April Fools Day Contest Winner Announced

Thanks to everyone who participated in Katalinas Communication’s April Fools Day #bestprank contest!

We’re happy to announce that Scott Chappelear has won. Here’s a description of his contest entry:

“Some of the people in his department snuck out and used a lot of excess newsprint to fill his car and wrap it completely. Here’s a photo of the aftermath as he discovered it.”

Contest overview:

It’s the time of year when putting a whoopee cushion on your boss’s chair won’t get you fired,

when tying your kids’ shoes together is OK and when the sneered refrain of a common catchphrase is acceptable – for most people, anyway.

That’s right, April Fool’s Day is in sight.

Ah, the day of practical jokes. Pranks. Shenanigans. How many times have you been dubbed a “fool” for falling prey to an “April Fool’s” joke?

Growing up, I seemed to have more than my fair share of pranks pulled on me each April 1. Maybe it’s because the day is synonymous with my birthday. Either way, I grew accustomed to being the butt of jokes on that day.

As such, I think I’ve seen and heard every April Fool’s joke and prank known to man.

But, I’m willing to bet there’s at least one good one out there that I don’t know about (yet).

That’s where you come in. I want to hear your ideas for the best practical joke or prank.
