RRR: Here come the April Fools

I certainly hope the April showers remain to be April Showers, and don't become something obscene like April Blizzards. And those May Flowers can't come soon enough for me. It's been a long winter. Dr. Phelps said in chapel that it was one of the worst winters on record for this part of Wisconsin. I believe it. It was pretty nasty. And I should know 'cause I was getting my butt out out bed at all sorts of disgusting hours of the morning (btw, there actually IS a 3:30 in the morning! did you know that?) in order to shovel that horrific fluffy white stuff called snow. Anyways, it's the April Showers arrived a day early and that's a good sign because it means several things:

1-It's not snowing.
2-It's too wet for the grounds crew to work.
3-It's too warm to snow.
4-It's not snowing.
5-I actually get homework done this afternoon.
6-The rain melts whatever is left of that nasty muddy snow that looks like elephant poo, AND
7-It's not snowing.

Also, I've compiled (actually made up off the top of my head) a list of things for myself to do for April Fools' Day, and maybe you can do a couple of them yourselves (all two of you that read my blog).

1-Do something unusual... like wear clothes that match.
2-Act like you're up to something and then when people ask what you're doing look guilty and say, "WHAT!!??!!"
3-Eat vegetables. Like, a whole serving. Like, FINISH the whole serving.
4-Tell your friends something totally true and then yell "APRIL FOOLS!!!"
5-Play an April Fools prank on yourself.
6-Attempt to write on both sides of a piece of paper at once.
7-Tell jokes. Music jokes. Lame music jokes.

If a piano is falling down a mine shaft, what key are you in? A flat miner.
What do you call a thousand saxophones at the bottom of a lake? A good start.
How do you get the key of B flat? Swat the stupid bug!
What's the diff between a violin and a viola? The viola burns longer.
What do you call two flutes playing in unison? A minor second.
Why does the bagpiper sway? To disturb the sniper's aim.
If someone can't play an instrument, give him a few sticks and call him a percussionist. If he can't handle that, take away a stick and call him a conductor.
What's noisier than a piano in a tree? A piano falling out of a tree.
So this punk band made up a new riff. They wrote, like, fifty songs.
LOL

I like your April fools suggestions...but I always wear clothes that match, I don't know how to look guilty, I love vegetables, I could never get away with number four, playing pranks on yourself is silly, and writing on both sides of a piece of paper simultaneously is impossible. Ypur music jokes are very funny.

What do you get when you drop a piano on a battlefield?
A Flat Major
Why did the man often break into song?
Because he couldn’t find the key.
Why couldn’t the music teacher get into his classroom?
His keys were in the piano.
What did the white key say to the black key?
Why, you look sharp today!

I couldn't resist...

People cry when you cut up an onion.
