    Friends Do A Kidnapping Prank - NYPD Goes Into Red Alert.

    And they are in big trouble too...

    The thing about reenacting a movie trope in real life, is that real life consequences will follow. Always. Because it's not a movie. Gravity, judgement, debt, concerned witnesses, police, repercussions all exist. So when friends of Cristian Joe thought it might be in their best interest to just throw caution to the winds to revive a 10-year-old, scripted Will Ferrell/Vince Vaughn stunt from Old School, they were surprised at the result. After Joe learned of his friends' plans for a weekend getaway to celebrate his birthday, they decided to "throw him off" the trail with a kidnapping. Five of Joe's friends approached Joe and his girlfriend on Haven Ave., sauntering down the street with some groceries on a lovely Friday evening at 7 p.m. The friends lept out of a rented van, pulled a pillowcase over Joe's head, and sped off into the night towards a weekend of merrymaking.
    Understandably, bystanders thought they were witnessing a full-fledged kidnapping in Washington Heights, so they alerted the NYPD. The NYPD proceeded to spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of man hours in order to save an ostensible victim from masked kidnappers. The unsuccessful manhunt involved helicopters, emergency service cops, and even a commandeered Columbia University building as a designated base.
    Meanwhile, a group of several college friends were wilding out in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania, celebrating Cristian Joe's 30th birthday. When the party-goers returned to New York City on Sunday, they were shocked to see a video of the kidnapping posted all over the news. Then, what was surely one of the more sheepish phone calls in history, one of them called the police to let them know.
    "They kept talking about, ‘Let's do it like the movie Old School!" reported Diana DeJesus, 55, the mother of the girlfriend of the "victim" (victim of hilarity!). "It was really very innocent," she continued, "Then, when it was all over the media, they were shocked." At having gotten away with a stupidly crude kidnapping or that they weren't living the plot of a decade-old-buddy-frat-romp?
    Not smart.

    Girl Pranks Boyfriend "I'm Pregnant" Then Stabs Him in the Neck.

    I think people are losing the idea of April Fool's Day...

    She thinks it'll be a hoot to scare her boyfriend by telling him she's pregnant then gets pissed and stabs him - with a knife he gave her.

    An Oklahoma teen who thought it would be funny to fool her boyfriend into believing she was pregnant suddenly got serious halfway into her own April 1st prank and ditched the gag in favor of stabbing him in the neck instead.
    Authorities in Wagoner County say Tori Wheeler, 18, started off by telling her beau Derek Bauer that she was with child, and followed that up by brandishing a knife in his direction and threatening him with physical harm.
    Wheeler later insisted to deputies that it was all a lark up until the point that Bauer became angry and threatened to call the cops.
    A fight ensued, during which Wheeler allegedly stabbed Bauer in the neck (with a knife he gave her as a gift) and bit him several times.
    Wheeler was subsequently arrested on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
    And yes there's a pic of the injury with stitches. He should've given her lawn furniture.

    The I Killed My Hubby, Help Me Bury Him April Fools Joke

    So, her sister called the cops. Hilarity (?) ensues...

    Okay, okay, last one. But it's a good'un.
    A Kingsport, Tennessee woman who prides herself on pulling April Fools' Day jokes "all the time" went a shade too far when she told her sister she had murdered her husband and needed help disposing of the body.
    "I said 'Helen, I shot my husband, I'm cleaning up the mess, let's go bury him in Blackwater,'" Susan Hudson recalled to 19News' Cody Weddle. "Next thing I knew, there was law everywhere. The response was excellent."
    Police had their guns drawn on Hudson's house, as they slowly entered the residence to find the 52-year-old woman having just barely hung up the phone.
    She was temporarily cuffed and placed in the back of a squad car, but her husband's return from work helped corroborate her alibi.

    Borderline being the keyword here.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    She's borderline something all right.

    But "hot"? Nah. At least, not until they strap her into the chair and fry her sorry ass.
