Today is the first day of April. We can expect pranks and silly jokes from friends and fake news from the media. I have found this quote that I like and I want to share with you: "Today is April fool day. Believe nothing and trust no one... Just like any other day." Nothing fool in this quote. Did you experience funny April fool jokes?

That quote would certainly hold true in England, where for all intents and purposes every day may as well be 1st April.

@LadyDuck I was informed by a friend of mine that a bakery in my home town of Bolton is promoting left handed sandwiches today.

I've not played any jokes on anybody since I was a teenager, but I like to see the pranks that make the news. People can be very inventive. That's a great quote.

I've never cared for April Fool's Day. I have seen some funny pranks though on YouTube. I have a cousin who was born on April Fool's Day.

I have an uncle and an aunt who were born on April Fool's Day. They are so different one from the other that this always led me to think that even the horoscope is not something you can trust.

Great quote! Kind of reminds of the one that says: "Blessed are those that do not expect anything as they will not be disappointed."

@LadyDuck Yes, when we are kind and do good and do not expect anything, once in a while we are happily surprised at what happens.

Happy April Fools Day Anna. It has been years that I played any prank on anyone. But yes, last year (though it wasnt April 1st), I fell to one from MysD on Facebook

@LadyDuck No nothing of that kind. She has fallen to a prank on a Chain Message - those where they tell you to ask some questions and if someone replies you ask them to carry forward the message. She is too gentle and I doubt she would play a prank with many (if not any) of us around.

Hello! No one told me a joke today! I was in the office all day and everyone was busy and serious. Even my friends who calls me every year to say a silly joke from the phone was too busy today. I like the quote by the way, it's very true! haha How about you, did you experience any jokes?

@LadyDuck Haha.. They make jokes like that in the news too.. It sounds like a cold joke when it comes from the live news but I've never read one in the newspaper! Did it start like a regular news post and they were announcing it was the joke of the day at the end?

No, I had a quiet day and did not experienced any jokes, except something published by our local newspaper about the possibility of a change of weather due to the second tunnel under the Ghottard, that in reality was only a joke.

@LadyDuck I always was told that you're the Fool if you try to make a fool of anyone after mid-day on April Fool's Day. Perhaps it is a myth...

I didn't but my brother did. His new boss called and told him that the company had decided to sell his property and they didn't have a position for him anymore. My brother got so upset since we had just moved but quickly found out that it was an April Fool's joke.

a gay colleague who is my former student, posted on FB that he impregnated a woman and he even showed the pregnancy kit with 2 red lines. I did not believe that. When I read the comments, but was a prank, for he has a boyfriend.
