It's neither here nor there for me. Some jokes are very funny - others are downright cruel and insensitive. One heck of a mixed bag.

It's okish. I never minded it at home, but being in the college dorm is always worrisome.

Luckily I've got awesome roomates :)

I think I'll post signs in the elevators, "Caution: Variable Gravity Area."

I don't hate it; I don't know enough people to be pranked. I'm always nervous that I will be, though, and it sort of sets me on edge a bit. For god's sakes, people, it's hard enough to tell you're joking when it should be OBVIOUS, let alone when it's a sneaky April Fool's thing.

April Fool pranks are hilarious IF you are not caught in the act by the intended prankee. Otherwise, it will not be funny at all and you'll be forced to clean up whatever mess you made.

"Dry messes" are okay for pranks; "wet messes" should be avoided. Anyone with experience will know what I mean.

Now that's funny.
I just hate April Fool's Day because people can be so mean, and we can be so gullible. I mean, trusting and taking things literally.

I hate it. I hate it because I'm so sodding gullible and I get taken in every time. It's usually only newspaper headlines that get me though, because nobody around me is mean enough. I was really pleased today because I realised before anything had taken me in.

yeah but it's all in good fun (if someone fools me I don't think it's mean. If they wanted to be mean they'd ignore me and fail to acknowledge my existence.

I don't like pranks, and I can't grasp said jokes very well! I always hated this season. Course I also hated Saint Patrics day in Grade school because bullies liked to hurt me with pinching back then. I mean, you're just minding your own business and 'pinch' again and again. owie. One kid made me feel so mad once. It was fools day, and he pinched me while I was minding my own business. "Oops, I forgot, it's April." :x Little brat! Those days made me really feel like not going to school. :( Good GOD I hope I don't get pranked at work!

No one's ever been able to successfully prank me so I've never had a problem with it. When I was younger, however, I used to pull some really great pranks on people! But nowadays, I feel too mature to do anything like this.

I only like it if it's not utterly mean-spirited or something.

The elevator signs for instance sound great.
