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!
