Generally speaking, I perpetrate April Fool’s Day jokes around the house. However, I have not been feeling well (a cold) for the last week, so I had nothing in mind and did not care to try.
So, it was left up to my wife to become the day’s prankster.
She is a believer in Vitamin C when one has a cold. Swallowing the horse pills she offers is not enjoyable, so we compromise: I will drink a large glass of orange juice instead.
Barely out of bed, she called me to the kitchen for my morning juice. I generally guzzle it down before I proceed to where my actual morning-time interest lies, the coffee pot.
Taking the offered glass, I started drinking as quickly as I could. In an instant, I knew something was wrong.
A long blob of something slipped over my tongue and halfway down my throat before I could stop myself. Whatever it was, it caused me to gag and nearly throw up, but somehow I managed to swallow and keep it down.
My watering eye must have told the whole story as my wife began laughing at my sudden conundrum. Still braying like a jack-ass on steroids and trying not to vomit, I choked out, “What…in…the…yak…was that…yak?”
She showed me the empty eggshell.
