Put the right amount of gunpowder in the pen so it blows off their hand when they click it XD

 Or just turn the ink barrel around, so going from the top down it goes:

button
clip to go on your pocket
tip end of ink barrel
hollow end of ink barrel
metal pen tip

You cannot depress the button :)

hehe nice! though i doubt they'll be too frustrated. . .just grab another pen . . . what'd be really cool is to rig the lighter up so that flame shoots out of the pen tip when they click it!

lets say that if you had a pen that did that and it was over a desk made of wood like mine and you turned it on you might start the desk on fire.

thats possible if u fill up the pen with rubbing alcohol and make a circuit in it with a rocket igniter, using a really small coin cell battery and wiring up a tact switch into the clicker end the flame will go to the direction where it can get air, so good luck making that happen with out it leaking out of the writing end...

Yeah, but that would set fire to the paper and anything around it. April fools is supposed to be a funny jokey day, not a day for someone to be going to the casualty ward with burns because a prank went wrong.

i wuz just expanding what kaelessin said above, not offering april fools day advice.. ofcourse i wouldnt do something like that at all anytime and give it to a person... as far as i got with that was puttting a pulling firework into a pen, tying it to the cap, and pulling it off my comment above follows a similar theoretical principal...

Ok. soz. I (also) wouldn't do that.

Ehhhh... A better idea would be to go and put the piezo generator to the button so when the person clicks on the pen he gets shocked. It's harmless, but the guy would be like "Holy s***"
