April Fool's!
Now I suppose you're expecting something funny. Well, if it was going to be funny, then I just spoiled it. Sorry.
Now, when I was little, April Fool's day seemed a big deal. I never seemed able to pull off jokes though. My 4 older siblings never fell for them, and I don't think my younger sister did either. Maybe I'm just not meant to be a jokester.
Some of the fun jokes I've heard about or that have been attempted on me:
Web pages backwards
Penny no longer legal tender as of Friday at 5pm
Every Flavour beans in place of j elly b elly beans.
Not many others are coming to mind. Mine were generally lame- this am I tried to say we were getting more snow...not a happy thought for all of us who got dumped on. I mean, the snow is melting, daily, but we still have a lot of it!
Any fun jokes you care to share? (Please, no playing any here!)

'Twas brillig and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
I somehow think there should be more syllables in the last line there... Too bad you can't just rewrite other people's poems when you aren't fully satisfied with them, hey?
I didn't do too much this year--when I got coffee for people, I got it black (though I did bring their cream and sugar, too--I just made them panic for a moment or two--someone said I should have gotten decaf...), put a Heath bar in a Skor wrapper for someone who likes Heath bars and thinks that Skor is really different, and made a website go backwards. Though I cheated for the last one--I wrote a program to reverse all of the letters in all the words.
sorry don't know jabberwocky. mmm, not much april foolishness happening here, but i did have a coworker who thought it was tuesday on wednesday... hmmm.
Pete, if you pronounce mome "moh-may" it works.
