You know what? love April Fool’s Day.

I’ll admit to it and frankly, I’m not ashamed because it just so hap­pens to be the most lop­sided day out of a year’s worth of aver­age week­days and weekends.

What other day can you think of where you can pull the ulti­mate prank on some­one and then later be for­given — with hearty laughs and cheer — because you’ll be saved by tra­di­tion? Off the top of my head, there is no other day where you can be as fool­hardy as you want to be.

Although, I’ll make another con­fes­sion. I’ve never actu­ally pulled the “ulti­mate” prank on some­one because my con­scious con­vinces me oth­er­wise. I fig­ure if I just ignore him for a day (just one day), only then will I actu­ally be able to fol­low through. Another thing entirely is that I typ­i­cally can­not come up with any­thing that seems worth­while to prank some­one on.

Most of the time it seems too unap­pro­pri­ate, like the time where I wanted to just dis­ap­pear for a cou­ple hours and then call my wife telling her I had been car­jacked. After think­ing it through, it would be more upset­ting than play­ful and that’s just not the route to go on for a fool’s joke.

What kind of mas­ter­mined jokes have you played on some­one in the past for April Fool’s?
