April Fool April 1, 1935

She hurried out of the doctor's office and found a pay phone.   She dialed the Daily News switchboard, then he came on the line.  "Hello".  
Breathless with excitement, she exclaimed, "Warren, guess what the doctor said – we're going to have twins!
Silence.  Then he said, "Esther, you didn't really think I'd fall for it, did you?"  He chuckled.  "You know, I wasn't exactly born yesterday". 
Now she was silent.  He went on, "All right, I'll say it for you: April Fool.
"B-but Warren, I mean it!  It's true!", she said, and burst into tears.
