April Fools

In 1996, Taco Bell took out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times announcing that they had purchased the Liberty Bell to "reduce the country's debt" and renamed it the "Taco Liberty Bell." When asked about the sale, White House press secretary Mike McCurry replied tongue-in-cheek that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold and would henceforth be known as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial.



I'll let you know how our fools go.

Ok for an update, Ford and Ella loved Fools Day. I suggested we sew dad's undies together, and Ford, was really worried I was going to get into big trouble. As I was sewing, he says, "Dad is going to be so mad at you, I don't think you should do that." But he saw no harm in mismatching all of Dad's socks. And of course as soon as Daddy got home for work, Ella said, "We haven't been doing anything."
