April Fool!

The BBC surpassed their previous efforts today with a very clever TV news item showing previously unknown species of penguins flying. The are still best known for their report in the black and white days showing the start of the spaghetti harvest.

Right now I am looking local music awards show on TV .
My best friend is drummer in a band that is nominee for best punk/metal band title . There are 3 nominees , let´s call them A , B and C , my friend playing in ´C´.
So this award presenter ( a scandalous poet/former punk musician) comes to stage and and gives the award to the band ´A´ . They come to stage , accept their award , show goes on .
20 minutes later the show host is blushingly on air and says the presenter bet (wager?) on 10kg. candy at backstage that today , 1st. of April , he is giving the award to the band HE likes best . And the real winner is band ´C´ . So my best friend and his band went to accept their award . Lot´s of embarrasment and blushing ...

My daughter once asked me if spaghetti really grew on trees like mommy said it did. I told her that mommy was pulling her leg, everyone knows that macaroni grows on a bush!

I feel sorry for people who were born on April First. They're in worse shape than those born on February 29th.
