I think it's good to keep in mind jokes are there to make others laugh. If it makes someone cry, there's no harm in telling them you didn't intend to hurt them (I'd hope you didn't intend to, or it wasn't really a joke).
There is harm in trying to bully them into laughing or telling them off for not finding it funny. Which is what happened last year (e.g., lighten up, get a sense of humour, there's something wrong with you if you didn't find that funny). That was far more unpleasant than the jokes themselves.
It was only a few people doing that, but it only takes a few. If you cuffed them round the ear in the days after April Fools, that'd make it far nicer. An unfunny joke is easy to forget. Someone attacking you for not finding is funny is much harder.

Has anyone not been a fool at least once?
One April 1st, a group of us sat imbibing great wine and food, and each described the most foolish thing we ever did. I recommended it.

Foolish things
I tried that one day, in the privacy of my own head. I started a list of the times that I made a complete fool of myself. Lost count at about 2,500.

so as i understand it, if we have a methood for telling our "noobs" from our new members that picked the wrong day, and the mods know ahead of time what we are going to do, its all good that day?

I'll hide his sausage any time
I'm considering subjecting everyone to my own complete nervous breakdown come April.
Wow. I'm glad I didn't partake in the foolishness.
Oh, I can't say it with a straight face. Okay, fair warning everyone. What happens on April 1st stays on April 1st.

I've heard tell that he might be donning his chef's hat once more. Though there are a few other folks chomping at the bit for their turn in the spotlight.
*swoons*
yeah I know I'm weird. He looks like Thor kk?
Maybe Batista could make a comeback and loom over everyone, as he does so well.
Mine's all planned.
I'm gonna create a new account, then accuse Mac of being an angry hysterical girl with a potty mouth who wears jackboots and a bikini and trods all over free speech with her blatant liberal censorship, meanwhile lowering the male level of discourse by so blatantly displaying her hawtness.
Wait, that one's already been done?
