April Fool!

From my previous post, I said it is high time April Fool's Day be "banned", and so today I came across this news in The Star "April Fool's Day joke leaves Johor businessman fuming", and I think it is true that people shouldn't go overboard by cracking this kind of jokes, which can bring disaster and potential fights and losses to all parties.

"...Yip was certain that deal could be sealed as the buyers had said they were willing to pay cash for the property, if all the documents pertaining to it were in place. They ordered the meals while waiting for Yip’s contact to turn up. An hour passed and Yip decided to call his friend. To Yip’s disbelief, his contact told him that he was just playing an April Fool trick and there was no such deal! When Yip told his business guests the truth, they became rough and one of the businessman’s friends shoved him until Yip fell to the floor. ..."
