April Fool's
I wish every day were April Fool's Day. To me, it's a get-out-of-jail-free card for all the things I wish I hadn't said. Dumb or silly, ambiguous or awkward, there's no faux pas that can't be fixed by saying "April Fool's!" with a big smile and quickly changing the subject.
Here's a conversation that I wish had happened on April 1.
Years ago, my friend Eugene's then-girlfriend/now-wife Winnie was visiting town. Eugene was on call one night, so Winnie and I had dinner together. Winnie is a dear friend now, but at the time we were just beginning to get to know each other. One exchange went like this.
Winnie: I rarely drink alcohol. How about you?
Me: Oh no, I never drink. It interferes with the buzz I get from smoking weed.
(awkward silence)Now imagine what could have been.
Winnie: I rarely drink alcohol. How about you?
Me: Oh no, I never drink. It interferes with the buzz I get from smoking weed.
(awkward silence)
Me: April Fool's!
Winnie: Oh! Good one.
(we both laugh)
Me: Seriously though, I drink Coors when I toke up.

Hmm...weed would not have been my choice. But, it is a nice get-out-of-jail-free card. However, there are some people that can't get away with anything, Apirl Fool's or not.
Damn I forgot it's April 1st. Sigh I thought you were serious when you said I was "hilarious" and gave me a "thumbs up".
So that explains the earthy odors I smelled coming from your room.
I'm thinking you don't like talking to Winnie much.
@amazngrace - Winnie is one of my favorite people. That exchange was a long time ago.
For the record, I've never smoked mary jane. I've never had a Coors either.
"I've never smoked mary jane. I've never had a Coors either."
So, is this the April's fools part? Although I almost believe the latter half...
Or is it that Winnie is one of your favorites?
April Fool's is so confusing...
haha! speaking of april fool's -- someone got me good this year. i'll tell you about it.
