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.

It's really smelly!" exclaimed Grampa, who then opened the diaper and said "It looks like poop, (sniffed it) it smells like poop, (ran his finger through it and put it on his tongue) it even tastes like poop! Here, you taste it too." With a horrid look on his face, Coty kept trying to squirm away from Grampa who was smearing something on his cheek. He finally discovered he had been smeared with peanut butter! Ever since, Coty, now almost 18, has been trying to get even with his grandfather, but he isn't even close yet.
