Needless to say, today is a big day for me.

April Fool’s Day? The day when jokes are king? I’m like turmeric oleoresin in your Post® Fruity Pebbles, man: I’m all up in it!!

Even when I was a kid, I would celebrate this day by making prank phone calls. My favorite was to call someone at random, then hang up before they could answer the phone! I don’t recall at the moment why this was considered a prank. I would also sneak into the kitchen when Mom was cooking supper, and turn down the temperature on the oven by 5 degrees, so it took about eight minutes longer for the food to cook. I’m not sure what the point of that one was, either, but I had a great laugh!

Later on, though, my April Fool’s pranks grew more sophisticated and clever. One year, my friends and I went downtown and put quarters into all the parking meters. Ha! We never got caught! Then we went to one guy’s house and smeared grease all over the tracks of his garage door so it opened really smoothly and quietly. He never found out who did it!

As my sense of humor matured, my April Fool’s Day pranks become more subtle and devious. A group of us decided to freak out the employees at the local library, so we all returned our overdue books on April 1st, and we each paid our fine with a twenty dollar bill which they were unable to break, so they had to keep all the change! Then, that afternoon, we went down to the main drag and stepped off of
the curb, bringing traffic to a complete standstill, every time the light turned red or the crossing guard helped some school kids across. We nearly got busted on that one!

Now, as an adult, some people think that I should be above all this tomfoolery and/or shenanigans. Nothing could be further from the truth. Already today, I have tricked the new clerk at the convenience store by buying a different brand of cigarettes than the ones I actually smoke, and when I went through the drive-thru at the bank, I replaced the bank’s ballpoint pen with one of my own. I wish I could see their faces when they realize what happened!

I hope you all enjoy pulling your pranks today. I gotta run, because I’m about to go and unzip all the ZipLock bags in the box in the kitchen cabinet. Then, when somebody takes one out, it will already be unzipped and they won’t know what hit them!

So watch your back today. You never know when YOU might be the victim of one of my over-the-top pranks.

MUAHAHAHAHA!
