Life
April Fools' Day is the one day out of 365 a year it's acceptable to play the cruelest, coldest, most scare-inducing pranks on your closest friends. Any other day of the year, it's imperative to have a heart; otherwise, you probably wouldn't have any friends to play pranks on when Apr. 1 rolls around. The biggest challenge to this fateful day lies within the ill-fated question: What pranks will you play?
Some pranks require much thought, time, effort, and execution, and those pranks only warrant playing out every few years or so. Jokes are fun to play and even funnier to watch play out, but there are responsibilities to tend to, people to see, and first dates to be had – there just isn't always enough time in the day for a well-played prank.
This year, take the load off. You can still be funny without the hassle. With little effort and big reward, you can embarrass, scare, annoy, and irritate the hell out of the people you love most. All it takes is a straight face and some strategic moves to make April Fools' Day a total success.
Without further ado, here are a few super easy pranks for to play on your friends April Fools' Day 2017. Embellish at your own risk.
