I will admit that I am not a huge fan of tricks. I think it is fairly common that one doesn’t want to look foolish. I do admire a good April Fool’s gag though. One of the places that seems to have fun with the day is the Think Geek web site. (They actually don’t sell a Vertical Landing Rocket or a Useless Light Switch) Every year they have a few products that are just April Fool’s jokes. If you are wondering what those could be, you can check them out.

And if you are finding the upcoming presidential election to be upsetting, there isn’t really election insurance.
It seems that companies enjoy trying to outdo each other with pranks. This is the best part of April Fool’s Day to me!
Enjoy your April Fool’s Day! Your friendly local podiatrist wishes you well. (and that’s no joke!)
