Texans are in No Mood for Your April Fool’s Day Joke This Year

You might want to hold on to your prank ideas for another year, lest ye take an ass whooping.

Okay, maybe I’m overexaggerating a bit with the whole “ass whooping” thing, but still, no one in Texas seems to be interested in April Fool’s Day this year. It makes total sense, seeing as this has been the suckiest twelve months I can remember.
