I usually just tell them i have a good one im going to pull on you on april fools day. I just keep it up until April 1st then nothing. They ask later "you said you were going to get me good and nothing". I reply "thats it, you thought about it all day wondering when it was going to happen didnt you'?
Many year ago my wife called me at work to tell me a 4 ft. fluorescent light in the garage fell down and landed on my hotrod. Then she laughed and said "April Fools!" When I got home we had a long talk about what was funny, and what was off limits. That was the last April Fools joke she ever did with me.
I send in my Federal income tax, State income tax, and State property tax on April 1st ever since I retired…one fool sending correspondence to many!
I once had my wife convinced I got fired. She was beside herself. Big, huge story about what led up to the firing...She was not happy with me when I came home.
This story happened in April many years ago. This young lady was hich hiking, so I pulled over to pick her up. She reached down for a burlap sack, opened the door, and hopped in. As she tucked herself in, I couldn't help but notice that her legs were long and went all the way up to heaven. Then she looked at me with the biggest smile and said, "I waited for a ride so long that I made myself a promise that the first guy who stops...... see more
Not quite an April Fools prank but still funny: someone in high school had a Datsun B210, and he was always getting called to the principals office to move his car. It would be in a bus lane, a faculty parking spot, or on the sidewalk. He had a steering wheel club and a couple other anti-theft features, but the car still got moved from where he parked it, and he couldn't figure out how it was being done. Turned out a few football players were picking up the car by the rear bumper and moving it around. Then one Friday after school let out he found it tucked bumper-to-bumper between the school building and a telephone pole. He had to get a tow truck to pull it out. The following Monday he showed up in a Mustang and that was the end of his Datsun problem.
Thanks, Lou for setting up this good ending point...! YRMV Hello, No old stories, no old photos, just a moment’s distance to say good bye. This has been a difficult moment to sit and write this, but it just fits the timeline for me. It has been fun for all of these years and with the history I have given everyone, hope it was good for you. If not, like all angry folks, just don’t read it. So, with time being on the short end of our history from 1947 to now for me and 1966 from my wife included, our adventures are history for everyone. So Cal has been good for us and to us. Jnaki So, now it time to say good bye… with a quote from a famous song from our days as "happy go lucky" kids… Now its time to say goodbye To all our company M-I-C See you real soon K-E-Y Why? because we like you M-O-U-S-E Its been a good road for me… thanks…
This better be an April Fool's joke like back when @hotrodladycrusr tried to convince us she was selling Big Olds...
One year some friends called to say their horses were out, we dropped everything, but it was a joke, on April first. We locked three banty hens and a rooster up in the tack room. They didn’t go in there for a couple of days, we called it even.
my wife had hip replacement surgery this morning, the surgeon, Dr Phillips, comes in and goes over the pre-op "stuff" and he asks her if she has any questions. She said "Dr Keiser (the surgeon that had done the other four joint replacements) lets me choose the color of the implant and I want pink". Dr. Phillips gets a quizzical look on his face, "where we get our implants there are no choice of colors", not sure how to respond to the query. My wife pauses...."April Fools" After surgery Dr Phillips meets me in a consulting room to go over the procedure (she did fine) and told me there actually was a slight pink cast to the ceramic of the implant. He enjoyed the joke
The fun of this day is in the days before. Thinking about what is a believable, but shocking development. The best time is three moments after the first G'mornin'. My wife is alarmed every time. Today's was about where her pooch did his business
I added a extra valve keeper ti a guys bench after he built a inline 6 and had it installed. He stared at it for a hour before we stopped him from pulling the side covers. Saw a go worker fill a A holes who kept borrowing tools and not returning them entire locked tool box with great with the needle greaser hanging over his bay . What a mess.
A few years ago I was on the Airstream Forum. I posted that I had just been at the AS factory in Jackson and the new Airstreams were going to be maid out of fibergl*** instead of aluminum. The forum lit up with the hard core A streamers *****ing, until someone figured out what day it was.
Left A Wasted Rusty Muffler Beneath The Kid Next Doors Tuner And Watched To See If The Owner Thought It Fell Off Of His Project..... Welcome To April 1 Child......
My little brother was born on April 1st, so it's always easy to remember. I called him this morning, and we talked a bit about April Fool's jokes. He told me in all seriousness that life today has gotten so weird that April Fool's is redundant.
Hello, I am old, have been around actively participating in all sorts of stuff, and I needed the day off, yesterday. A good long nap and warm sun outside was helpful. I had been having fun all of these years and as a person who likes a little history as I find my own stories, it was a necessary break. So, thanks to @guthriesmith I decided to start again. But, first, I had to finish another art project of a friend’s hot rod and that made it all better. Art makes life fun and colorful… Jnaki So, whether or not that is good or bad for most folks, it is fun, again and I have a few more stories left. YRMV Thanks for the concern, if there was any at all. Ha!
