You have to be careful with those April Fools' editions. When I was in school, the Auburn paper put out one with the head of the elderly president on a streaker's body. It looked real and a lot of grief came out of that one.
When I was at Arkansas, an edition said that the cherished old building on campus, Old Main, was slated for destruction. The way it was written and the fact that there were no other April Fools' stories in that paper made it very believable and the university was inundated with angry letters, calls, and visits.
A joke is a joke but I don't think it's funny when someone is humiliated or when a lot of people are inconvenienced or screamed at because someone took a joke too far.
