my favorite April Fools joke was played on me back in High School. I went to a parochial high school in So. CA. It was small, with the classrooms surrounding an open quad. Fairly strict...no going off-campus for lunch, etc. This was my freshman year.
Well, the day or a couple of days before April 1 some friends from the local public high school came to drop something off for me. I snuck out to the parking lot to get it. One thing led to another and I ended up jumping in their car and we went to McDonald's for lunch.
I thought I had made it, when they dropped me off. Still with my unfinished coke in my hand I ran hurredly back into the quad. Who did I run into but one of the Brothers...he was a teacher of mine who later became principal. I was flustered and made up some excuse (he hand't even asked for one)...it was windy, my papers blew into the parking lot and I had to fetch them. All the while hiding my McDonald's cup behind me in the folds of my uniform.
Well, some friends at school knew I did this. I walked into French class on April 1st and there was a note from the office stating I was in trouble and needed to go at once. I froze. My heart dropped. I probably turned white as a sheet.
Then my friend, Mark, stated laughing. He had gotten ahold of an office pad and thought it would be a great joke. It was. Took me a while to stop shaking. LOL!
