In honour of April Fools, here's the most successful trick my dad every played. These postcards were printed out by the dozen and sent to over a hundred friends, family and general acquaintances. At least one person (that we know of) turned up to her local GP with a urine sample. Rumour has it that the NHS in Wales gave a hoax warning to all a staff as a result.
But what was most funny (and possibly indicative of the organisational structure of the NHS) was that some doctors thought it was genuine and actually treated patients as a result.
So despite some people feeling foolish, this is a trick that may have had a net positive in the world. Better than littering the houses of the visually impaired, anyway.
