Thought of the Day

We suspect that a number of our news stories today may not have fooled you, our regular readers, but a few apt thoughts for this particular day of the year may amuse:

"I sometimes wonder if the manufacturers of fool-proof items keep a fool or two on their payroll to test things."

Alan Coren, English humorist 1938 – 2007

"Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes each day. Wisdom consists of not exceeding that limit."

Elbert Hubbard, American writer 1859 – 1915

"A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married."

H. L. Mencken, American journalist 1880 – 1956
