April Fools Day: To prank or not to prank

The April 1, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
It's a day for pranksters! What's the best/worst prank you ever pulled off?
If you're not a prankster, what was the best/worst (depends how you look at it) prank ever pulled on you?

On April Fools Day
All the fools come out to play
Pranks on all their friends.

To prank or not to prank, that is the question. My answer is "No, I do not prank." I enjoy hearing about the pranks other people play and I like to watch videos and shows about pranking. One of my favorite shows is Betty White's Off Their Rockers in which senior citizens prank young people.

Happy All Fools Day
To the pranksters of the world
Make me laugh today.

What is the best or worst prank someone every pulled on me? April Fools Day was not a big thing in our family and none of the pranks (I am sure my brothers tried to pull on me) stand out in my memory. I can remember one of the pranks my Grandfather said he and his friends pulled on Halloween when he was a teenager. They put a neighbor's horse and carriage on top of the neighbor's roof; I am sure it was a Halloween prank and not an April Fools Day prank because Grandpa always told the story on Halloween.

Be an April Fool
Do something funny and cool
And make someone laugh.
