April Fools Day!!

[kokopup]

The most outlandish Aprils Joke for me was a front page Article appearing in the Birmingham News when I was a Kid.

For many years, that I could remember, there had been talk of building a tunnel through Red Mountain to cut down on traffic problems and make the morning drive from "over the Mountain" burbs fast.

The Morning Headlines Read, "Red Mountain Tunnels Opens Today" this was almost a full page article complete with pictures of the Tunnel entrance on one side. There was a detail article on how two teams of tunnel builders had been building this tunnel, for the past few years, working from the middle out to , what would be the entrances, at the ends. One tunnel entrance was near downtown Birmingham and the other in Homewood several thousand feet away. The article was very believable until the last word of the story, APRIL FOOL. They hide the "April Fool" ending by having, "article continued on page xx", at the bottom of page one.

If you play Island Paradise on FG, a horde of giant evil chickens have destroyed your island!

You see your island, ransacked, and these HUGE grey chickens, all with a patch over 1 eye, pirate style, lol. I knew it was an April Fool, though it sure is stunning initially! AND it took me almost a full minute to figure out how to chase the birds off to someone else's island and restore order to my island, ha ha haaa.

I'm not a fan of April Fools. I don't like it. I am very much on guard on this day and will not believe anything anyone tells me or I read or see. I always just want this day to hurry up and be over.

I completely forgot about San Serriffe!

This is one of my favorites... http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

During my community health nursing rotation I had to be at the clinical site at 7 AM; it was a 30-minute drive away so I would get up at 5:30 AM in order to leave the dorm by 6:30. No other nursing majors on my floor so no one else getting up that early. One morning I open the door (heading for the bathroom/shower down the hall) and crash! My friends had stacked soda cans from the floor to the top of the door frame and side to side; and when I opened the door, they all collapsed inward, awakening my roommate, my R.A. next door and about half the dorm. I was mad and embarrassed at the same time. They hadn't taken into consideration that I would be getting up that early!
