Here is a good prank for ya ... just click on this website and watch the protesters. And as you write that big fat check to the IRS, just keep thinking that your tax dollars will be going to feed, cloth, educate, treat, and house these low-life scumbags.

Seriously, shouldn't the 2nd Quarter Freepathon start today?

April Fools Day or not, the rules stay the same. Conservatives are to vote on Tuesdays; RINOs and Democrats are to vote on Wednesdays.

Have you all seen the Ask.com commercial with the monkeys banging on laptops until one of them evolves into a human after finding Ask.com? I was wondering why there are no black actors in that commercial. So I penned an unsent letter to their communications director. I haven't sent it yet. Yes, this letter would be my April Fool's joke.

Mr. Crisp,

I would like to know why there are no people of color in your current Ask commercial, showing the monkeys pounding on keyboards. I've seen a few versions of that commercial and there is not a single black person in them. Normally, I don't go counting the number of minorities in commercials, because you see them everywhere, but your commercial stood out for not having a single African American in it. Your company's lack of diversity is highly offensive to me. I will not be using your Ask website to search for anything.

Quite sincerely,

Diane

BERLIN, April 1st 2006. The German Federal Government has ordered, that all players, coaches, service personnel and visitors of the FIFA World Cup Soccer (will be in Germany in June/July) have to get a flu vaccination in order to lower the risk of getting a mass infection with bird flu. This order is in force since today, and all affected people shall carry a valid certificate of the vaccination with them. Otherwise, they can be sent back at the gates of the stadium or get a shot at one of the 350 mobile vaccination stations, which will be located near the stadiums. This measure is necessary to prevent a mass infection with the bird flu. It is proven that the flu vaccine strengthen the human immune system and thus lowers the risk of getting infected with the bird flu.

(Reported today in a German newspaper)

A "practical joker" deserves applause for his wit according to its quality. Bastinado is about right. For exceptional wit one might grant keelhauling. But staking him out on an anthill should be reserved for the very wittiest.

This is a true story. (At least my friend Bunny-Sue McGillicuty swears it is).

A few years back, a friends husband looked his wife in the eye over breakfast and said "Sweetheart, I don't know how to tell you this, but when I had my checkup yesterday, the Dr. told me I had terminal cancer."

His wife nearly faints, starts crying and then realizes he's laughing is azz off, saying "April Fools".

She didn't think it was the LEAST bit funny. So she bides her time. A few weeks later, she gets a pregnant best friend to take a pregnancy test and give her the box, postive test etc.

The wife plants the kit in the bathroom trash, leaving the positive test strip visible on top. Now, this couple have 4 kids and did NOT plan on or want anymore. They'd taken every precaution not to have more.

ANYHOW, said wife has made plans to spend the day out shopping etc with her sister, taking all the kids along. She turns off her cell phone and heads out the door.

6 hours later, she checks the messages and she has 6.
(long pause) "Honey, give me a call as soon as you can."

"Please call me as soon as you get this message....I ah, have a question about something very important."

"CALL ME!"

"Where are you? Call me! I need to ask you something NOW!"

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING! WHERE ARE YOU! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU NOW!"

The last message was a growl and a bunch of &*^%%( stuff.

She calls him back at this point and simply said "Gotcha back for April Fools".

He didn't think it was funny, but at this point, he'd drank every beer in the house and worn the carpet down to nothing.

I take offense at this "spoof". I come from a long line of dedicated spaghetti harvesters....my grandparents back in Switzerland walked uphill BOTH WAYS to spend hours of backbreaking working pulling strand by strand for the ungrateful masses.

Don't ask me how to do it now because I can't remember, but we used to take a paper clip and wind a rubber band through it somehow, then repeatedly spin the paper clip around so that the rubber band was pulled tight. Then we'd carefully put it in a regular white envelope and set it in a co-worker's mailbox. We'd sit back and wait for them to open it, and when they did, it sounded like there was a bee or something in there as the rubber band would unwind and the paper clip would spin around hitting the sides of the envelope. Boy did they jump.
