Visiting today: Dr Loof Lirpa
Enzyme reminds me, when I was still at school, maybe year 8, there was a note put in the morning register. It read something like this, I can't remember the exact wording;

'All Year 8 students are to go to the assembly hall at 11:00 for a speacial visit from Dr Loof Lirpa. He is here to talk to everyone about their future careers.

I, aswell as others, were happy to be missing a lesson and didn't consider this request to be fraudulent or even slightly odd, besides they often have special visitors in to talk to us all.

At 11 everyone finished morning break and were *apparently* due in the assembly hall. However most people had already heard this was a practical joke played by a small group from one class.

Some people on the other hand did not know of this and went to find the hall being used for a play rehearsal and were a very unwelcome distraction.

I was fortunate to have heard of the plot and avoided humiliation. Those that didnt arrived to class late, several given detention for wasting time.

The real trick I believe was that only 1 tutor out of 7 classes realised the prank, even though it was april fools day.

Length? erm... I'd rather not say
