I remember years ago a bad, yet funny joke being played on my ex brother-in-law.
He was in the RAF stationed out in Germany, but lived of base a few miles away with other RAF personnel in married quarters, in a block of flats.
If ever an alert was sounded, they were woken up by an alarm that would waken a bear in deep hibernation. They had to be up and dressed in full battle gear, picked up and on base in a certain amount of time. He always said he would never miss one ever.
One year his parents were staying with him and his wife, which ran over April fools day. between them and his wife they hatched a plan to wake him up in the early hours, as if he had not heard the alarm.
Well they did at around 2.30 in the morning, he was up dressed in full gear, ran down the flat steps and out the door in record time. To find him being the only one there, thinking he had been left behind.
He turned round to see them stood there at the door rolling about laughing.
A bad joke in some ways yes, but he did see the funny side of it.
