No On April Fools!

When I was growing up my sister, Myra, was deathly afraid of spiders.  Being young and dumb I thought I would be funny and play an April Fool's joke on her.  So I told her I saw a spider sitting on her neck.  The sheer terror and panic in her eyes and her dance of horror as she tried to brush the "spider" off of her body is something I still remember fifty years later. It took us quite awhile to calm her down and reassure her everything was okay.  Therefore, I don't think I have ever done an April Fool's joke since and that is why I am not such a big fan of them.
