Freewheelz announced
itself in Esquire magazine as an exciting
new company dedicated to giving away free
automobiles and mini-vans. In exchange for
the free autos, drivers had to agree not
to remove the large banner advertising that
covered the outside of the autos or turn
off the radios, which ran an endless stream
of advertisements. The first limited roll
outs of mini-vans were to a small, upscale
Chicago suburb, Barrington du Lac and early
reports were very exciting.
Because of some stringent
criteria, only a small percentage of customers
were eligible for the free wheels. Owners
had to agree to drive 300 miles a week,
and also had to complete a 600-question
survey that delved into personal information
such as hair loss worries and political
affiliation. Finally the applicants had
to submit their family's tax returns, notarized
video-store-rental receipts, and a stool
sample for analysis.
The first advertiser
to invest in the Freewheelz promotion was
Stayfresh, makers of tampons. A number of
mini-pad mini-vans supposedly were already
rolling around on the street of Chicago.
Esquire readers who took this to heart barraged
the editorial with phone calls, demanding
to know how they could sign up to drive
a Stayfresh minivan.

| The april fools practical jokes and
gag gifts contained in this site are so funny that
if I am drinking milk while checking these jokes
out, I snort all that white liquid out my nose!
Don't be one of the april fools, doggonit, check
these practical jokes and gag gifts out! The practical
jokes practically bring the house down! Down through
history the fools of April have had their day, one
day a year. See what those april fools have been
up to and don't laugh with them, laugh at them.
- Walter Cronkite
April and her band of fools just love the tomfoolery
on this site. From media hoaxes to pranks to gag
gifts to practical jokes this site makes me laugh
even when I'm in trouble with the law. Say, does
anyone know if April is available because I would
like to be her fool if you know what I mean. And
if not does she have a sister?
- Bill Clinton
This April fools practical jokes and gag gifts
pad is a jolly good site, indeed. I perused it
over one time and laughed so hard it almost made
me pee. Then a month later, I thought I would
look up a few April fools practical jokes to play
on dear young William (and even bought a few gag
gifts) and I came back to this pad and laughed
so hard I did pee my pants. Jolly good thing I
am wearing Depends now days.
- Queen Elizabeth
It is not knowledge that is important, but rather
imagination. And this April fools site is chocked
full of imagination. And of course knowledge.
Of course you can't deny the great gag gifts and
practical jokes you find here, either. When I
wrote my great theory I wasn't really thinking
of great media hoaxes or fart jokes but yes, now
I see that they too can apply. The jokes here
are practical and the gifts make me gag. Would
you like to see me slurp a loogie?
