| I've got a great April Fool's joke for Improv; he can't read this - he's at the cottage | |

So I'm staying home until Sunday because tomorrow is a big antiques show with the focus on vintage garden stuff. Improv knows this because I've been talking about it for two weeks already. Tomorrow when I get back I'm going to phone him all breathless with excitement and tell him that I found this rare Edwardian sundial that is just perfect for our yard and it only cost $1500!! Improv is pretty cheap. (he defends this by changing the definition to "thrifty.") This prank should provoke a great reaction. I can't wait to do it.

Now to add to that, you need to go out and buy a twenty dollar sundial to show him as you pull this off... |

better make sure he doesn't run out and buy a bunch of expensive liquor or fishing stuff to keep everything balanced before you can tell him the truth! |

tcmod: can't you read, dude? HE'S CHEAP. He'd never turn down a gift of Maker's Mark, but he would never actually buy it himself. However, when it comes to fishing and boating stuff, all bets are off....

Agreed-- $1500 is too low -- add a 0. |

No.. that wasn't it.. shoes? Nah... OH YES.I REMEMBER NOW!!! They were DIAMOND EARRINGS!!!! (Mik.. plucking the guilt strings with a melancholy righteousness, and a solidarity with husbands around the world...

Ok Mik - You know that women have a great memory and I seem to recall a certain gentleman definitively saying that this was definitely a special anniversary and not the norm. Plays just wanted to back you up and get you off the hook BTW - If he sees this thread he may beat you to the punch Cathy |

Improv may have a great April Fools joke for you:

UPDATE: I couldn't reach Improv on the phone yesterday, so today when I went to the cottage I told him in person. It was even better, because when I got there one of his friends was visiting, so I have a witness. I told him all about the "sundial" and when he asked where it was, I said it was at home because I wasn't sure where I wanted to put it. Then I said, and I got a good deal on it too. The dealer was asking $1700, but I talked him down to $1500. I didn't have to wait two seconds for his reaction, which was something like this: ![]() I let him rant for about 90 seconds, then said "April Fool." I got him but good.
