   Llamas make great pets, are even tempered and easy to handle, hardly ever get sick, soft, don’t smell, don’t eat much, never doody in their own pasture, never spit on or stomp to death anyone in the owners family unless they deserve it, haul tremendous loads you can’t carry over any mountain of your choosing and lick stamps better than any other per alive.

   Sadly, no one licks stamps anymore but you can shave us and use our wool to make the finest human winter wear and milk some of us, preferably females, to make fine Llama Limburger which is way better than Yak Yogurt or any soy product if you ask a llama.

   April 1st is worldwide adopt a Llama without a pasture day. We’re counting on ya to thin the homeless herd a little today – so don’t let us down and make yourself proud for once in your life by doing the right thing and adopting a deserving if loony looking llama today.

   The kids at school are all tagging each other with fish, “Poisson d’Avril” as it’s known in French. That’s about the limit of it. That, and the forecast for snow, I suppose.

   AOL had an article today reporting that the Oldsmobile brand had been bought by Toyota, who are planning to use it for luxury SUV’s. I fell for it completely.

   Somehow I suspect that the “Museum of Hoaxes” is itself a hoax. They tell you to look at this exhibit or that, but give no address for the building in the photo.

   Do people get fooled by April Fools Day jokes anymore? How many people don’t know what day it is?

   This morning I was watching a morning show from LA. One of the regulars walked off the show and later another was escorted out by a studio guard. The only reaction I had was to wonder if they really thought their audience was that stupid. I turned it off.

   Have you all heard about the discovery of the Sea of Galilee today?

   A co-worker called her boss to tell her that the group’s supervisor was out today because he had broken his ankle. He fell for it, and asked “Are you kidding?” not because he thought she was, but as an expression of dismay. She said that she was – but later wished she had let him think it was true for a bit longer. (He happens to be rather easy to fool or to tease – turns red with embarrassment but never gets made about it – so she takes advantage of the opportunities.)

   I’ve been waiting two years for an upgrade to our job-monitoring software, because the new version will make it possible to alter the colors used to indicate status of a job. Usually it’s green, yellow means a job is on hold, and red means a job aborted. But with the new version we could reverse the colors – at least one day a year. Unfortunately we’ve been having compatibility issues with other software, so we still haven’t upgraded yet.

   Mickey,

   That opens up a whole new can of worms. Were the footprints in the water or on the water. And if on, were they able to get molds of them? Does that mean a Bible which says He walked on the water is error if He walked in the water?

   True story from the Washington Times.
   We have evidence of the proof of astrology. It seems Mars and Jupiter are in sign opposition. That means, Jupiter is in Capricorn, while Mars is in Cancer. When this happens,
   “Senators will find themselves in direct contradiction between what they say and do, governors will disclose hidden sexual trysts, and mayors will have intimate text messages come to light.”

    My daughter said to her father at breakfast: “When are you going to tell Mom?”

    “Tell her what?”

    “Dad! You know.”

    He looks up from paper. “Know what?”

    “You’re going to spoil the surprise!” She darts a look at me calmly making their lunch while my brain begins to whirl.

    He sets down the paper and stares at her. “What are you talking about?”

    Me: “It must be a joke from the comics.”

    “Ah,” he says. “The date gave it away.”

    The teenager laughed and flounced off.

    At least I hope it was a joke . . .
