In 2006 (a Saturday), I knew a couple of my guy friends were spending the weekend at the home of one. I waited until about two, then I called and told them their dorm (with all their possessions) had burned down. The one I was on the phone with freaked out. I started laughing. He thought I was hysterical which only made me laugh harder. It took me two tries to choke out “April Fool!” and when I did there was complete silence on the phone, then he said “Damn you! You’re going to hell!” (mind you, he didn’t normally cuss) He called me back later and yelled at me some more. Turned out our other friend had been throwing up at that moment, and the next day a tornado wiped out half his hometown. You couldn’t ask for timing like that.

They tried to get back at me in the college cafeteria by mixing soy sauce and water and calling it “tea” – but I was suspicious and didn’t drink it.

Ball Pythons are pretty stubby, slow moving snakes. They’ll usually top out around 4 feet or so. And they’re one of the least dangerous snakes to humans I can think of unless we start talking about the tiny colubrids with teeth so small they can’t break the skin on our fingers.
Now if a Burmese Python got loose…that could be an entirely different story.

Last April Fool’s Day my father passed away quite suddenly. He was having coffee with a friend and collapsed. His friend called me at work to tell my that my father had just collapsed and the paramedics were on their way there. My father was the supreme jokester so I thought it was all an April Fool’s prank. I asked his friend a few times – Is this a joke? I know my dad would have approved at my skepticism and I still think it was so him to go on April Fool’s Day.

Was Kaiser ever recovered? I would freak out if I saw a giant snake slithering between cubicles. Actually, probably even if it was a small snake.

A former friends’ parents had a April Fools day surprise once. Out of the blue their oldest son, who was in college at the time, called to say that his daughter was born. The parents didn’t beleive him because they didn’t even know that his girlfriend was pregnant! They decided to wait to tell both of their parents until the baby was born, which was April Fools Day. It took a good 20 minutes before he was able to convince his parents he was a first time father! The moment that it finally sunk in was when the baby began to cry while they were on the phone! I can’t even make this up!
