A Really Bad April Fools Joke…

Posted on April 1st, 2006 by Christine.
Categories: Hilarious.

What I thought would be a funny, ha-ha, fun little joke turned seirously bad last night and now Christopher is so pissed off, I don’t think he’ll ever talk to me again. He was pissed off at me earlier in the week for something I meant to do, but this was something that I had no control over.

Ugh. Here’s what happened:



Last night, Christopher took me out to a really nice dinner, ordered a bottle of wine, and everything. He had two glasses of wine and then because he was driving, stopped drinking and I had the rest. Well… I got a little bit giddy I guess you could say, so that was the first problem, but it wasn’t something I intended to happen at all.



We went back to Christopher’s place and watched this show he tivo’d called “Penn & Teller’s Bullshit.” It’s a really funny show where Penn & Teller dispell common myths and take a critical look at social mores. So we got into this conversation about how most people believe whatever they want and you can make anyone believe anything if you are passionate enough about it. And Christopher disagreed and said that no, people may act like they agree with you, but they really don’t if you don’t give them facts. We continued to discuss it for maybe fifteen minutes and I couldn’t get him to agree that people will believe you if you’re passionate but have no facts to support your claim at all.



SIGH. Okay… this is where it starts to get bad. Christopher opens a second bottle of wine. And I am still already a little drunk from the first. He gets up to go take a shower and leaves me sitting on the bed staring at his big-screen t.v. and watching this Penn & Teller show. So, I pick up the remote and flip around and see on the weather station that it is officially past midnight and officially April Fool’s Day. My mind starts racing to think of some sort of April Fool’s joke I could play on Christopher before he comes back out of the bathroom. But mind you… I am not thinking very clearly right now.


So I decide that I can couple the April Fools Day joke with proving my point about not having facts. So in a momentary lapse of reason, I pick up his phone and call directory assistance and ask them to connect me to the non-emergency police number of the police in Redondo Beach. When they transfer me, someone at the police station answers and I tell them that my boyfriend and I are arguing and it’s getting really out of control and that he threatened me, and could they please send someone by… and I say it very passionately.



Now… my thinking was that they would come to the door, it would freak Christopher out, but the cops would see that nothing was wrong and they’d leave and then ha-ha I would laugh at Christopher’s face and he’d be like “Damn, you got me.” That is not what happened.



Christopher no more than gets out of the shower when there’s a knock on the door. Christopher’s like, “Who the fuck is knocking on my door at 12:30.” He goes to the door– in his towel– and there are two police officers there. They tell him they got a call saying someone heard a fight and they want to come in. Christopher is like “Hell no. It must be some other apartment.” I go to the door and say, “Everything is alright.” But the cops insist on coming in…



Anyway, to make a long story short… they come in… Christopher is aggravated that they won’t believe him that nothing’s wrong, and they tell him to go put on pants and a shirt. He does, and when he comes back out, they ARREST HIM. Cuffs and Miranda rights and everything. At that point, I’m like “Oh my God…” I tried to tell them that it was really okay… it was just a mistake, but he’d been so beligerant to them, it almost seemed like they were just arresting him because they were pissed off.

And they take Christopher out the door, leaving me in his apartment. I had no idea where they were taking him or how to get him out but I knew I had to do something. I was still pretty drunk– and should not have driven– so I called a taxi and said take me to the Redondo Police Station. When I got there, I talked to some cool chick cop and explained it to her and she said she’d figure out what was going on. About an hour later, Christopher comes out. He has the most pissed off look on his face I’ve ever seen. They released him without charging him so that was good, but he walked right past me and started walking home at about 2 in the morning.



I tried to walk with him and told him I was sorry, but he wouldn’t listen to me, wouldn’t talk to me, and basically told me that he doesn’t ever want to even see me again. So I let him walk by himself and I took a cab home. When I woke up this morning, the stuff I’d left over at Christopher’s was piled up at my front door, so I’m sure he was serious.



Anyway, I don’t know what to do now. I don’t know how to get him to stop being pissed at me. Maybe he will see the humor in all this in time… maybe by next April Fools Day he’ll have forgotten it, or will at least have had the opportunity to get me back, so we’ll be even.



OR… maybe… he won’t. Because none of it happened. Happy April Fool’s Day, ya all!

I honestly don’t know what to say! Christine…the joke would have worked if you have friends ont he po po force that you could call on a persoanl cell number and have them swing by and fuck with chris but leave it at that! The shit you did was way out of line…I’m not saying this b/c chris is my cousin, I’m saying this b/c ppl especially police don’t take that shit lightly! You’re extremely lucky chris got out with no charges, b/c that shit can ruin a persons record faster that you can say abuse! I know you were tipsy, but what the hell would posess you do fathom playing a joke to that extreme! He has every right to be pissed off! I would be fucking furious especially after they refused to leave, then arrest my ass! Give me a break! there’s jokes, and there’s jokes, but you defintely crossed the line…Chris is a better man than me, b/c the police would have a reason to re-arrest me for verbal assault or some shit after I berated you instead of giving you th esilent treatment… Consider yourself lucky! Sry to tell you, but the belonings on the front door is not a joke! That usually speaks volumes from where I come from!

hey, chris called me last night and told me that the popo are repossesing his glocks and permits until christine provides a formal statement!

Get the fuck out! Fucking popo can’t do that shit! And they shouldn’t have been allowed in the house wihtout chris’s permission unless they had a warrant at the time! Chris if they didn’t have aa warrant you can fight the popo and press charges against them for illeagal search and seisure of your gun! As well Christine you better be using your writing talents to write a real nice formal statement explaining your drunken stupidity! [-(

Ok.. you peeps need to pay attention to details.. the last line of the post.. )

ya know the more I think about how brainless some cops are they very well may agree to this post as a perfect formal statement…it’s worth a shot! )

Trouble the Pirate spake, and sayeth

Evil woman… I must admit that I did not see the last line [or did you just amend the post after you had me on the hook] … I suspected that you were pulling a fast one ’cause you filed the post in ‘hilarious’, but couldn’t be too sure. It hit close to home because one of my ex’s actually did that […not as an April fools joke] but I was lucky that the cops didn’t believe her drunken ass, they almost arrested her but I convinced them not to, so they just warned her that 911 is not a toy… They still log that shit though… It came as no surprise however, that the onus was on me to prove my innocence; their first inclination was to believe everything she said on account of the fake tears? So Christine does make a good point re- how easy it is to convince ?certain people? using only emotion? They told me I had to leave my own house until morning anyway? So I did, but the next day I formally ended the relationship [she couldn?t remember what happened, I had to explain why I was dumping her], the Zoloft and binge drinking are good warning sign?s to most people, but usually just par-for-the-course with my ex?s?

Christine the Lioness pontificated

Hey, aJ… I know you got it too. -)

I’m actually a little surprised that anyone thinks I would really do this. First of all, maybe Trouble has a good point because it actually happened to him… but anyone who would do something remotely similar has serious mental issues. I saw my ex-fiance get arrested (not because of anything I did to cause it) and it was pretty traumatic. No woman wants to see her man being cuffed and taken away where she doesn’t even know where he’s going or what will happen to him. When women really do love a guy, they feel very protective. I was actually really scared and freaked out. Lucky for me, my ex’s dad was there and he kind of took the reins in figuring stuff out. So I’m sorry, Trouble, you had to go through something like that.

Despite what Christopher might have you believe, I’d never do anything– even as a joke– to hurt him like that. And I’d never fuck around with calling the cops because I know they don’t take that stuff lightly and you’re actually pulling them away from doing something that might actually help someone who really is in trouble. Christopher and I thought it would be a funny April fools’ joke– and that last line was there the whole time– and I tried to give hints in the post itself that it was April Fools day and you can’t believe what people tell you even if they say it passionately sometimes.

Anyway, I’m glad some of you thought it was funny.

Haas the Addict pontificated

Hey nice one Christine ) good narration you sounded very convincing P

April 4th, 2006

Keith the Director remarked

the only reason she sounded convincing,is b/c she is capable of doing it…thats why it sounded so real up to the unrealistic part of the cops not taking chris’s no for an answer! We all should know cops can’t enter a place of residency without the owners permission unless extreme circumstances are warrented. With Chris answering the door in a towel be menacing enough for them to barge in his crib without a warrent? :-w I think not, and especially after the supposed victim has said everythig was cool! [-(

Hehe.. Actually I never read the last line as well.. Call it instinct or call it knowing you a bit Christine ) , but I just realised that it was all a joke. Plus you did slightly overdid the narrative P

April 5th, 2006

Christine the Lioness got all philosophical

So… you’re telling me, Keith, that it sounded convincing because I’m capable of doing it… and yet apparently the “unrealistic” part about the cops entering wasn’t “unrealistic” enough for *you* to get it was a joke (re #3 & 5). -) But keep trying to convince us, Keith…

April 5th, 2006

Christine the Lioness thought this

Well, aJ… thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt and knowing me well enough to know I wouldn’t do that… and it may have been instinct as well. I know for me, on April Fool’s Day, I’m skeptical of everything I read and hear. When people are like, “No… it’s completley true,” I usually say, “Okay… get back to me and tell me again tomorrow.” LOL!

You think I overdid the narrative??? o Well… apparently even *that* didn’t tip some people off -)

Keith the Director scribbled

Ya know at first yes i did belive you b/c I know what bitches are capable of and how vindictivethey can be…so far I know you only from here, and Yes, I am sad to say I belived you to be capable of such a heinous act. but in paragraph 7 where you stated and I quote, Chris said “Hell No” to the police I thought this shit is getting off the wall…as I read on I thought it to be more bullshit! However i did elicit response #3 as such to get a good debate going, as it seemed believable enough! #5 I was just rolling with the post! ) sry to diappoint…

Right Keith.. You can’t escape so easily! We already know you fell for it P

I’m not escaping anything or trying…I did fall for the first half as I have stated.The second half is what I had hard time buying…I know Chris is an asshole like me it runs in the family, butI know we both have enough common sense to not swear at cops…well not since college anyway )

We’re just giving you a hard time, Keith… -)

Hehe… and you’re right about Christopher not swearing at cops. He can be obnoxious, but the boy’s not stupid. -)

That was the funniest thing I ever read. I can’t believe I read something from 2006 that was that funny. I don’t even know who you are, I just Googled ‘Bad April Fools Prank Blog’ and found this.
