Practical Jokes Play People Gun April Companies Playing

People often play practical jokes at work. They sometimes play jokes because they are bored or want to make fun of other people. In some companies, there is a "culture" of playing jokes on the other employees. Many people expect it and aren't bothered by it. In other companies, playing these kind of practical jokes is considered inappropriate or wrong.

Some common practical jokes in a business office include hiding something from someone, putting signs on someone's back without the person knowing, taking off a part of someone's clothing, or using a squirt gun to shoot water at someone. (A squirt gun is a small plastic toy in the shape of a gun that shoots water.) Practical jokes can also include telling someone a false story in order to get them to do something. Perhaps the most famous type of practical joke is using a "whoopee cushion." A whoopee cushion is a small pillow that makes a funny noise when you sit on it.

One of the most common days to play a practical joke on someone is April Fools' Day. April Fools' Day is April 1, a day traditionally that people play practical jokes on each other.
