April Fool

I ain't usually one to pull an April Fool trick on a friend, but I got caught up in one of those "harmless" little pranks this morning. For several weeks Wendell Wattsboro has been bragging about his rabbits and how he plans to have a rabbit ranch on his four acres of land. He bought a boy rabbit and a girl rabbit and put them together to do what comes naturally. And he has had minimal success.  A few weeks ago people started collecting rabbits of all shapes and sizes. Early this morning while Wendell was down at the cafe having his breakfast we kept distracting him by getting him to tell more about his rabbit plans. We egged him on by trying to downplay all his grand plans. He was getting steamed and finally told us just wait and see, within in two months he would have hundreds of bunnies running everywhere. While we were holding him at the cafe a bunch of men were bringing over all the little rabbits they had been collecting and turning them loose in the big fenced in area Wendell had prepared for his warren. We did such a good job of prodding old Wendell that he invited us all of to his place to see what a big deal he was making. Several of us went in several cars. When we pulled up and Wendell saw his yard full of furry critters he stood google eyed and was speechless except for saying, "You gotta be kidding me." Then that little lightbulb that pops up over a person's head when he see the light popped up. I thing the main clue was the little bunnies that had been colored blue, pink, and green for Easter.
