April Fool's day pranks?
Don,
That would have been on the same shelf as the striped paint, left-handed hammers and pickled eel sandwiches...
Did your lovely wife 'see' the joke, once you'd replenished the fluid in the headlights?
The new guy managed to find a "long stand" in the parts catalogue, and ordered one having been told to obtain said part. It ended up costing his boss some staggering sum of money!

The purpose of the game was to get to a certain pub in the town he lived in, run up to the bar and shout "Show me the money!". If he could do this in 10 minutes he would win £500.
We sat ourselves in the corner of the bar and waited, sure enough about 8 minutes later in runs this guy, shouting "Show me the money!" to a very bemused barman, who obviously had no idea. This only prompted the guy to carry on shouting, until he saw us out of the corner of his eye...
Apparently.
I once mailed an especially gullible aunt
Reminds me of and April Fools letter I sent donkeys years ago, my younger sister was due to leave school at Easter and couldnt wait, my mother was also looking forward to her getting a job and finally contributing to her keep, My sister had had a lot of abscences in her last year and I got a girl in my works office to type up a letter, supposedly from the education authority saying my sister would have to stay on at school until summer to make up for the lost days
We arranged a photo shoot and write up which had to be brief as Olaf Pilor - said chef - spoke little English and had a very tight schedule.
Second Chef Robbie was dressed in full whites with a dodgy blonde wig and told to grunt a lot and look angry.This he did as he was wetting himself with nerves - reporter and cameraman were ushered in and quickly out again.I gave details and the following Wednesday - April 1st - the story broke.My boss lost his bottle ( Italian !! Nuff said !! ) and had phoned the Globe - but they were so tickled they ran it anyway AND the following week we got another 1/2 page saying how much they had enjoyed the spoof.Brilliant reaction and great advertising for the Hotel.

My best has to be the one in which I "conned" the local freepaper - the Wirral Globe - into believing that an old college chum - new chef to the President of the US - was stopping off on his book signing tour ( An Elk in the Kitchen ) to say hi to me at our hotel.
