This year was mellow for the April Fool’s pranks on me.
My daughter got a couple zingers in, but she is seven…so they are pretty predictable. Up until last Friday, I thought I had skated through 4/1/08 unscathed…then I got hit with one.
I was speaking to Craig Neuman, from the Maddux Business Report. During our conversation, I shared with him how surprised I was that Maddux was changing its name to MBR and jumping full on into the Web 2.0 world. That’s when I got hit “BOOM” – right in the kisser!
Seems that the Maddux editorial team, played a little joke on all the readers…they put two pages of bogus articles in the front of the magazine. If you weren’t paying close attention (like me) – then you would never notice that they were listed as April Fools Edition* (see below).
Good for you Maddux Business Report…everyone deserves a good prank. Wait til next year!
Good afternoon, Happy Fool’s Day!!!
A man is in a bar and falling off his stool every couple of minutes. He is obviously drunk. So the bartender says to another man in the bar: “Why don’t you be a good Samaritan and take him home.”
The man takes the drunk out the door and to his car and he stumbles at least ten times. They drive along and the drunk points out his house to the man. He stops the car and the drunk stumbles up the steps to his house with the man.
The drunk’s wife greets them at the door: “Why, thank you for bringing him home for me, but where’s his wheel chair?”
Happy April Fool’s Day!
