April 1st and I’m the only fool around

April 1, 2008 – 7:21 pm

I went to bed last night with visions of all the wonderfully evil April Fool’s day pranks I could play on you this morning.

I’ll Photoshop my head onto something REALLY outrageous!

I’ll tell you that I’ve decided to quit blogging!

I’ll break a really preposterous news story!

But I woke up this morning and barely had time to get myself presentable and drop CJ off at a friend’s house before heading off to the OB-GYN. (which, as you surely agree, stands for Oh Boy you’re going to do that to my GYNecological region?!)

Looks like the joke’s on me this year.

Can you imagine being a gynecologist on April Fool’s Day? Think of the FUN you could have!

“What is THIS you’ve got down here?”

“We have a new sort of probing device… hopefully it won’t be too uncomfortable…” (holds up cattle prod).

“Did you know you were pregnant? Oh! What’s this! Twins?!”

Luckily mine isn’t so mean as all that.

And, just in case you’re bored, here’s a list of Top 100 April Fool’s Day hoaxes of all time. I think this one is my favorite:

#15: The Case of the Interfering Brassieres
In 1982 the Daily Mail reported that a local manufacturer had sold 10,000 “rogue bras” that were causing a unique and unprecedented problem, not to the wearers but to the public at large. Apparently the support wire in these bras had been made out of a kind of copper originally designed for use in fire alarms. When this copper came into contact with nylon and body heat, it produced static electricity which, in turn, was interfering with local television and radio broadcasts. The chief engineer of British Telecom, upon reading the article, immediately ordered that all his female laboratory employees disclose what type of bra they were wearing.

Sounds to me like a strange version of Mardi Gras (although without the beads and booze). “Lift your shirts, ladies… it’s for the safety of the company!”

So tell me, have you fallen for any April Fool’s Day pranks today?

    Hey, I was at OB/GYN today too; we should have gone together and gotten the 2-for-1 special!

    And yes, I fell for one, a friend blogged that she was throwing in the towel, wiped out on blogging, losing too much of her life to cell phones, e-mails, facebook, etc, and that she was giving up and getting her life back. She was very convincing, and I was most distraught. (www.findingblanche.blogspot.com)

    Oh jeez, I couldn’t imagine the OB on April 1st! :-)

    I read another blogger who said she was born today- imagine that and all the jokes she has heard over her lifetime.

    I did try to convince hubby I was pregnant, but he didn’t fall for it. He said we would actually have to have s-e-x for that to happen. :-) He’s funny!
