Mount Pleasant Magazine March/April 2018

48 www.ILoveMountPleasant.com | www.BestOfMP.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com feature We printed out a fake parking violation and put it on my sister-in-law’s car when were on vacation. She freaked out because the fine was $594. She called the police station, and everyone in on the joke was dying laughing behind her while she was arguing with the person on the other line for at least 10 minutes. Hysterical. - Krystal Vargha When my kids (age 6 and 7) woke up, I told them there was a treat in a baking dish for them. But they looked in and saw a cut out “E” from brown construction paper, instead of actual brownies! Kid humor! - Elizabeth Knabb Sparks When in college, a friend once put an ad in the paper for free goats and listed our number. He said only to call between the hours of 2 and 6 a.m. We kept getting calls from people telling us they were interested in our free goats and asking when could they stop by. Well played. - Mindy Rice Carmines The most terrible ones are the April fools scratch off tickets – people get so excited before they realize it’s not true. We won’t do that again because we felt too bad after. But you can’t go wrong with the rubber band around the sink sprayer handle – the most annoying of them all! - Christy Risher Bivens My wife tried to fool me by replacing the cream in an Oreo with white toothpaste and putting it back in the box. The package smelled so minty that it was obvious, and then the rest of the cookies tasted minty, too. The joke was on her! - Scott Toole I told my then-fiancé who was out of town that the dog we had recently adopted had had puppies. We had adopted a clearly male dog, but my fiancé completely believed me and was most unhappy that the shelter could have made such a gender mistake and we had given a female dog a male name. Eight years later, we are still married and still have our Bodie – and no puppies! – Patty Howison What are some of your most memorable April Fools’ jokes? 798 Johnnie Dodds Blvd. Mount Pleasant 843-881-2056 www.JeansBridalCharleston.com Thanks for voting us best bridal shop year after year!
