Have I posted this before? Found it when going through my blog-drafts. I no longer remember where I got it from originally. Someone’s Facebook page perhaps.

April Fool’s News
In Sweden we often get April Fool’s jokes in the newspapers on 1 April. Yesterday at breakfast I was not quite aware of the date yet so for a second or so a “what?!” flashed through my brain… The story to go with this photo was that the town had taken the decision to officially change its name to a “dot.com” address and had already put up the road signs with the new name.
Do you get April Fool’s News where you live?
The scary thing is that sometimes it’s becoming kind of hard to tell the April Fool’s news apart from the real ones. This one in our local paper I think was a good one - it’s funny without doing any harm. But I read in an online article that some of the false news this 1 April were more questionable and might have caused more serious worry until they were revealed as jokes (like false warnings about medical side effects).

ABC Wednesday – J for Just Joking
Just a few umbrella handles….
Why did your sister cut a hole in her new umbrella ?
- Because she wanted to be able to tell when it stopped raining.
'You never get anything right,' complained the teacher.
'What kind of job do you think you'll get when you leave school ?'
- 'Well, I want to be the weather girl on TV.'
How did you find the weather at camp?
- It was easy. I just went outside - and there it was!
What is the opposite of a cold front?
- A warm back
Why did the weather want privacy?
- It was changing
What did the fog say to the light rain after her vacation?
- I mist you.
How do you cope with yet another day of streaming rain?
- By surfing the internet for some dry humour.
(Hey! I made up that last one. I think.)
It’s J-time at ABC Wednesday …
