We asked our readers to submit their favorite pranks for April Fools’ Day, and fools rushed in to share their top stunts and hoaxes. Suffice it to say, there are some dirty, rotten pranksters around town.
We voted, and have published three of our favorites here. These and all other submissions are posted on our Web site at islandpacket.com/aprilfools. Read them carefully to guard against becoming the victim of any practical jokes today.
And when you’re done reading, go out and try one of those new left-handed Whoppers. We hear they’re quite tasty.

I wasn’t overly concerned when I returned to my Florida home after a flight from New York and found the house in darkness, but where was my husband of 50 years when I didn’t have a key? Neither did my neighbors who invited me in to sit and have coffee.
Twenty minutes later, their doorbell rang. A 40-ish looking biker wearing a read bandana on his head, a flag no less, a sleeveless shirt, a three-week beard, torn jeans, large earrings and numerous tattoos, entered the kitchen. I was in shock. What does one say to such a rebel? How did my conservative neighbors even come to know him? After 15 minutes of stilted conversation, the earrings looked familiar and the light dawned.
My biker is now 80. The beard and tattoos are gone, but my husband is still a rebel at heart.
