April 1st

In the spirit of today, I wrote the following on my Forecast/Events board today at work:

• Exciting News! Whistler to host 2014 Olympics! Sochi has pulled out, so we're doing it again. Excited!
• Extremely hot weather in the forecast. Today could be the last day of skiing of the year.

I've tricked about four people. Some people stare at the board, and then walk away with a smile. One guy said "Hot weather? Is this some sort of joke?" He was upset that I would put an untruth on the board like that. I asked him what date the board said, and he said "Thursday, April 1st..." and then understood.

So that was funny.
