been much for April Fool's pranks. I'm not very good at pulling them off and sometimes I misplace my humor bone when it comes to the receiving end.

April Fools pranks have moved beyond cultural rites of passage and are no longer the exclusive domain of friends or neighbors. Many businesses have embraced the spirit of the day. In Los Angeles, popular morning radio DJs Mark & Brian revisited a simple but effective gag this April 1st, lowering the on-air volume to barely audible levels before blasting the ears of gullible listeners everywhere.
