iBoss April Fools

2014 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Knowing that my manager is not the brightest person in the world, I decided to play an April Fools Day joke involving an "iPad".

After purchasing my own iPad, I took the cardboard insert (with photo-realistic image) that comes with the device and placed it inside a case.

I went to my manager's office and let her know that I purchased her one as well. When she picked it up, she was impressed with how "light" it was. I attributed it to the "new, alien technology" those folks at Apple use.

She proceeded to open it and was in awe of the screen and (again) the lightness of the device. She then asked me what to do and stated that it was already on and to click on any of the icons on the "screen". She kept on pressing on the Safari icon and said that it wouldn't launch.

Holding back my laughter, I told her it's launching for the first time since it's a new device and suggested that she try some other programs. She clicked on other icons and was in awe of the screen clarity and (again) the light weight. After several more seconds of witnessing her pressing buttons on this bogus device, I couldn't hold back my laughter and yelled out April Fools. It still took her some time to figure out why and I had to show her that the iPad was fake.

You can't make this stuff up.
