If you're going to try and take money from your company by convincing your boss that your wife was ill with cancer and that she eventually died, you may want to fill your wife in on your master plan.

It would be great to listen in on this guys next interview for whatever job he applies for when they ask him if he had ever been arrested and for what. "I... uh... was arrested for stealing money from my old employer by telling them my wife died of cancer." Definitely not the best career move. His only chance is to hope they either don't ask that question or at least don't ask for details. Of course, he doesn't seem the brightest of individuals, so his job opportunities were likely already pretty slim.

The best response to a grocery store employee's concerns about your lack of sampling etiquette is probably not to grab them, apply pressure to their shoulders, and then shake them.

So the employee confronted the man because he was using his hands to sample food? At my grocery store that's pretty much all you can use. I guess at the produce section they have some pretzels that you can use to poke the pieces of fruit you want to try, but every where else is pretty much finger food. With that said, I'd like to think I wouldn't go nuts and attack any employees that came up to me to tell me otherwise. Of course, I guess I'll never know unless I'm put in that situation.

Time for another shameless plug here. I've just relaunched my Home Poker System website with a new design, new features, and a new paid version that offers even more customization and flexibility to those poker leagues out there looking for a bit more.

I know it's not really office humor related, but I know a lot of coworkers like to get together for some poker home games so maybe a few of you are interested in checking it out. There is a free version of the site so there's no cost in trying it for yourself to see if it'll help you make your home games more fun and easier to manage.

What a better day to pull off an office prank than Mother's Day right? Okay, so maybe it isn't the obvious choice for a perfectly timed prank, but if you're in the mood to embarass some coworkers, maybe Mother's Day will soon be your favorite holiday.

Because Mother's Day falls on a Sunday, most of you probably won't be in the office on the actual holiday. As such, you'll probably want to pull this off on the Friday before. What you'll want to do is buy a Mother's Day card that's for newly pregnant people and fill in the name of a female coworker you want to be one of the victims of your prank. The coworker needs to not be pregnant or have kids. Then, sign a bunch of your coworkers' names to the card and find another coworker to be the other victim. Tell this person that a bunch of your coworkers got together and signed a Mother's Day card for so-and-so (the initial victim).

Because that person isn't a mom, your coworker will be a little confused. Either they will feel really embarassed that they didn't know the person was pregnantand won't ask any questions or they will confront you about it. Either way, you want to come right out and basically shame them for not knowing the person was pregnant and that it was a pretty big deal and that everybody already congratulated her and everything.

Now you just sit back and wait for the fireworks. Obviously you'll not want to hand the supposed pregnant person the card because it has your name and a bunch of coworker's names all over it and would then be a dead giveaway. Instead, you just wait for the person you had sign the card to make a move to congratulate the no-quite-pregnant coworker. It may take a few days but you'll have planted a seed that will eventually grow into one heck of an embarassing conversation that will surely make some waves.

If you're worried about hurting the feelings too much of the female that you're pretending to be pregnant (because she may take it as looking fat or whatnot), then you can get the female in on the joke and have her just act incredibly upset when the person congratulates her on being pregnant.

There are good ways to react when being fired and then there are bad ways. Stripping down naked is never a good reaction to being let go. Doing so when you're a teacher at an elementary school is probably much worse.

Luckily the teacher got naked after the kids went home, though I'm sure all the kids already know about it. Of course, stripping is at least a non violent way to react when we keep hearing about shootings and such.

Pretending to be too disabled to work is nothing new. People have been doing it probably for as long as there has been work to do. Of course, usually you'd try and keep your lies a secret rather than posting evidence on a blog that you've been scamming your ex husband out of alimony.

Some of the quotes from the woman's testimony definitely point to her missing a few marbles. When you post online that "belly dancing is the reason why [you] adore [yourself] so much," then I'm going to go ahead and say you've got more issues to deal with than just alimony payments.

Last week I posted a link to survey results showing some pretty oddball questions some people have to go through during the interview process. This week I bring you news of a company looking for web coders that has one very unique request - nudity required.

The link above goes to the video report detailing how the company is requiring all employees (and all potential employees during the interview process) to leave their clothes at home. The owner claims the desire to create a nudist supportive environment, though you always have to wonder if something more sinister is at work when nudity is involved.

I say good for him if it's actually non sexual in nature and purely for comfort and principals. Of course, you'd have to think potential sexual harassment issues would be enough of a deterrent to attempt such an office policy.

In a tough job market you better be ready to wow potential employers during the interview process. Of course, that may be easier said than done if they decide to throw out an oddball question specifically designed to rattle you.

I've actually already heard of some of the questions mentioned in the article, such as "How do you weigh an elephant without using a weight machine?" though there are a few pretty funny ones in there that I think you could have some fun with if you were ever asked.

For instance, if they asked you "Rate on a scale of 1 to 10 how weird you are.", I'd say "10" and then follow it by "but I won't tell you whether or not 1 or 10 is the weird end of the scale."

Or for the Google question "How many basketballs can you fit in this room?" I'd say with a completely straight and somber face "None. I'm actually deathly allergic to the material basketballs are made from. Both my sister and I are... I mean were. She died when she was seven due to a freak basketball related accident."

I mean think about it. If you were an employer asking one of these types of questions, your goal is twofold. First, you want to see how the candidate thinks on their feet. And second, you want to see a little bit of their personality shine thru. If you are able to entertain your interviewer with a clever, quirky answer, you can guarantee they won't forget you.

In case you hadn't heard, Borders recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February. As such, many stores having been slowly closing down. An employee at once such store decided to post a sign telling customers there are no restrooms and to try Amazon instead.

It's definitely a funny sign even if it does seem motivated by a little bitterness. Many thought Amazon would be the death of brick-and-mortar book stores and it has been for quite a few. It's definitely a little sad to see such a big chain like Borders go bye bye, but then again, they were the death of a lot of smaller book stores when they first came around so maybe it's a little karma going on.

Nick has sent in an infographic that covers some past April Fool's Day internet pranks as well as the this years top April Fool's internet pranks. It's also got a list of Google's pranks for each year, which are usually some of the most celebrated jokes every April Fool's Day.

If the large graphic is too tough to read, you can also check out a good list of top pranks websites have done below the graphic. Sites like YouTube, Groupon, ThinkGeek, and Reddit all make an appearance.

Of course, the day has just begun so there is sure to be a whole bunch more online pranks coming. Just remember to keep that in mind every time you read a headline today that seems too good (or bad) to be true.
