Want to know the Top 100 April Fool’s Jokes? Check out this site where they’re all listed. My favorites are the San Serriffe islands and the Hotheaded Naked Ice Borer. 
And in honor of April and all its tomfoolery, how about a game? Over the next few days, I’ll post stories. Some will be true, and some will be false. The true stories will have occurred either to me personally or to a reliable source, and the events will be real, though the names will be changed and I’ll have to naturally improvise on the dialogue, though I will try to stay as true as possible.
So, is truth really stranger than fiction, or can you see through the gimmick?

“Yeah. It’s not like it’s a big deal. It stays in it’s cage.”
“Most of the time.” Dave flopped onto the couch.
I fought the urge to pull my feet up onto the chair. “Most of the time? Are you saying it can get out?”
