Subject: April Fool's Day

April Fool's Day (April 1st) is traditionally the day where people play pranks on others. Although most Americans think the day is a US tradition, it began in France in 1564 and spread to England in the 1600's.

Mrs JimJr gets her kicks in too from time to time. Away for a two week seminar, I called her, and after she said "Hello", I said, "I wish I were there now. I'd tear all your clothes off, embrace you madly and then make passionate love."

There was a pause, and then she said, "Who is this ???"

A Yuppie rushed into the Columbia Pharmacy and frantically said, "Quick Doc -- I've swallowed some herbicide and must have an antidote."

The pharmacist, thinking a prank was being played on him, replied, "You've come to the right place. It seems there was an Irishman, a Priest and a Rabbi..."

I will confess to being somewhat of a prankster, just to watch the reaction from my victim. For reasons of their own my GrandChildren wanted a cat. I saw an ad for a "Free to good home Persian."

The woman began extolling the bloodline, virtues, training, etc., when I interrupted with: "Never mind all that lady -- is he tender ?"

The Navy always tries to discourage "sick call" to keep the sailors on duty. Two Corpsmen were standing around when a new Seamen entered Sick Bay. The sailor asked if the ship's doctor was any good.

"Good ?" said one Corpsman. "He doesn't fool around at all. A guy came in with cramps and the doc cut off his foot."

"And remember the guy with erysipelas ?" asked the second Corpsman. "The doc lobbed off his right ear."

The sailor, turned a pale shade of green and said, "I'll be back later. I've just got a mild case of jock rash."
