When I was a kid, I recall April Fools jokes being limited to trying to get people to believe things that weren’t true. “Practical jokes” weren’t part of it. Be that as it may, there’s no such thing as a funny practical joke.
Back on April 1 I posted the following on my database product’s community forum:

I’m having a problem with a script step that USED to work just fine (so I know its syntax is OK), but lately I can’t get it to do anything at all, and I can’t figure out why. I’ve run the script repeatedly under Script Debugger, and it always just stops when it gets to this step.
I’ve copied the description out of the Help file, so maybe somebody else can spot something I’ve been missing:
Name: TimeTravel
Format: TimeTravel ( Number )
Usage: Enter a positive value for “Number” to move that many seconds forward in time; enter a negative value to move that many seconds backward. Do not enter a value above 1000. Repeated uses are cumulative.
Caution: Use with care. May lead to confusion, entropy, confusion, mutual atomic annihilation if you encounter your past self, acid reflux, and confusion. .noisufnoc esuac osla yaM

We kids used to tie the chair legs together under the dining room table – and therefore had cold food for dinner.

Actually, the fact Sedgewick did anything kind or thoughtful on his own should have been the give away.

I have often wondered what these characters have to do with Monty and company.

It’s his island – he declared all of April as “Fool’s Month.”

This might be a good time to introduce the little joker to Ship’s Discipline, Jarvis. I believe that is in your Job Description….
