The classic 'Design' April fools was the Guardians 'San Serriffe' island.

That's sick!!!
When I worked at Banana Republic years ago, any lotion left out on our break room table was used by everybody. It'd be done in a day.
I always wanted to put a new bottle of lotion out that was instead filled with mayonnaise, glue, or liquid paper. Glue seems great because as you rubbed your hands together they'd get stuck. Mayonnaise seemed great because that shit is so hard to get off your skin. Liquid paper seemed great because it dries so fast.
I never did it, but maybe one of these days.

On April 1, 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a seven-page "special report" about San Serriffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean consisting of several semi-colon-shaped islands. A series of articles described the geography and culture of this obscure nation.
The report generated a huge response. The Guardian's phones rang all day as readers sought more information about the idyllic holiday spot. However, San Serriffe did not actually exist. The report was an elaborate April Fool's Day joke ā one with a typographical twist, since numerous details about the island (such as its name) alluded to printer's terminology.
The success of this hoax is widely credited with inspiring the British media's enthusiasm for April Foolery in subsequent years.

How about inviting a girl you like, after two months getting courage, she says yes you arrange everything and then half hour before you meet she sends a text message saying she has to cancel the dinner because it's a little intense for her?
That's what happened to me today, my 1st of fucking April...

Anyone who pulls an April Fools prank on the 2nd is getting their ears stapled down.
