Back in 1996 I was working in DC and my boss actually fell for the Taco Bell April Fools Day joke. I mean fell HARD. She fully believed that it was real, no matter how many times those of us in the office insisted it had to be a joke. She complained and complained about how the corporatization of our government had led to such a thing and so on. While I fully appreciated her concerns about the deep crossings between public and private, I knew it had to be a joke. After the hoax was revealed publicly, she created her own little Taco Bell boycott because she was still fuming. Did I ever mention that my ex-boss was crazy?
