we didn't do it for April Fool's...but we got my husband this past Christmas season. Here is how it went down: The town we moved from, where he was the assistant police chief...he had a stalker...not a stalker you want either. She was an old korean lady...he had arrested her and her daughter and son-in-law one night all at the same time....hauled them all to jail. Nasty old short woman. Anyway...guess she fell in love with Kevin...she started sending 'gifts' in the mail to him at City Hall. The first gift came and when he walked into work one day, the chief said, hey, you got a present from your girlfriend....he was like what? looks over, and there is a box from the mailman addressed to him from this crazy woman. He was reluctant to open, but did anyway. There were 2 polo shirts from JC Penney...with tags still on (probably stolen)(edited to add, they were pink and salmon color, NOT Kevin's colors :lol: ). He put them into the evidence locker. A few weeks later, some blue hand-knit mittens came....also went into evidence locker...then she would come on 'court days' and try to get in to 'see him'...she was not allowed inside the building. She always complained saying 'she means no harm'... So we move here....Kevin thinks he is long gone from her without her knowing where he lives now. A friend finds out the story and then the planning starts. Coincidentally, stalkers were topic of conversation one day inside the department....Kevin says that he had one once...nobody believed him...he told the details (much more than I have written here)...they still didn't believe. About a week after this conversation with the sheriff and other officers here....a package wrapped in brown paper is at the office. Addressed to him...with the lady's name and address as return...KEVIN FREAKED OUT...he was like OH NO...SHE FOUND ME! HE immediately grabs the package and runs down the hall and says LOOK! I told you she was real...she sent something to me here! She has freakin' found me!!! :shock: The dispatchers told him that a little old Korean lady had dropped it off just a little while ago. (Kevin is blonde, didn't put 2 and 2 together with UPS stickers and hand delivery...lol) He opens the package (the whole office knows at this point, because we let them in on it all)...Kevin is freaking out....there is a note in the top...hand written by a guy (she had terrible writing)...said that it took her awhile to find him...but that she finally did, and found a house not too far from his...and since she heard that he did woodworking on the side, she sent him more 'useful' gifts this time, leather gloves and wood chisels. Kevin was in shock. After about 20 minutes of letting him think his stalker had returned...they finally let him in on it. It was great. He was totally fooled.
George called me at work and I said, "I'm late!" He couldnt undersand what I was saying, so I had to explain it to him, He about SH*T HIS PANTS!!!! Then came the April Fools. Next year, he called and I said " We got our notice today!" He said what do you mean? I said I will be unemployed in 2 week(this was while he wasnt working at all) and he (quote the above) then came the APRIL FOOLS!!! He just didnt think these where as funny as I did!! Debbie
