Funniest April 1st stories this year

[Dr. Anthony J. Toole]

I've got to admit, I found this particularly funny.

'I went to death row for 28 years through no fault of my own'

Anthony Ray Hinton endured almost three decades behind bars, wrongly convicted by Alabama’s racist judiciary system. Here, he tells his incredible story

Sun 1 Apr 2018 08.00 BST

Anthony Ray Hinton was going out of his mind on Alabama’s death row as he repeatedly churned over the iniquities of the shambolic trial that put him there.

“The state of Alabama had every intention of killing me for a crime I didn’t commit,” said Hinton. “They didn’t care whether I did it. They cared about the colour of my skin. As the prosecutor said: ‘Even if we didn’t get the right one, at least we got one off the street.’ And that was referring to a black person only he didn’t use the word black.”

I told my clean limbed young Nephew that he was adopted because his real mum was a young woman I had sex on once and he was the outcome and that he would have to come and live with me.

You should have seen the look on his face when I said April’s Fool!

Who said Christians don’t have a sense of humour?

He was laughing so hard it looked for all the world like he was crying his eyes out, clutching his head and sobbing for a full twenty minutes

LOL! This is indeed hysterical - but I bet crime was lower during that 28 years, Brother. I hope the boy had a good sense of humor about it and will one day be able to sit and laugh about it, as Jesus would have us do when mistakes are made. Thanks for sharing!

I would LOVE to have seen his face. I wish you had taken out your camera and made a video. In fact, why not take some video of your lithe, manly nephew anyway and share them with me. You know, moments when he's least expecting it? Swimming, perhaps, or getting ready for his day.

After Church and when I had finished my lunch, I went down to the bunk house. I had a cardboard box that had contained MD 40/40. I called all the nigras out and told them that any one that was not a God fearing man could have teh case to share with the rest of the lay-abouts and they'd not have to work the fields for a week.

Well, worthless old 'Rubber-Bonz' Jamal and 'No Ear' Cyris along with 'No Toes' Terrell walked forward to claim the prize. Scrub brushes and a week of clearing the septic pipes! The look of joy that turned to utter despair in a flash was priceless. April Fools, every one of them. If they'd give them selves to God, read the Bible and accept they were born to serve the White man they'd have less worries. Lord knows the lengths I go to tech them how God intended for them to be. I wonder if they get to go to Heaven to serve us there as well?

We had spiral cut ham for dinner while the day-shines were out clearing the pipes.
