April Fools



I can't think of any other good jokes this year again. Another crummy April Fools day. :(

All April Fool's jokes are being recycled now. Seen a post on Twitter of a kangaroo escaping off a plane from Australia and is now running rampant in London. If I remember correctly it's either exactly the same or similar to a newspaper article from a couple of years ago.

I figured it was an April Fool's joke. ;) Although I was worried for a second until I remembered the date.

So when is the sale announced last year of Wrong Planet to Autism Speaks happening? When the bugs in the new software are fixed?

I had an autism friend who would tell me he went to jail finally and he told this joke every year and didn't remember it each time.

I finally thought of a good one so I posted it on two other forums. I had never told that joke before and it just popped in my head after I posted this thread.

You got me. I read that subject line and my mouth fell open. :lol: I didn’t remember that today was national (or is it international?) lie to people for fun day. It got a laugh out of me. :)

Dammit, dammit dammit. I got through the whole day not falling for anything, until this. You got me.

It didn't seem wildly unlikely, for some reason.

I'm kind of amused but also kind of angry at being gullible. :x

I figured it was a joke anyway. :lol:

When I saw the title of the thread, I actually believed it was true. I was upset for a split second until I clicked on it, seeing that it was an April Fools joke.
