Google's April Fool for 2010 (plus others)

One from our CFO :)

 

The XXXXXX facility has presented us with some challenges already this year, such as the snow filled car park, false fire alarms and no heating. This latest development with the toilet facilities will therefore come as little surprise, yet could be the most trying event to date.

 

XXXXX is carrying out a major refit of all the toilets and plumbing, which will close the usual facilities for a month starting on Monday. They will instead provide each tenant with its own dedicated toilet facility.

 

Therefore, over this coming weekend, building contractors will be on site to convert the current small kitchen within our office into a toilet. We will of course be moving the coffee machine, although the fridge needs to remain within the dual kitchen/toilet. Please also note these additional small complications:

• The absence of mains plumbing requires the installation of a portable toilet & sink. A rota will be published in which all will be expected to participate in the daily slopping out.

• While the glass door may add to concerns about privacy, at least we will know whether it is vacant or occupied.

• For environmental purposes, please place all used toilet paper in the recycle bin.

• It is a unisex facility. The default toilet seat position is ‘up’ – girls please note.

• Sound proofing may be a concern to some people, so a hi-fi unit can play suitable music to mask any unfortunate sounds.

Music includes the Waterboys (The Whole of the Moon), Muddy Waters (Still a Fool), or the Devices Team do a great live song and dance act of Singing in the Rain.

 

I trust you will adopt this change with enthusiasm from the heart of your bottom.

I was sure that the Toyota magazine was a fake. No mention of a publisher or distributor. Some people the I know who would know if it was real have never heard of it and TBH it's not the right time to go launching niche publications.

 

Very elaborate if so but may ultimately be true.

My girlfriend made the wise decision not to inform me that she was pregnant as an 'April Fools' joke. I therefore think I narrowly avoided a heart attack today. Thank god this only happens once a year, and to think I was going to replace the sugar in her coffee with salt this morning. I'm so glad I didn't.

The same happened to me last year, I could have slapped her.

 

We're not together any more, completely unrelated of course ;)

Of course :eyebrows: wouldn't blame you if you had dumped her based on that April Fools stunt. Her name wasn't Kim btw :D

 

Some people don't get that its practical jokes that work and are taken the right way. Heavy handed 'shocks to the system' don't go down well. I wonder how she would have reacted if I told her that her dad was involved in a car crash - probably the same way I would have if she'd informed me she was pregnant.
