April Fools Day!

My best friend called me into his office (he was my boss at the time), very somberly asked me to sit down and then explained that my mom died.
Then came the "April fools" and "now, don't you feel betterknowing it was just a joke."


We moved into an apartment together on April 1st, we figuered it was a joke on them.

Best of Luck,
Wesley R.

last year on april fool's day, some idiots at my high school planted a fake bomb in one of the bathrooms.

everyone in the school had to evacuate, and we were out there for about three to four hours in the hot florida sun. and i didn't have any sunscreen (as i didn't expect to be outside at all).

we had to wait until the bomb squad arrived and took care of the device. by exploding it.

so eventually the people (i think there was more than just one) got caught and presumably expelled, and i was purple for a few days.

it was hysterical. :scowl:

I e-mailed my wife and told her that her brother (that I work with) just got hauled out by the cops.

She called me back wondering what was going on..."Oh, you wouldn't believe it! Your brother is still here because it's APRIL FOOLS!!!"

We had a good laugh over that. good thing she's got a sense of humor. :)

The Guardian Newspaper has a front-page story about Prince Charles being made "Countryside Tsar" by the Labour Government - it gives the game away by saying how a focus group called "Yo Guv!" found that Camilla had a high approval rating!! ;)

It also says things like how Charles has agreed for travellers and Gipsies to camp for free on his large country estates!! :D

One time, a friend, whom I was very close to, pointed at my shirt and said I had a stain on it. I was shocked (I was wearing a brand new shirt at the time) and looked down to try and find the stain he was talking about. However, as I was looking down to where he was pointing, his finger started ascending very quickly and end up flicking the tip of my nose, causing me some discomfort.

I was very embarrassed. (Turned out there wasn't really a stain on my shirt...that was just part of the ruse).

That's classic, old boy! I'll have to remember that little humdinger.

Reminds me of when someone once called to inquire about the functionality of my refrigerator. When I answered that it was indeed functioning appropriately they suggested that I should go and capture it. I quickly became alarmed and ran to my kitchen only to find that my regrigerator remained where I'd previously left it. Boy was my face red when, after some puzzlement, I realized that I'd been the butt of an elaborate prank. The fraternity boys must have been planning these hijinks for months.

we are obviously not intelligent enough to comprehend their rapier-like wit. :rolleyes:
