Just for the record, I loathe "April Fool’s Day" pranks. Not that I’ve had any played on me today, which I haven’t. Nor have I engaged in any.
It’s just that I find the usual run of pranks to be cruel, demeaning, and quite often an intentional infliction of anxiety, embarrassment, and/or emotional pain.
Or to put it another way, I feel that ‘humor’ at somebody else’s expense is never funny.
p.s. Yes, having really bad migraine (as I’ve had today) often makes me especially humorless. Also for the record, I found the Discover magazine "ice-boring mole" hoax of 1995 (I think that was the year) a hoot, especially the bit about how it attacked penguins from below.
