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.

As a member of the Sun City Channel 51 Team, I have access to the scrolling list of Clubs and Ads we display. I put monthly-specific backgrounds on these items, i.e., February: hearts; March: four-leaf clovers; April: rain; etc.

My "joke" for April 1 is a scroll running across the bottom of the screen saying: On Tuesday, April 1, today, NASCAR will be conducting 1/4 mile time trials on Del Webb Blvd. from 1-5 p.m.

This is the first time a joke has ever been played on all of Sun City Hilton Head. I'm looking forward to this.
