Fool

Fools day was past and he was happy that no body managed fooling him. Keeping yourself locked in a closet helps. And as midnight stuck he came out of hiding, satisifed with his achievement. Checked his missed calls (none), angry messages (only one - from boss), etc. Logged on the internet, checked his mail and read a few blogs. And thats when he came across the Lazy Geek at rkram.blogspot.com. Ram, an old friend of his had written a blog review praising LG this and that. Curiosity is what killed the cat, you see, he wanted to see it for himself and came acorss this blogpost at LG. Google Romance it declared was being introduced. Readers may well know by now that this person was a big-time sucker (I mean who in the right mind would hide himself in a closet to stop others from making a fool of him) and immediately wanted to find his soulmate. He, needless to say went to the Google Romance website and tried uploading his profile (in which he was smart, handsome and sensitive). And this is what he found - 'Profile Upload Rejected'. He felt incredibly stupid and his only consolation was that he wasn't fooled on the 1st of April (like being fooled on other days doesn't matter). Too bugged to go to sleep he switched on the tele to watch the late-night news. The pretty newsreader announced, "Daylight savings came into effect today. Viewers are reminded to set their clocks an hour back. The ACT Emergency services recommends that batteries are changed in all smoke alarms today. The time now is 5 minutes to midnight..." He didn't hear the rest.
