April Fools' Day: Residents share their jokes and hoaxes with Azzo Rezori

Are you ready for some foolishness? Wednesday is April Fools' Day, and we asked some residents how they feel about the jokes and hoaxes that go on each year on this day.

Azzo Rezori of CBC's Here & Now took to the streets of St. John's to find out.

Have you ever been an April Fool? What is the most memorable prank you have played on a loved one or friend?

Mind you, this day is not for everyone. If you have a serious streak, April Fools' Day may only solicit an uncomplimentary eye roll.

By the way, April Fools' Day has been popular in some countries since the 19th century, but April 1 has been associated with foolishness for much longer than that.
