Okay, April Fools. I'm all for practical jokes when they aren't cruel or just plain stupid (or played on me for that matter). It seems like every year there is a story about someone who took a joke too far or who couldn't take a joke, and did something stupid like lighting someone's hair on fire or something. Be creative not stupid. Take my friend Daniel. Last year he approached his father and had him sit down telling him that he had something important to tell him. With the straight face of an expert poker player, he confessed the he had gotten his girlfriend pregnant. At which time his father turns red and goes crazy. Needless to say it was a joke and Daniel did get his dad to calm down after bursting with laughter. That was perfect. Nothing too elaborate, stupid, or painful. Just enough to scare the crap out of someone works fine. I'm a little wary about meeting Daniel today as he is very good at this whole joke thing and has a sick sense of humor, which is one of the reasons he is one of my friends. So for all of you who are planning an ER visit on your April 1 calendar, don't.
