April Fools’ Day is here again! Rub Vaseline on the toilet seat so your roommate slips off, put tape under your co-worker’s mouse so the laser tracker doesn’t work or fill your co-worker’s office with streamers and balloons and shout “SURPRISE” at the top of your lungs! Stan isn’t a fan of that last prank, but whatever you do have fun and enjoy some of these rockin’ events this weekend too!
