What’s your favorite April Fool’s Day prank?

Chastity Cook
security guard | West Oak Lane
"Someone at work brought in several different outfits. Throughout the day, she’d change into a different outfit and act like nothing was out of the ordinary. People were looking at her like, ‘What’s going on, girl?’ She just went about her business, nonchalantly."


Lila James
student | Claymont, Del.
"Switching the ladies’ and men’s signs for a restroom. It was funny to see the expression on people’s faces after they walked out. It got people to appreciate their privacy more."


Jeni Mattingly
salesperson | South Philadelphia
"My friend translated a racy sex book from Spanish to English. She used her friend’s name as her pen name. He was shocked when she gave him a copy of the book and his name was on the cover. He had no idea his name would be on a book containing graphic sex tips!"


Haden Reed
assistant store manager | Fishtown
"Pretending to be a born-again Christian, and that I want to become straight. And that I want to repent all of my sins. That’s something that will never happen in reality. But it’s a good prank that strikes people as absurd."
