Our local radio station always has a April Fools joke and there are always a lot of people who actually believe it. After the first time I caught on and I laugh every year at those who believe it.
One year they said that everyone should turn in their money to the bank because we were going to be getting all new money and people actually went to the bank.
Last year they said there was a census going on and that everyone should take their recyclable bins, turn them upside down, and write the number of people who lived in the house. You wouldn't believe how many of my neighbors fell for it.
There were a lot more, but I can't think of them right now.

What is your best April Fools joke?
I told my Hubby I was expecting. Everyone at work was telling me how great it was. Finally I told them Look Folks !!!! It's April Fools Day!!!!!
Three April fools jokes on me
When younger and in the Army I was told to go to the helicopter division and get some propeller wash. I did and they laughed. For those who don't know, propeller wash is the air that is created between the propeller blades when they are moving (in flight).
Next year I was told to go to the motor pool and get some infrared paint for the Captains jeep. I did and they laughed. No such thing, but they played along and asked if I had a clearance for it. Never mind the trips back and forth I made.
Third year I was told to go to the dispensary (medical facility) and get some cot splints for when we go out on alerts. Again no such thing and they all laughed.
Fourth year I told them not even to try anything anymore.
April fools joke...Myra Maynes
This is my favorite. I heard about it from a friend and tried it on my DH. I left him a pretend message with the phone number and a lady named Myra Maynes. The number was to our local funeral home. This is what happened:
DH: Hi, I got a call from Myra Maynes.
Funeral lady: Who, hon?
DH: Myra Maynes.
Funeral lady: Well, I don't know a Myra Maynes but let me go ask one of those IRS people. They are here today doing my audit.
Then she comes back on the line: Hon, those IRS people say that you're doing an April Fools joke! I just don't get it though.
This is totally true and totally not planned with the funeral home. DH still didn't get it either until I explained MY REMAINS. He was really mad at me, but I laughed so hard my bladder leaked!
yes. you can pay in April, but--sm
you may get a small fine for not paying quarterly. I paid in April last year and my fine was 129.00. Just thought I would let you know that.

Those of us that seem so negative and heavy, have no doubt been the ones to be used, abused, and hurt the most in relationships. Obviously, you have not had that experience yet, which would make you cautious in entering into any new relationship. Nobody likes to be hurt and in this day and age, trust should not be given easily. Even though you may know the person for some 20 years, as a poster below had mentioned, you never truly know what a person is like behind closed doors. When a person enters into a new relationship, the other person involved always puts their best foot forward. It may take years before the true personality shows itself. There is so much abuse in today's society, we have to do all we can to protect ourselves, emotionally and physically, and not to always take someone at face value. Those of us who answered with caution have no doubt been the ones to have been involved in those situations and we are just trying to help others keep their eyes open. I, for one, wish the OP a very happy future, but I also do not want to see anyone be hurt either. JMO.
as I know it - it's legal to pay in April...sm
you might want to just call any CPA's office or H&R Block office to ask that question and I don't think it varies state by state because it's the federales! *grin*
As long as it is ALL paid in by 4/15 - I think you're 100% fine. Why should they keep my $$ and use it all year? I can use it until then...*giggles*
Although still working, SS for me starts in April
so does it say when you would have to be drawing it before you are available for the $250.00? Thanks.
april 1st computer worm?
I heard a blip on the radio -- is there something to be worried about? Is it something Nortons software will handle? 
In April I start getting retirement money
Ok, don’t tell me to ask my accountant, don’t have so thought I would ask here. I plan on continuing to work because I want to. I am in the 30% tax range. Normally I would pay $600 per month as an independent on my taxes. With the new income, I should be paying $750.00 a month and that would be what I am making now plus the new retirement, which, of course, is counted as income and I have to pay taxes on that. This is what I am thinking- taking the $500+ per month and now I only have to take bimonthly $125.00 per month and that with the $500 per month and pay my income taxes. Does anyone have any ways to make this money grow until I pay my taxes quarterly? Banking of any kind, CDs, bonds, whatever. Any ideas out there? Thanks.
Anybody have any April's fool trick today?
In past years, my boss has tricked me; my exhusband tricked me (bad) and I got even. It is noon EST and all I got was my local newspaper e mailing me their headline that BigFoot was spotted in a nearby swamp. Hope that's all the tricks I get today... anybody got a good one to share? Happy April 1st!
