I saw a watch from Polar on their FB page. I don't know if it is a legit old school one they had but it looked way dated.

My gym posted the WOD and it was a hellish one. It ended up being a joke thankfully although I would have pushed through anyway. It was "Triple" Fran for the CrossFitters.

amazon had it's retro screen today - from 1999. That was pretty amusing.

It's our wedding anniversary today, so a fun day for us! We had plenty of threats to our wedding party about no fooling at the wedding.....or they would get stuck with the bar tab

I don't enjoy jokes at all. Maybe because I'm a person who believes nothing, so I just get grumpy when people try to fool me.

However, I cannot stop laughing at the prank that my friend pulled off. She has 2 teenage daughters. She frosted a shoebox and told them she made them a cake.

ETA: She sent me a pic.

I also keep having fits of giggles over the National Zoo's IG post.

"Smithsonian zoo announces launch of new action packed sloth cam. #DropItLikeASloth"

Accompanied by a video, of a sloth doing....absolutely nothing.

I didn't fall for it, because further down it was clearly identified as a joke, but...

I received a fake resignation email from a direct report today.

Today was the employee's first day back from vacation. The first 14 words looked like a resignation letter. Then it was closely followed by an APRIL FOOLS.

I would be SO bummed about the cake. But you bet your ass I would still lick all that frosting.
