I've always disliked April Fools Day, and jokes made at my expense in general. I don't get involved in that stuff. April 1st is when my favorite YouTuber posts outtakes from his past year's worth of recordings, but that's about as far as I'm willing to put up with it.
I'm with CRB. Mean does not equal funny. And "It's just a prank, bro" should be drug out into the street and shot.
I was picking up my prescription at Walgreens yesterday and saw a woman buying a snow shovel... at Walgreens... in APRIL!
As crazy as it maybe to believe. Snow can happen in April. I happened here shortly after I moved in with my uncle last year. But it may simply be that the lady need a new shovel after this year of crazy winter weather.
I've never seen it in April, at least not down here, but it's come pretty close. Back on March 27-28 or thereabouts in 2009, we got hit with a blizzard's worth of snow. At least two feet worth, with drifts as high as my parents' Toyota Matrix in places. It was well into April before it all melted. This doesn't seem too unusual at first, but the part of Kansas I live in isn't known for gratuitous snowfall.
Getting a new one at the end of the season isn't a bad idea. It was probably discounted a bunch, the store wants to get it out of inventory.
