Reader's responses to The Big Question.

 

The Question: What’s the best April Fool’s joke that has ever been played on you or that you have played on someone?

 

The Answer: “The choir secretary called most of our singers and musicians and had them call our choir director to say they couldn't be at church Sunday for various reasons. We revealed our joke Saturday night so he would be able to sleep! He didn't think it was very funny...”

The Answer: “I worked in accounts receivable, and my boss put me up to calling my husband to tell him that I had lost $10K in checks. When he found out it was a joke, he was livid, yet somehow relieved.”

The Answer: “I suppose when the teacher (6th grade) left the room and we reversed all the desks, including teacher's, to face the back of the room. And no, we didn't all have to march to the principal's office.”

The Answer: “Believe it or not, April Fool's has never been big in my life. I've never done anything worthy of mention for this day.”

The Answer: “My brother glued my bedroom door shut while I was sleeping. He even poured the stuff in the lock mechanism so that the doorknob wouldn't turn. It took my dad three hours to open the door.”

The Answer: “Our student administrator at Bible College was a diehard Vikings fan, so for April Fool's Day we decorated her whole office and car with Green Bay Packers (the Viking's rivals) paraphernalia.

The Answer: “Well, the best joke was this year. I work for my family’s business, and my five-year-old daughter goes to work with me on Saturdays. She grew up in this store, so she amuses herself pretty well. She has her own playroom and full control of the computers, but on Saturday (April 1) she felt the need to be on the sales floor. I was helping a male client choose a product when she ran up to me and said in a stage whisper ‘Mommy, your underwear is showing.’ I shooed her off and got away from the customer as quickly as politely possible. I hightailed it up to the front counter to confront the child and tell my mother I would be in the back for a moment. Well, I found these two giggling their heads off and my pipsqueak says ‘April Fools Mommy!’ My mom put her up to it! In retrospect, it was very funny!”

The Answer: “I had a great time wearing my friend's engagement ring around and everyone screaming and jumping up and down right until as they hugged me, I said, ‘April Fools.’”

The Answer: “Last year during the Michael Jackson trials, we called all our family that doesn't go to church and loves to listen to his music and told them he committed suicide. They freaked out! Needless to say, it was so funny to calm them down and tell them it was all a joke!”
