It turns out to a lot of local folks, pulling pranks is no joke.

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.
