:shocked:

I thing there was similar talk a while ago about an e-mail tax. I wonder how this will effect U2U messages and MSN instant messanger ?

Could the name 'April Premier' give the game away just a little bit?

Good try - but not as good as the 'That's Life' April Fool gag many years ago when they had the 'Lirpaloof' dog driving a car - that was brilliant! :colour: :spin2: :colour:

Anyone else have a favourite April Fool gag? :joker:

There was an actual Hoax chain E-mail about an E-mail tax in the USA Bill 602P (http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blemtax2.htm) a while ago.

What is even funnier is that during a live debate between Hillary Clinton and Rick Lazio, they were asked about this phony bill, and no one knew it was a hoax and responded as if it was real :spin:

Sticks, I'm afraid the combination of the date, your name and the title of the post were all it took for me to think "OK I'll read on to see the April Fool's joke".

Nice one though - would never have thought of something like that!! :spin:

No, you're right, Chad. Unfortunately Sticks' scanned newspaper article was a bit big for the normal width of the forum page.

Any chance of making them a little bit smaller in future, Sticks? Pretty please! :thumbs:
