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.

In March of 1983, my boyfriend Joel and I flew to New Orleans for a long weekend. We spent four glorious days touring and eating our way through this beautiful city. The morning we were to fly home Joel came to my room to collect my suitcases. He said, "Lets go out on the balcony and take one last look at the city." Once we were out on the balcony he took my hand and said, "Will you marry me?"
I was speechless for several reasons. The main reason being, that it was April 1! I stood there trying to determine if he was kidding. He finally said, "Well, are you going to answer me?" I then asked, "Are you serious?" He then said, "Why would I joke about something as serious as a marriage proposal?" I then told him that it was April Fools’ Day. Several moments later, when I realized that he had been serious, I said, "Yes." Now 25 years later we are still trying to figure out which of us the joke was on.
