April Fool’s Day – Love It or Hate It
Today is April Fool's Day. A day where you can expect a ton of lies and a ton of pranks played on unsuspecting people.
Let me be the first to say, I got pranked this morning. I started my day off getting up later than normal, it is just one of those mornings. I got to work on time, but I was a little off. Then as normal, when I got into the office, I walked in to the break room to make a fresh post of coffee, which usually means cleaning out the pot from yesterday's remnants of old coffee. I wasn't thinking about today. I was thinking I really want some coffee. Then it happened. I'm drenched, because someone taped down the sprayer on the sink.
Of course, I didn't find this funny one bit. It could be that I am tired and a little bit grumpy. It could be that I hate being in clothes and being wet, and it could be I have to go do a prize delivery today and wanted to look my best. However, even in my best moods I wouldn't have found it funny. I do have a sense of humor. I like funny things, but I don't like funny things at the expense of other people. If the prank hadn't of happened to me, but to someone else, I wouldn't have laughed at it.
I can't help but think, that as I get older I don't find this day at all funny or entertaining.
So my question is...
What kind of pranks and jokes do you think are appropriate or are they appropriate?
