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.

Forty years ago we had an unforgettable April Fools’ blessing!
In 1968, I was pregnant with our first child. My husband, Jack, a graduate student at the University of Missouri, was invited to speak in Chicago, at his first-ever conference. Given my condition, Jack was reluctant to attend, but my doctor gave him a thumbs-up, saying I wouldn't give birth for at least another week.
So, the same day Jack drove off to the conference I took my mother to see the film, "The Graduate." We were about to take our seats when suddenly my water broke. The theater manager acted immediately; he escorted us to the exit doors, and gave us a refund, stuffing dollar bills into my purse. At 3:28 a.m., while Jack was pacing the floor in his Chicago hotel room, our son, Michael, was born.
On April 1 of this year Michael turns 40!
His birth remains our most blessed and memorable April Fools’ surprise!
