and the door to the work week is slammed shut

Now that the work week door is slammed shut, what do you have on your agenda? I hope you have a fun-packed weekend!  Did you get a chance to pull any good April Fool's jokes today? I like the ones that happen on the radio because they always play the unsuspecting callers. I remember when a station kept playing the same song over and over for half an hour. The announcer would say, "And up next we have Pearl Jam" and then the same U2 song would play. "Here's Coldplay!" And the same U2 song would come on. Callers were incensed. They were raving at the DJs, calling them idiots, saying they should be fired. Classic. 
Or there was the time a girl in my class at university was late for an exam because she believed the April Fool's day prank when they announced on the radio that the space shuttle had to make an emergency landing in Vancouver and if you drove out to location x, you could see this historic event. That gullibility made her half an hour late for the exam and caused her a whole lot of ridicule from classmates. The professor would continuously point out the window, drawing the girl's attention to passing birds, "oooh, look! Sorry, I thought it was the shuttle." As an homage to the space shuttle prank, here's Major Tom, covered by Shiny Toy Guns. Have a great weekend! April 2 & 3rd's 365 photo will be posted April 4 as I will be away from a computer this weekend.
