April Fools Posts I Rejected

I seriously considered a hugely deceptive post for this date. In the end, however, I chickened out. Maybe another year.

Here are some of the ideas I entertained, however:

• Coming out of the closet as bisexual.
• Switching my allegiance from the Cubs to a "team to be named later."
• Retiring from parish ministry to work full-time for the Millenium Development Goals.
• Announcing my embrace of Islam.
  

Pulling something like this off is a refined art, and I'm smart enough to realize I haven't got the appropriate skills. This one, however, was done by someone who knows the craft.
