A successful April Fool's Joke is one that people think is true, but isn't. It is therefore hard to tell whether my last April Fool's joke was a success. Is it a success when people click on the links for more information? How about when they don't click on any links? Do they get the joke, or are they just not interested in the story in general?
I got 256 clicks on our April Fool's Page about the Police Mini-Dachshund Drone this year.
The story I posted in the Boothbay Register got over 3,000 hits

The one about giving Marz away was by far and away the best April Fools Joke we've ever done. I had people calling me for months afterward asking if he was still available. Some people who were fooled got pretty angry.
And the Pancho Villa joke was by far the worst. People knew it was a joke or the joke was so bad, they just didn't care.
Were you fooled or not? Let me know: fatmax@twosaltydogs.net. Perhaps I'll send a prize to the person who doesn't make the bile rise to the back of my throat.
