Good Job Joe! I think this is the second year in a row that I've fallen for your April Fool's joke.

Yeah, that ad had me going last night. I spent most of the ride home today thinking WTF??? The April Fools' day thing simply never occurred to me.

Very funny Joe. I can normally spot a April fools joke, but you got me good. I even told my wife about your good fortune. It was the amount of detail that it made it very believable. Good one.

A few years ago a radio station Triple J ran a story that Sydney had lost the Olympics. What made that believable was that Richard Wilkins announced on the Today Show that he had late breaking news that Sydney had lost the Olympics. The only problem was that Richard Wilkins wasn't in on the joke, he thought he was covering a ground breaking story which he had heard on morning radio. He looked like a total fool, which he is.

CHEERS.

Mark.
