Did my April Fool's joke go too far?
|
I do so look forward to this time of year. This April Fool's day, I made special efforts.
I went over to London the previous evening to meet some chums at the Raffles Club, as I do at least twice a week, and informed my wife I'd return the following morning. Meanwhile, I had the local constable visit the manor in the small hours to inform my wife that I was dead - having had a dead pig fall on me from a height.
When I returned to the mansion, I found my wife in tears, consulting with an undertaker and several members of the family. For the rest of the day, no one spoke to me and my wife has gone to stay at her sister. Did I go too far?

You should have at least affected a limp and muddied yourself up. Your 'miraculous recovery' would have put them to pampering you to no end. Then you could have acted sullen and crafted elaborate plans to detect and inflict revenge upon the 'offending pig'. By offering some trite reward for the murderous swine, you could enjoy every buck-toothed farmer attempting to profit by turning in evil looking pigs. You chums might enjoy the distraction too. Hold court in the Raffles club to determine which pig attempted the deed, hold a trial, and dispatch the beast. If things get rowdy enough, you might even slip out without paying that farmer. |

She was probably more upset about the dead pig, I know I would be... |

Yes, I am sure you just wanted to give her a good laugh and I am sure you both will be laughing some time down the line, but for a woman who really loves her husband it was probably devestating to her, although the dead pig should have made her think there was something to the story.
Yellow roses and sincere apology may help.
I thought it was funny but I am not the almost widow. |

Yes! That is not funny! What if you were told your wife had died on April 1? Would you think it was a joke? I wouldn't! Try to go for the harmless woopy cussion next time, kay?
P.S. You're British! |

April Fools Day will have A LOT to answer for.
Your gesture.... it was NOT what I could call a fun thing as it has resulted in real stress and alarm.
What could be done to make up the damage caused?
If you get that right; you might have the chance to undo the damage and have a second chance with your wife and relations. |

Certainly Not!...though it just goes to show that a womans intellect is no match for that of a man's, as any Fellow in London worth his salt would have known there is no way possible for a dead pig to have fallen on you from great height as I only fling Cows and Orphans from my Trebuchet! Let the woman have her cry, she is likely due for one...silly creatures, women..If they do not get a good thrashing now and then or have occasion weep and carry on once in a while, they end up suffering from a blockage of the Kundalini Chakra, which in essance, is nothing more than a case of Spiritual Constipation! Best for her to release the Effluvia apon her sister and they can get all dotty and blast thier noses clear of you. There is no cause for you to worry, my friend. Better still, wait until she decides to come home and continue the joke with a mock Sword Duel...Fetch up a pair of those swords the Magician used at your May Day affair last year and pretend to take a sound stab though the heart when she attempts to put a stop to your Fight...THAT ought to have her in a rightful fit!! |

No, not far enough, you should have gone to Sydney not London.
Then your wife could have consorted with the undertaker not consulted. |

I reckon that you aren't even married, anyway, if you are:
There are some misguided people on this forum who will tell you that what you did was funny. It wasn't. I didn't even laugh when you said the first part. It is not original. You have put your wife, who obviously (although no I wonder why) loves you through hell. How would you feel if she had done this to you?.
This is not a joke - you need help. I will be amazed if you haven't destroyed your marriage. If by some miracle she does come back to you, I would really make an effort to show her how sorry you are and never pull another joke on her again as if she does come back after this, the next time she won't. |
