I got an email from the Student Travel Agency. It said it has a new deal called seat share. It mentioned only one person sit in the seat at home time and they would have to share the inflight meal.
Okay, it all turned out to be a joke for April Fool's joke. You see April 1st is the day for fools. One of my friends has a daughter called Gabs and it is her eleventh birthday today.
Did you ever fall for an April Fool's Day joke?
Do you have any silly like day in your home country?

Yes we have the April Fools day here. I do not know if I ever fell for one recently. I did years ago but well do not keep a diary or a journal to record all the events. But our radio stations do come up with some doozies such as changing the weather, the Queen coming to visit, etc. but as for me, the usual jokes were someone saying boo behind you or saying that they lost something, but nothing really serious.

At times newspapers or Tv channels do run some jokes on this day. Yet, now I see lesser excitement for this day. May be, people have become extra cautious.

It has been a long time since I have played a joke on someone on the April Fool's Day and gosh I really miss the old times a lot! I used to play a small (read harmless) prank on my cousins on the Fool's Day when I was a kid.
I have been the victim of these pranks too a lot many times. Though most of the incidents happened when I was a kid, a recent incident happened when one of the Product that our company uses was said to be launched again in a forum that many people use. Everyone was delighted (Since that product was being used by a number of users), but it all turned out to be a sham. It was saddening to see the product not being there anymore, but we all had a good laugh later on.

sometimes i read something and i forgot it is April 1st, i sometimes come to believe that it was an April Fool's joke, only to realize later it was only a joke. also i decided to do an april fool prank and joke to someone and he fell for it, he thought it was really true and serious. i think not all in my country would do it but some people here do try to do a prank on this day.

Fortunately you did not suffer any loss from the joke. No one had tricked me during April's fool day all these years. It seems like not widely practiced in my place. I guess that is good in a way because less people would get fooled.

It's my cousins birthday on April 1st, he will be 36 today. There is also this rule about April Fool's that you cannot do it after 12pm otherwise the joke backfires onto you. Not sure why that was part of it. I haven't played an April Fool on someone for longer than I can remember, I do remember at school the teachers always seemed to get one over on us, and every single pupil in the class would fall for it hook, line and sinker!

Now "April Fool's Day" is an international event. I don't know how it came from. In past many times I became fool and made fool others. But today I totally forgotten this day. In this day first I usually make fool my wife or she makes fool me. Really I enjoy April Fool's joke.

My brother's birthday is April Fools Day. It is certainly fitting as he is nuts!

I fell for one too! Lol. Someone on my FB page, who I am kind of in business with said she was moving to another town. I need her here! I was a little upset by it and then she said April Fool's. Ugh, I wanted to smack her! LOL.

I have fallen twice for an April Fool's Day joke, too. Both were online. The first was years ago, when I was still playing Pet Society. There was an alert saying that I could play Pet Soc in 3D. Curious, I checked it out. It turned out to be a joke. The second one was just an hour ago, I think. Because I'm still a solid Harry Potter fan even if the series is over, I often visit Mugglenet. Today I saw a post there saying that the Guardian reported that they found a letter from a Minister of Magic to JK Rowling, which suggests that the magical world is real. I am already familiar with this kind of claims, but since it came from Mugglenet, I read it anyway and almost believed it. Then I scrolled down and I saw the comments saying that whatever Mugglenet posts on April 1 is an April Fool's Day joke.
I'm not annoyed that I got fooled. April Fool's day won't be complete without jokes, will it?

Well, so far I have been quite careful on April fool's day. So far i have escaped April Fool's jokes. Yet, some of my friends do tell some tales of April Fool jokes. April Fool jokes are more prevalent in schools than during later years.

Hi Maximax April 1st has always been a special day for me as it was my Mother's birthday. She passed away April 18th five years ago, I still miss her dearly she was a fun loving type of person and loved people, I always enjoy hearing about the April fool's jokes or anyone who shares this special day. I do remember having a joke played on me it was the "sugar bowl" where my son had put salt in it and we still laugh about it to this day.
