Along the radio station line there is a group on the morning drive called the Dawn Patrol (surfing term) or Dave, Shelley and Chainsaw in San Diego.
They always played the best April Fools jokes and EVERY year people would fall for it even though they were notorious for this year in and year out.
One of the most memorable was when they said the Space Shuttle had to make an emergency landing at Montgomery Field. For a DFW comparison think Meecham or Addison airport. They had an "on site" reporter calling the landing, seeing it come through the clouds, etc. Traffic was backed up for miles around the airport which is in the middle of San Diego. Cars on the side of the road, people looking in the sky.
Priceless!
