Default should we ban April fools day petition ?

should we ban April fools day petition ? 01.04.15

the sun is up and has risen
lining the sky that is blue
a beautiful day won't soften
i will spill the beans and be true.
by the end i will be sitting swank
last year your time i stole
if only your memory i could blank
because this year i want to steal your sole.
please don't surrender
let me build a case
you can reply and return to sender
if you enjoy the chase.
how is this going to finish
i will have to take responsibility
the brain did crumble and diminish
that's why solely i can not accept liability.
i no you are getting nervous
thinking what the hell am i reading
trust me that my whole is enormous
i need my heart filled or its for ever bleeding.
will you commit
a bit similar to a wife
i am going to rub you better then any cl it
this is more then once a day for life.
you have to do my washing and ironing
my palace has to be spotless and smell good
there will be no whining or moaning
and pure silence when starts the "big brother hood".
please place below your application
trust me life is going to be cool
the forum members below gave me satisfaction
for once in my life 01.04.15 i am not the fool.

"should we ban April fools day petition ? "

The thread title makes it appear that WaterHog is proposing banning his own petition.

I thought it was an April Fools Day joke.

Apparently I heard in the news that the Govt was going to be forced due to European legislation to change the rules relating to the current Calendar due to the metric system.

They are going to insist starting from next year we make the first day of each month the "0" of the Month and the 1st will effectively become the second day of the Month.

This is due to the metric system where the number "0" is actually the first whole number.

More Euro meddling..................Grrrr !!!!

This was the best ever April Fools day hoax - from a time when people knew how to enjoy a bit of humour (even though a great number of the public FELL FOR IT!)

Yes, it's rather pointless, just one day a year for people to try and be funny, but fail... also, if April Fools is a must, then shops should not be allowed to stock silly string for devil minions to buy and use as they will

I tried to tell my 5 year old that when cats grow up they become dogs. She was like "Ooooh, intersssting" as I continued to explain, then after a few minutes of me waffling on she said "Daddy, I know it's just an April's Joke you know..."

kids these days, so jaded.

I think it's becoming a bit outdated now.

It's easier to spot what is an April fools these days, so many people make really dire attempts at it too it's just embarrassing for them more than anyone else. Humour is all good and I like a laugh as much as the next person. But half of what I've seen today has been people/sites/companies trying to create a very serious story for jokes lolz, and it's just... not funny.

Wouldn't it be great if someone was adopted, and their birthday was April 1st, and they didn't know they were adopted, and then on their 18th birthday the adoptive parents were like, "18 YEAR APRIL FOOLS you're adopted and you were found on a doorstep so no one knows your exact birthday"
