This article is more than 9 years old.

The most foolish day of the year is drawing ever nearer. Though it may be hard to believe, a third of American adults will attempt to pull off some form of prank on April 1st, according to The Harris Poll. Are you a potential target? If you're a boss or a teacher, you can remain relatively calm - 64 percent of Americans consider bosses and teachers off-limits when it comes to pranks.

However, best friends, spouses and siblings are most at risk, with 76, 73 and 72 percent of pranksters labeling them potential targets respectively. In addition to those Americans who intend pulling off a prank this year, 37 percent of people anticipate being the target of a prank while 18 percent say they have a family tradition of pranking each other on April Fool's Day.
