About This Newsletter

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.
         ― Soren Kierkegaard

The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
         ― Arthur Schopenhauer

A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.

Letter from the editor

As this newsletter comes out, April Fools' Day is imminent or, as I like to call it, Comedy Christmas. Which means that I, as someone who sometimes thinks he's funny, have One Job:

Hide.

I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: I'm going to spend AFD in my bunker, alone, avoiding the world. See, when people think you're a joker, they'll pull AFD pranks on you. But they can't do it if you're in hiding -- unless, of course, they know where your hiding place is, but that would defeat the purpose of it being a hiding place.

I'm also not quite clever enough to come up with harmless pranks, nor am I willing to copy other peoples' pranks. But other people don't have these problems, so if you can't come up with your own, I've scoured the internet looking for April Fools pranks, secure in the knowledge that no one will be able to use them on me because... hiding place.

Yes, some of these are going to be duplicates. But that's the thing about April Fools jokes: they're funny more than once. As long as they're not played on me, in which case they are never funny.

Here's 48 ideas  Open in new Window. from this year, so they're probably COVID-safe. But I couldn't get through the whole article because I was laughing too hard. As a warning, though: if you ever play #8 on me, I will hunt you down and I will end you.

Then there's 15  Open in new Window. from Good Housekeeping,which should as a result be forced to change their name.

These are kinda lame  Open in new Window., but what do you expect from Reader's Digest? They're the exact polar opposite of "edgy."

Kids need to learn  Open in new Window. from an early age to Not Trust Anyone, so here are some aimed at the rugrats. Just remember: they're eventually going to grow up and choose your nursing home.

And here are some  Open in new Window. from Bored Panda. The airhorn one never fails to crack me up. Well, unless it's done to me, that is.

Now, I'm not one to issue disclaimers, but I will this time. Think through the possible consequences of any prank you decide to pull, and ask yourself: Is it worth it to play this prank on someone, or am I going to end up having to move to a different country to escape their wrath?

Just remember, Comedy Christmas is observed in all countries, so be sure you have a secret bunker to which you can retreat until they cool off.
