I’ve never been the kind of person to play April Fool’s jokes. Consequently, I never remember that it’s April Fool’s Day, and I’m constantly being fooled. Last year, Phil fooled me with his post about taking his children on a trip to Iraq.
This year? I was Google’s fool.
Because the Gmail Paper Program? Ain’t real.
Not that I wanted it to be, or anything. With my paper problems, the last thing I need is to be shipping my email to myself.

Didn’t I at least make you wonder? ?)

Oh, good point, I did wonder about that too–until I read the comments.

OMG!!! I was taken, too! I read that out loud to my family and I just thought it was the weirdest thing I had ever read but still, I didn’t get it. Wow, I have to admit that was really funny!

Crap, I read that Gmail thing out the wife, then told her it seemed a silly idea as you could just print out the email if you needed hard copies. I forgot it was April Fool’s!

I didn’t see that one — but I sympathize. I get fooled every single time, myself!

Ohmigod, I totally got taken in by that one too.
Jason found me out later.
In my defense, I didn’t read the whole article. Apparently there were dead giveaways in there. I am sheepish.

Geez, they got me, too! I wondered “gee, is it free? they must charge” but didn’t click through or anything. Now I feel silly. But in good company, clearly!
