With April Fools day upon us, it brings to mind an April Fools joke that went bad. Years ago I had kidnapped a co-workers stuffed animal. I then took pictures of it in various positions, ie. Next to a knife, next to a gun, in a frying pan, etc. Each day I would put a different ransom note on her desk with one of the pictures. We all had a good laugh. We now have a co-worker who has a little duck on her desk that she cherished as an old friend gave it to her. I decided to do the whole kidnapping thing again. I took the duck after she left for the day, brought it home, put it on my kitchen table and was going to get my camera and all the props. I was distracted by a phone call, getting dinner ready, etc, etc. Later that evening, I got ready to do the pictures and ransom notes and THE DUCK WAS GONE!!!!!. I searched everywhere and getting more panicky by the minute. I finally found the duck. My dog had gotten it off the table and chewed the head. Now I am feeling awful because I know how much this little duck meant to her. All I could do was fess up, so I wrapped the ducks head in a bandage, put a little drop of red fingernail polish on it and tell her what happened the next day. Lucky for me she saw the humor in it , and she now cherishes the duck even more.
