Last year, a hospital in Jackson, MS released their monthly newsletter. The front page story was about the world's first successful gizzard transplant. It was written with great attention to detail and told how the doctors at the hospital had transplanted a turkey gizzard into a man( gave his name, age and hometown). The man had been suffering from a sluggish gizzard for years from having taken in too much gravel from the rural roads he had traveled all his life.

Since I was at the hospital because my son was being treated there, my mind was not on April Fools. I read the report and though "I must be missing something!". I re-read it and then asked my son's girlfriend if she had read it. She said she had and then she pointed to the date at the top of the page.It read "April Fool's Day 2002"!

I felt like a real doofus.

Of course, I took the paper with me and fooled several people with it. One actually searched the internet to find where a human's gizzard was located!
