Homer Simpson has a level of intellect to which many posters here can only aspire to achieve.

Many years ago, during the time of Saddam Hussein and his alleged WMD, a letter was sent to my (then) brother-in-law.
The letter was dated April 1 and was typed on 'official' MOD letter-headed paper.

It stated that as an able-bodied UK male citizen he must 'volunteer' for Military Service in Iraq.

My sister-in-law took about 3 nano-seconds to realise who wrote the letter, but she played along.

The following day, after my brother-in-law had endured a totally sleepless night, my sister-in-law became worried when she caught him on the phone trying to arrange for someone to break his leg.

All she had to say was 'Look at the date, stupid'. To which his reply was....'Fox......I'll KILL HIM !'

Wake-up, people!
