ah its April....

the birds are chirping.
the coat is getting off...for a while
and dentists are rubbing there hands in delight when a child who eat too much chocolate doesn't have a medical card

of course its was unless you don't have a cruel bone in your body,the first of april yesterday

and i have a story to tell you have what could be the most infamous April fools joke ever

I'm refering to the Iceberg in Sydney incident

i'll explain.

in the 1920s an australian millionaire in the mould of howard hughes,(read eccentric) claimed that he was making money on a mining operation but what and where was he mining?
gold in columba?
diamonds in south africa
no .

ice from antartica.
yes you read it right ICE!
he then said that he was going to barge a giant iceberg to syndey to his factory to be rendered into icecubes and selling them for $20 dollars each
the public argued that was too dear for an fecking icecube
but the millionairre said that a icecube pure and centuries old, would be the compliment to any drink.
the day arrived and so did the iceberg 40 ft high and wide the crowd was buying it they should have payed attention to the date:
april the first
and the weather report
Heavy rain as soon as the rain hit the "iceberg" it was revealed on the crowd.
all over the crowd.
because the ice berg was made of shaving cream and a 40 ft stack of blankets
the crowd then realised that they were covered in an elaborate hoax as the barge owned by the millionaire was christened....
APRIL FOOLS!!!
