Fair Warning

Every April Fool's Day, I play a joke on the listeners. One year, I did a fake news report that LeBron James had bought the Cleveland Orchestra. Several very upset women called later asking if it was true. In each case, I replied "April Fool," which amused all but one elderly woman.

Her nasal voice strained with intensity. "Is it true that LeBron James bought the Cleveland Orchestra?"

"April Fool," I said.

"Is it true that LeBron James bought the Cleveland Orchestra?"

"April Fool."

Her voice was getting more hysterical. "Is it true that LeBron James bought the Cleveland Orchestra?"

"April Fool."

"Well, did he?"

"No."

She hung up.
