April Fool’s Day is mercifully now over for another year so we can all breathe a deep sigh of relief.
But some pranks crossed the line from harmless into downright cruel.

Enter one wife with a diabolical plan to trick her golf-loving husband.
This poor guy was on his way to the golf course for a morning tee time when he got an unexpected call from a number he didn’t recognise.
The woman on the line was his wife, but she disguised her voice to break the news that his round had been cancelled.

Wow, that’s rough.
She gets an “A” for the acting – especially while nursing a baby. Talk about multi-tasking!
And she also gets extra credit for downloading an app to disguise her phone number.
‘Bizarre circumstances’
Not only was her husband nearly at the course having driven for 45 minutes, he’s being told that a combination of rain, beavers and alligators were the reason he’d lost his tee time.
To be fair, he probably should have picked up on the fact that this was a prank due to those bizarre circumstances, but, in his defence, it was still early in the morning and he’s got a baby, so we’ll give him a pass.
“That’s not funny, that’s just mean,” he says when finally tipped off to it being an April Fool’s prank.
We agree. Even if it was (really) well done.
In any event, it’s great he got to play golf after all.
Be honest, have you ever fallen hook, line and sinker for an April Fool’s prank?
