Slog - Comments on April Fools Cruelty http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/april_fools_cruelty From Slog commenter Hernandez: I've already been the victim of an April Fool's prank today—co-worker comes up to me all excited and says "Did you hear? Hillary Clinton dropped out of the race!" Took me a minute to put 2 and 2 together... ...that was really cruel....

I mean I only fell for that "gullible isn't in the dictionary" prank once but I've never lived it down. I hide in my house all day, viewing every e-mail suspiciously and jumping every time the phone rings.

I've just taken this prank into two offices at my business and used it very successfully. Nobody suspected; everyone was aghast. As their excitement grew, I gave it the pinprick with a slimy smile and a "April Fools!"

It's a good one.

I even angrily hauled out my Webster's 2nd to prove it. My tormenter then asked me if my picture was there illustrating the word.
