A Conversation for April Fool's Day

The Bournemouth Baloon

The best April Fools Day prank I have heard was in my hometown of Bournemouth. In the town center there is a huge helium baloon on a rope which you can pay to take rides up in. On April 1st 1997 the local radio station (2CR) put on a news report saying that the baloon had been popped by vandals. They then pass over to an on-the-spot reporter, who gives the news report in a very high voice, thanks to a small helium canister. I couldnt stop laughing all day!
