|Michael McConnell|My favorite joke was the one played on an old workmate called James. He was always late into the office. He was told to be early the next morning (on April 1st, of course) because his team was going to hold an important meeting. Of course, when he got into the meeting room, his team head said he was an April fool. But at least it got him into work on time for a change!|
