, the other in the road.

Some gullible people tried it and struggled with drains etc. I don’t think anyone was brave enough to admit to injury 🏃‍♂️

Sounds very irresponsible to me as quite dangerous waling on a road like that even only woth one foot

The Proclaimers aren't twins. They're genetic mutations that escaped from a top secret government research lab. Its where The Cheeky Girls came from too.

My sister did the classic plug a wireless mouse and keyboard into my pc and messed with me for weeks, well after April fools last year.

Lost my mind, convinced myself that I had joint failure in my hands when I started missing my shots in games.

Only noticed when I went in to change the water in the cooling loop.

Need to get her back this year, did think about hair removal cream in shampoo but that's a level of escalation that I'm not ready for yet.

Many years ago I turned up at work and had a post-it note on my desk asking me to give a Mr C Lyon a call back. Nothing unusual in that at all, we often left messages for each other that way.

So I duly rang the number... and informed the person on the other end I was returning Mr C Lyon's call... which turned out to be Knaresborough Zoo!

If it was rhetorical then I assume you did / do a lot of weights. Else I really don’t know
