I love the 1st of April. I hardly ever take it so far as to actually trick anyone, mainly because I have no talent. If I am around people I frequently get tricked (one way or another), being generally gullible: I once looked out the window after having been told that there was a fun fair on the lawn outside a cabin in the middle of the Norwegian mountains -- hilarity ensued.
What I love about today is that it forces me to be critical of what I read in the papers. It is something I should be doing every day, of course.
