What's a great april fools day prank to pull on your long distance boyfriend?

In 1500s France the commonly used Julian calendar recognized April 1 as the first day of the New Year. Then, in the 1580s, the Gregorian calendar was adopted, with January 1 as New Year’s Day. The people that didn’t accept this new calendar were considered foolish. Since these fools celebrated New Years Day on April 1, they were known as April Fools. Their mocking has evolved into the modern day practice of playing innocent pranks on April 1.

A good prank to play on a long distance boyfriend would be to get a temporary tattoo or use a marker to draw on a tattoo that they would not like and send them a picture. The tattoo could be of their name, but spelled incorrectly. Henna is used to create a temporary tattoo, but it should be tested first to make sure there is no allergic reaction. It is commonly used as a skin dye, but has not been approved by the FDA for anything but a hair dye.
