I love humor and think I have a good sense of it; however, anything mean-spirited dampens my fun. I agree with Dani.

One is that I am extremely gullible, and therefore a perfect target for AFD gags. And let's be honest... these pranks are only fun for the prankERS. That is a selfish reason though. My other reason is that, more often than not, it just seems so darn mean-spirited. The point of AFD jokes seems to be about making another person uncomfortable and then getting to say, HAHA fooled you! U R DUM!" and then feeling superior. Okay, well, I do like that last part. Ande it's not that I am devoid of the joys of good old-fashioned schadenfreude! At all. But not mean-spiritedness for it's own sake. Hm, I think I tangented. I believe I was supposed to be talking about whether AFD jumped the shark or something. Whatever. Conclusion: you're all mean and I'm going home. ;) I’ve never really gotten into April Fools’ Day, and I suspect there are two reasons.

Someting that will outdo all the years past. I don't think that is what April Fools' Day should be about. It should be the little things we do to eachother. Little fun pranks or jokes that get a lugh or two out of you and the victim and possibly a group of friends later. Of course, the "I'm pregnant" thing still seems to work on most guys... :) The problem I see is that everyone expects something huge. Someting that will outdo all the years past.

It's a day for you to be observant even if you aren't during the rest of the year! I think April Fools day is for pranksters like Christmas/Easter is for Catholics.
