    Anyone see or experience any good April Fools pranks online?

    Only good one I saw was NPR fb post wondering if anyone reads anymore.

    The replies are exactly what I expected when I read the article. ..lol

    http://www.npr.org/2014/04/01/297690...ntent=20160401

    That the best one I've seen so far...lol

    Interestingly, (or maybe not so interestingly) I can see parallels between that post and the zoo....

    There were a couple of half-hearted eHam trolls attempting to capitalize on the 14.313 zoo.

    One of my friends played a trick on me that she was packing up and moving to SC for a fresh start, but that I could come and visit.

    I returned fire at dinner the other night, stating that next 4/1 she may come home to an empty condo which contains nothing more than a slip of paper bearing the address of her new digs in SC, where all of her belongings were in the process of being shipped. :rofl:

    A bit of a twist on Johnny Cash (the original man in black) and June Carter's Jackson lyrics; "Goodbye," that's all she wrote.

    There was a Baofeng HF rig for $225 advertised. I fell for it. Back to my Nigerian prince email.

    I think they were a week late for these. Quite mean natured and expensive but funny in it's own way. I wouldn't have stuck around to do anything other than exit the building ASAP...lol

    Pizza faces at Booger Fling sure aren't the brightest bulbs in the string. That's why cash register keys have little pictures on them and do the arithmetic so they don't have to go barefoot on cold floors...ah HILK! Gawrsh. Drive through customers aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer either.
