“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. “Oh, no,” I said. “Disneyland burned down.” He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.” — Jack Handey

In the name of April Fool’s Day, such harmless tricks are all fine, but the really horrible ones hoisted on unsuspecting victims by pranksters which cause pain and anguish ought to be condemned!

Handey’s a satirist but you’re correct in that pranks should be harmless.

I think that with his one-liners Handey is one of the funniest, most creative and thought provoking comic ever.

Thanks. Hopefully the kid eventually caught on to uncle Jack, lol. The photo was just something fun I played around with to emphasize the coloration.
