The sense of april fool's day

So, yesterday was april fool's day. I've seen a number of jokes, some of which could have been very good...

...but they were all of them spoiled by people commenting on the joke.

For those of you who don't understand what april fool's day is all about: it's about fooling with people. That means, you try to write or do something which seems normal from a far distance, but is silly once you take a closer look, and try to make people believe it.

That isn't possible if you have a number of people, those who don't understand the essense of fooling with people, start giving comments on the joke.

``That's the best april fool's day joke I saw this year!''

It was, you idiot, until you gave it away...

Oh well. At least they didn't spoil mine (since, hey, I didn't do any)
