I Crack Myself Up!

Let's get one thing straight...

I am a complete goofball and willing to do a lot of things for a laugh.

April Fool's Day presents a lot of pressure for someone like me. You just gotta pull someone's leg today, and some people go to great lengths to make "fake" food, short sheet the bed, or a try a million other gags. Every year I tell myself I will do some planning and pull off a great prank on April 1st. And then I wake up on April 1st and realize I have nothing up my sleeve. Shoot!

Well, this year I came up with a little joke that has worked brilliantly for a last minute prank.

Remember my new socks I was telling you about from "Pippi's Longstockings" in Ft. Bragg? Well they are playing a part in my joke. I decided to wear them to work today, because they were green and matched my sweater. Then my plan hatched while I was driving to work.

I arrived at work and set my things in my office and turned on my computer. Then I slightly limped to my boss' office where she asked me like always "How are you doing this morning?".

Perfect! She's walking right into my plan....

Me: "Well, I'm ok, I guess..."

Her: "Why, what's wrong?"

Me: " I got bit this morning."

Her: "Really? By what?"

Me: (as I slowly and carefully pull up my pant leg like I'm in pain) "Ouch... well by...

...... (the big reveal! ) my alligator socks!"



If you missed my sock blog, the socks look like the alligator has eaten my foot and is biting my lower leg... teeth and all. Get it?

I know it's soooo 3rd grade humor, but it has made over a dozen people crack up today! And I felt so smart for being creative.
