Hello, Democratic Underground. I'm Mister Scorpio's wife posting for my husband.

[Mr. Scorpio]

I've never written anything on this program before. My husband always said nice things about all of you. He let me know that you are all his friends.

Unfortunately, I have some bad news.

I'm very sorry to tell you all this, but he won't be able to to post his annual April fools joke this year. He asked me to tell you that and that he's taking a nap on the couch. One of his favorite things to do.

He said that he might give you something later when he wakes up. If he can stop being so lazy. I have to vacuum.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Have a nice day.

Bye.

1. Ha Ha Ha...

2. That's awful!

Please share these links with him and tell him there is a housefire when he wakes up

3. Oh, you!!!

I'm glad you're OK! And yes, you had me going there for a second!

[Callalily]

4. Hahahahahaha!

Be sure to vacuum next to his ear!

[sarge43]

25. In this situation what every loving wife would do.

GMTA.

[Walleye]

5. That's a good post.

[FailureToCommunicate]

6. Two thoughts: either wake him up and make HIM vacuum, OR, let him be. He NEEDS his

beauty sleep I'll bet.

[usaf-vet]

20. Two thoughts kick the lazy bum. Tell him to cut grass or shovel snow. And finally get his own lunch.

That is just repeating what my wife just said to me. While I'm in a fog mumbling, "what did I do now."

[Person of Interest]

24. Ha ha ha hee hee hee!!!!

[hunter]

7. I think I'll stay out of the Lounge today...

[Scrivener7]

8. You scared me!!!

[wryter2000]

39. Me, too

Usually when someone posts for one of our regulars it's because something awful has happened to said regular. At least,you put "April Fool's" in there to clue me in.

Bad Mr. Scorpio.

[Ptah]

9. Happy Halloween!

[bucolic_frolic]

10. This needs to be investigated

Why should we believe you? How do we know you are Mr. Scorpio's wife? How did you login, or get to use his computer? Is he all right? What have you done to him? This just seems a little to casual and off-hand to be true.

[blm]

16. You scared the crap out of me.

I thought this was going a different direction and my heart sank. 😭 I’m glad Mr. Scorpio is just lazy. Phew! 🤣

[Demovictory9]

60. Me too!

[Solly Mack]

17. I was momentarily alarmed.

Don't do that again. Please and Thank you.

[whathehell]

18. LOL

Thanks for the heads up, Mrs. Scorpio.

[Totally Tunsie]

19. Tots and pears?

Nahhhhh.

[redwitch]

21. That scared me!

Don’t ever do that again!

[jfz9580m]

22. Phew

I keep forgetting about the whole April fool's thing...glad Mr. Scorpio is ok.. . If there is indeed a Mrs.Scorpio she has my sympathies ;-/..

[haele]

23. That's pretty lazy. Tell him the Chief says if he's on the clock -

He should at least have his laptop with him and refresh the screen to make sure he doesn't miss any emails or "chat messages" while he's on the couch or in bed.
Hell, at this week's Monday morning department MS teams meeting, one of my guys was on his work smartphone while apparently taking a long hot shower. It was raining, so he thought could fake it when he had to talk.
Mr. Scorpio has to at least go through the motions. He's being a slacker.

Well done!

[Mad_Machine76]

[Hekate]

Happy April Fools’ Day!

[BumRushDaShow]

It took a lot of effort to get there!

[Kali]

44. ...

[lame54]

45. We knew he was a Scorpio before he posted

[Fawkes News]

46. SHOW ME THE APRIL FOOLS JOKES!

Seriously, there seems to be a shortage this year.

Are we so jaded by damn fools flaunting their derangement that there's no room for good old prankish humor?

And thank you Mrs. Scorpio for honoring this day!!

[GentryDixon]

47. My blood pressure spiked just seeing the title.

Shame. shame. I hate April Fool's Day. Not only for this type of post, but today is 19 years since my precious Dad passed away.

[Skittles]

[Habibi]

55. Oh. My. Gosh!

I was so sure you were going to tell us he was either in hospital or dead! Breathing deep sighs of relief here and wondering how to get back at him, dammit!

[UTUSN]

56. I know it's you!

[Aussie105]

57. BBC reports failed spaghetti harvest . . .

1957 - it has happened again this year!

Strands withering on the vines due to global warming.

Potato trees and peanut trees suffering too . . .

[Harker]

58. Maybe tomorrow?

[Warpy]

59. It's easier to vaccum when his feet are up

so start at the couch.

Don't ask me how I know this.

[pbmus]

61. Be careful about that sleep pressure

[CarmanJohn]

62. LOLOLOLOL!!!!
