What April Fool's Jokes Have Made You Laugh?

Have you played a joke on someone in Avon, been a part of a school prank or been the victim of an April Fool's Day joke? Tell us in the comments!

The last April Fool's Day joke someone played on me was showing me a fake trailer for a non-existent Harry Potter spinoff television series.

Sadly, I will not be adding "Prefects" to my TV line-up (unless the joke was that the show isn't launching until this year). But with all of the serious parts of life, a sense of humor is important.

While Avon Patch promises not to play any April Fool's Day jokes on our readers, we'd love to hear your stories about local pranks.

In a 2011 April Fool's Day article, Avon Patch asked readers to share their stories about April Fool's pranks in town. Avon resident Michael Trick commented that in April of 1989 "WCCC told the world that there was a volcano erupting on Avon Mountain. It caused a traffic jam of people trying to get a look. I heard it was a site to see. After a short time they demanded the station tell everyone that it was a hoax."
