Ah April 1st, the day that is my least favourite as it means you spend all day face palming the lame attempts at fooling people. Half are boring and the other half pathetic. It only really catches out people who forget its April 1st foremost.

I admit I opened up a video on youtube expecting review... But 5 seconds in I was going 2that was it...?".  Yeah their april fools joke was 5 seconds of animation and then a still frame saying "April 1st".

Saying that....the time my dad ordered a yacht to be shipped on a boat for his company that was bigger then the boat it was being shipped out on... And the guy who gave the estimate never clicked what the estimation request was for. The following year he was asked for a quote on shipping hang-glider engines... You can figure this one out. Its a good thing they were friends because the following year he submitted 12 legit estimations requests at once. The guy was so determined to not be caught out a 3rd year in a row that he spent all day going over all 12 estimation requests only to be told that the catch this year was there was no catch at all but the guy had spent the entire day determined to find the one that was going to catch him out.

Ah but don't worry, the company the guy worked for didn't receive that many requests as it shipped expensive items for a lot of money so work was profitable but few and far between.

still, this day is pretty much one of the dullest of the year. about the only joke i've bothered with this year was asking my landlady to get out of bed early by telling her the time was later then it was. And that wasn't a joke that was planned, she needed to be out of bed early and I decided to just make use of April the first to make her hurry.
