I was opting for a longer title, but GBAtemp wouldn't let me.
This is the start of what I hope will be a nice series of funny threads which have no political/religious agenda nor any of that vulgar crud you often find in what are supposed to be funny routines. Thus, stuff about sex, drugs, and rock and roll will be toned down for this thread.
...Okay, maybe not the rock and roll part. After all, I am GBAtemp's Wii Rock Band Hacker for a reason.
We're coming close to Halloween, so... let's talk about April Fool's Day! Makes sense... right?
Okay, well, maybe it's the "Trick or Treat" thing that gets me thinking about April Fool's. Two days in the year that you can pull pranks, right? I mean, who hasn't heard kids shout:
I mean, after all, if you don't give those little brats candy, they'll leave. Then, the next day, you'll walk outside to find that the trees are suddenly producing long, white strips of 2-ply stuff that you usually put in the bathroom! What a mess, right?
April Fool's Day is worse. So many pranks get pulled that people think are actually true. I hate these pranks. I dread April 1st. If only we would skip from March 31st to April 2nd. Better yet, maybe we should call April 1st "March 32nd"? ...Nah, skipping is better.
Remember the Taco Bell joke? How many people fell for that now? If you did and you're reading this, you're a sad case. Do you really think our government is so dense that they would give up one of the most famous American pieces of history to a fast food chain?!? Eh, don't answer that.
Yet it continues to fool people. That's because people are easy to influence. You can say "The grass is pink!" and they'll say -
"What shade of pink do you think that is?"
"And all this time I thought it was purple!"
"Pink grass and high tides foreverrrr..."
Now, everyone knows that it's actually orange. I think.
My point is, people will believe anything. You don't think you do? Okay, answer me this - how much do you want to be able to play Game Boy games on your Nintendo Switch? Aside from homebrew, it isn't possible right now, right? What if I were to tell you that I have insider information that Nintendo has made an accessory to the Switch and Switch Lite that will allow playing Game Boy Advance games on the Switch?
You wouldn't believe me now, because you know I'm lying. But what if I told you on April 1st, just out of the blue? Would you believe me -
QUICK! LOOK BEHIND YOU!
...Made you look, didn't I?
See what I mean? Even if you knew that I was pranking you, you couldn't resist peeking just to be sure I was telling the truth a couple of paragraphs ago. Just admit it. You can be fooled like the rest of us.
Practical jokes are the absolute worst, especially if done to a person with an anger management problem. I read of one guy who put a spider on another guy's stomach while sleeping, and he woke up and hit him.Hard. Had to go in the hospital for a ruptured appendix. Poor guy. He not only had a rude awakening, but surgery besides.
...Oh, did I not clear that up? I meant that the guy asleep hit the spider! It was a boy spider... I know, I'm not good at explaining things very well.
Anyway, six months from now (and a day), don't be fooled!

Kids can be so cruel.Trick or Treat! Smell my feet! We want something good to eat!
If you don't, I don't care. I'll pull down your underwear!
