Here’s a scenario that I’d like you to approach with an open mind: It’s April first — “April Fools’ Day” — and you’re minding your own business. Doing your job, or tiding up the house, or raising a child, or whatever it is you do day-to-day. You receive a call from your sister — WHOM YOU LOVE — and she frantically explains that she has shot and killed her husband, is cleaning up the mess, and needs help burying him in a specific place she has chosen. Do you:

• A. Call the police
• B. Become momentarily fooled by her terrific prank, only to soon realize what she’s done and playfully tell her that you’re going to shoot HER
• C. Laugh right away and tell her that she has just performed the best April Fools’ prank you’ve ever heard of

I’d like you to keep your answer (Answer C, right?) in mind as we watch this local news clip.

UH, THANKS A LOT FAMILY! We’ll see who turns to you next time, when she REALLY murders her husband and needs help getting rid of the body! AND WE’LL ALSO SEE WHO SHARES WITH YOU HER PERFECT APRIL FOOLS’ PRANK NEXT YEAR! Say goodbye to fun, ’cause its house just got surrounded and it’s being taken to god damn jail! (PS: The news station couldn’t have found a calendar to zoom in on that didn’t so clearly highlight Holocaust Remembrance Day when they were talking about “a favorite day” for pranks?) (C’mon, guys!) (Also, the next calendar shot mostly highlights February 2014?) (YOU GUYS GOTTA STEP UP YOUR CALENDAR GAME OVER THERE!) (Thanks for the tip, werttrew!)
