Pranklopedia April Fools' Countdown: Prank #7
Phone Fun
This prank lets you freeze your victim’s phone (temporarily!). You'll need to choose a victim who has trusted you with the password to their phone (and who has a fine sense of humor).
Start by taking a screenshot of the phone's home screen.
Drag all the folders and apps to the right until they move to the next screen.
Find the screenshot you just took in the Photos app and set it as the home wallpaper.
Then put the phone back where you found it and act very concerned when your victim tries in vain to use it.

Don't Just Kick Me!
No one knows exactly when or how April Fools’ Day got started, but it goes back at least 250 years in France, England, and Scotland. The Scots were especially keen on the idea, and extended the celebration to two days. The second day was devoted to pranks involving people’s hindquarters, and some say it was the Scots who made the first Kick Me sign.
There’s nothing wrong with a good Kick Me sign, but if you’ve pulled that prank a few too many times, try taping one of these signs to your victim’s back instead.
Ask me if you can use my cell phone.
Ask me for a dollar.
Tell me I look like ____________.

Ask me if I speak French.
