Portable zip codes is a winner!

I've left my wife know about the one-way system so she can warn her colleagues.

A couple of good ones reported in "The Age" Melbourne this morning.

Richard Branson's Virgin Blue airline also got into the spirit of April Fool's day.

The discount airline ran ads in newspapers offering the "no chair fare" - half priced fares for passengers willing to stand for the duration of the flight.

Free calf massages are offered for flights longer than two hours long. The offer closes at 6pm today.

I liked the having to learn to read Thai to get a driving licence, that is partially believable here.

Try a little quiz.

I was in UK when the classic Swiss Spaghetti Harvest was shown on Panorama, BBC..

Richard Dimbleby, for those old enuff to remember him.

Next day so many people were saying they had seen the harvest..........<deleted>

Hmmm, let's see.

I put For Sale signs ("To the Lowest Bidder, Staff Included") on the building of the people that contracted our company to do the work here.

Changed a few office door signs (i.e. Engineering became the Department of Doodles and Drawings, Supply became Widgets & Gidgets).

Announced that there would be a fishing derby at "The Pond" this morning (Prizes for the biggest Brown Trout !)

(note that "The Pond" actually refers to our Waste Treatment plant, so you can imagine what the "brown trout" might be).

Didn't have time to change all the office door signs around, or put up "Closed for Fumigation" signs on the kitchens, or change our Personnel Report to randomly scramble the names and positions of everyone in the company.

The way things are going, I'd better start getting some of those things ready for next year, now.

I was told that is actual quote. Nobody ever heard me claim that one.

I can't believe some people fell for the ring road jape!

jape

–verb (used without object) 1. to jest; joke; gibe.

–verb (used with object) 2. to mock or make fun of.

–noun 3. a joke; jest; quip.

4. a trick or practical joke.

There's a word I've never used.

I must try to squeeze it in to conversation some time.

Called my Thai sweetheart and told her that I had a life-changing dream while I was in Washington, D.C., and that I wanted to sell all our property and give the money to the Dahli Lama to promote freedom in Tibet. I told her she would have enough merit for three lifetimes, but that we would be selling our house, our cars, our furniture, our clothes, and that she should plan on returning to Thailand. I had to endure five minutes of Thai cursing before I could remind her that today was April Fools Day. I hope I did a good job of hiding all the guns in our house.

Some years ago I ran the company staff and "others" telephone directory through a spell checker and added a few extra puns and reissued it by email, that sad fact was many just printed it an put it up by their desk without noticing the changes.

I just did a minor one to my partner too.

She's away at the moment, but I had (genuinely) received a email from my last boss, in Guatemala, stating that he'd love to have some members of our old team back.

What with her being away at her family's place in France, and me in England, I told her when she called that I was packing and that I was taking my old job back in Guatemala and that I looked forward to her joining me.

She then proceeded to give me a ten minute (i kid you not) monologue about:

• Her Graduate studies, and wanting to finish them
  
• That I am now in a relationship, where decisions like these are made together
  
• How large moves
  like this, although I might do them on the spur of the moment, she needs to lpan, and have lots of notice and know what she is getting in to
  
• how she was afraid I might go back to the drugs if I took this job
  
• How she can handle my drinking, but would not be tolerant for a drugged up BF
  
• How she's not sure she can be so far away from her family
  
• etc...
  

I literally sat in silence throughout (I could see her on Skype vdo, though she couldn't see me, and was mildly entertained but how serious she got.)

After about 10 minutes, sshe stopped talking.

I stayed silent.

There was a few moments of silence.

Then she looked straight at the camera (in my eyes) and said, "Sh1t, That was an April Fools joke, wasn't it?"

It's a lovely word. Very 'British' sounding don't you think!

Some years ago I ran the company staff and "others" telephone directory through a spell checker and added a few extra puns and reissued it by email, that sad fact was many just printed it an put it up by their desk without noticing the changes.

Some years ago I did a long term one in January which wouldn't be picked up til the following December. Our chuch schedule listed the visiting speakers for the year, we generally didn't have one for christmas week as people had to travel at a time they should have been spending with their families. So I typed in for the following Christmas week, 'Brother Ivor Blank from Ware'. It wasn't til 2 weeks before Christmas that people starting say, 'Oh poor Brother Blank travellin all that way'. I let it go for ages until somebody finallly looked and said 'Brother Blank from Ware - Doh!'

Now that's called forward planning!

BTW kayo, that's cruel!!!
