TOP TEN SIGNS YOUR APRIL FOOL'S JOKE WASN'T APPRECIATED

10)  It wasn't that people said your joke was really lame, it's just that... No, that's actually it.  That's exactly what they said.

  9)  HR is beside itself.  The word "exile" is being bandied about.

  8)  So far, you've been contacted by three separate lawyers with cease-and-desist orders.  And yeah, the day's still young.

  7)  People you consider friends are picketing outside your home.

  6)  Both your company's lunchroom and fitness center started denying you access, blaming it on some pesky little glitch in the software.

  5)  Your car was keyed multiple times.  But not to worry, the eggs, paint and manure pretty much covered it up.

  4)  People aren't just crossing the road when they see you coming.  They're making their way over another couple of streets just to be on the safe side.

  3)  Management has told you not to show up next April Fools Day.  That and the other 364 days in between.  And, you know, like all the days after.

  2)  Your family changed the locks on the doors.  That and their surname.

And the top ten sign your April Fool's joke wasn't appreciated:

  1)  The sheriff's at your door demanding to know your ankle size.
