April Fools
Post: 1
Posted Nov 8, 2001 by Graham
I would like to contribute to this conversation and I feel that I should as I am one of those unfortunate people who was born on April 1st.

I wish I could say my birthdate had a profound affect on my subsequent life but I cannot. Okay I did get the usual taunts at school about being an April Fool but basically I ignored them.

From the age of about 7 I have never heard an original comment on my birthday which either means my friends and family are a pretty unoriginal bunch or that there are only a few different taunts that could be made and they were all used up in the first seven years.

I am 41 now so I have been waiting for the past 41 years to hear a taunt I haven't heard before so I throw down a challenge to all and sundry. Taunt me, insult me, call me names I don't care but please could anyone break a 34 year roll and make me laugh with a taunt about being born on April 1st.

Ahh.

But were you born in the morning or the afternoon? Read my username and read the article, and you'll see that it matters.
