It’s kind of pointless now, isn’t it?
Everyone suspects everything. Even things vaguely out of the ordinary are classed as attempts to put the Fool on us. And no matter how innovative or clever you are, you’re only going to trick the really stupid amongst us. And that’s no achievement, is it?
The solution, for me at least, is to move the spirit of April 1st to an as yet unspecified date later in the year. That way nobody will suspect the story being false and untrue, at least not straight away.
But then you reach dangerous ground. It goes from being a prank to an outright lie. Oh well, comes with the territory.
Twenty’s Big-Lie day. Coming soon. Or not. But yes. Or is it?
September 30th every year? :-P
haha, I wouldn’t want to be predictable though.
Everybody in the country should be made aware of the date, bar one schmuck, selected randomly from the census — like a cruel lotto. That one putz (probably called Larry, or Frank — something depressingly generic) will have no idea why 4 million people are all trying to ruin his life for 24 hours.
Albanian colleague says of 1st April: “I cannot work today. Is Day of Lies.”
Isn’t that every day?
Naw Darragh, I’d definitely prefer to change 1st of April to the 11th of September. Just think of all the practical joke possibilities that’d open up on that date. Why the streets outside the American Embassy would be just like a Comic Relief gathering!
April Fools day here is next week. The 7th.
50mb broadband from Virgin……now there’s a fucking prank……
May your corkscrew forever be bent.
“I cannot work today. Is Day of Lies.”
What an excellent reason not to work. Tomorrow can be Day of Bad Poems. Can’t work then either.
Make it Christmas Day.
Gifts for you! Hahaha, Christmas fools!
Did you see the story about the guy smoking at the pump who caught fire?
Made me think of your post not long ago on the topic.

Story won’t load but I assume he’s a candidate for the Darwin Awards.
Your too late Twenty. Politicians have been April Fooling us daily for years and twice as often when elections roll around. Most Fools believe them and reelect them. That’s why we’re fucked.
I blame Johnny5s move to cork, the whole world went tits up
Yea Loco,
IT’S ALL GONE TO SHIT!
