it is only fair to tell you that if you spend the night at my house on April's Fools Day EVE, you will wake to find tissue paper stuffed into your shoes ... a family tradition (at which my family probably still groans)!
April Fools!

This is a one-time AF joke, but we still laugh about it. It happened one AF day after my husband, Jim, and I had seen houses in the neighborhood covered with tents. It was obviously an extermination, but we wondered "of what?" A few days later on AF day it happened that our exterminator was scheduled for service. I met the exterminator and said, "Help me play an AF joke on my husband. Tell him we have 'spermites,'that they eat through concrete, that it will cost $2000 to get rid of them and that you will have to come back and put a tent on our house." I could see Jim and the exterminator discussing something very seriously in the back yard. The exterinator was holding something in his hand and showing it to Jim. The exterminator left and I joined Jim outside. Jim looked devastated. He told me, as if the world had come to an end, "We have spermites!" I kept a straight face while Jim explained the details. When I said "April Fool," Jim didn't believe me. He said, "NO, he showed me the eggs." It took me all day to convince him that it was a joke. In the end, he felt great - like he was $2000 richer.
