April Fools Day

April Fools Day

Did any of you fall for an April Fools Day prank?

I spent yesterday at work warning others to watch out for a certain person (she was there and heard me warning others), as I was sure she would try and catch as many of us out.

I hang my head in embarrassment. I fell prey to her second prank, hook, line and sinker. The 1st prank happened before I got to work.

She had great delight in laughing at me, seeing as I was the one warning all the others.

Yes, I joined in with the 3rd prank (actually it was my idea), and caught my friend out.

I think we were all glad when midday came, and we all stopped being silly.

Does anyone know how it all started, and why does it stop at midday?

Have no idea why it stops at midday.
Let us know if you get caught out.
I was determined not to get caught, but had to laugh at myself for falling for it.

 Now what really amazes me is that nobody has yet found a way to make money out of it.

Have you noticed that compared to say St. Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, All Hallow's Eve, Mother's Day, Father's day etcetera, etcetera, etcetera:-

Hallmark don't print April Fool's day cards.
Nobody sells Court Jester outfits to wear on the day.
Shops don't promote April Fool's day gifts,
Restaurants and bars don't have April Fools day promotions


Anyhow as I recall back at Camelot, it was originally known as Court Jester's Day when all hell broke loose when the resident court Jester got to be King of the Castle for a day.

I Truly didn't know that.

Thought it stopped every where at noon.

Still none the wiser how it started.

Maybe my 'Colour' blog came across as a bit of an 'April Fools Day.'

I made sure that everyone knew when it was midday, so the pranks would stop.

Think you might be onto a winner there.
What a great idea promoting 'April Fools Day.'

Can imagine the bedlam when the Court Jester took over for the day.

I didn't mind getting pranked. Had a good laugh at myself for falling for it.

 I had a less than talented group of students and had convinced them that if beees make honey
then wasps make jam
and Hornets make marmalade...

It was not until I tried to tell them that spiders make marmite that they realised I was fooling about !!

Even if spiders did make marmalade, I still would have killed the two big Huntsmen spiders last night. Although they were outside, they were still too close to me.
I was outside on the phone, and nearly shat myself. Hate spiders.

Hmmm yes .. your country seems to have cornered the market when it comes to animals that you really are best off avoiding .. !!
