See with april fools you have to think big. You can&#39;t pull out the obviously fake without putting some credibility behind it. Now our original plan was altered by a last minute &quot;adjustment&quot; by my boss.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The plan: Trick elder co worker into thinking EVERYONE (save for one employee) called out sick or absent for whatever reason. The original plan was that we would all call out for whatever odd reason and then my boss would call in and act suprised to know everyone was out when he called to &quot;check up&quot; on how the morning was going.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Here&#39;s where he altered it. He called ahead of us and had alerted our elderly co-worker to the fact that me, and two other guys at work were on Double secret probation (this went over his head). He began to ask why. My boss explained that he caught all three of us in a nefarious sexual love triangle in the back room. And our other coworker, well she just liked to watch. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;At first he questioned the reality of this event but my boss had said to him we might not come in out of embarassment or something of the sort. Well... when the calls started to come in he was made a believer! He actually called his wife and pastor to arrange counseling! &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;At the &quot;bell&quot; (9:00am) we all walked in the back door and came up and yelled april fools. He started laughing and told us what my boss had done (we didn&#39;t know!) to spice up the prank.
