I managed to coast through the day relatively unscathed, only having succumbed to to one.

You?

Does clicking on the shaved bigfoot thread count? It never really occured to me that it was a joke...  grin

Yes. Oh c'mon, I took one look at the title and knew immediately even before I opened it that it was a joke.  police

Google almost had me going until I read the "How It Works" link. Having not even had my first cup of coffee, it finally dawned on me it was an april fool's joke.

There were no jokes pulled on me today.  Heck I didn't notice it was April until about 5PM.  Dates are little more to me than deadlines to pay bills!

Got a call from a "user" yesterday.

Really whiny old woman. Said her thin client was smoking and shooting sparks. I asked her to unplug it and she said she couldn't because she had thrown water on it and there were arcs (the call became suspect at this point) coming out of the term and wall socket and grounding in the desk.

It was the IT practical joker.
