Dave walked into the bar yesterday- April Fool's Day- while Joe was on opening duty.
Joe told Dave he had a phone message: Sea World had called. Dave, naturally was skeptical of this, but Joe insisted that yes, indeed, someone from Sea World had called with a question about The Sandbar's fish tank.
Dave thought it was more likely that someone else had called with a question, and Joe had misunderstood the caller's name. Perhaps it was someone from Pet World, where we buy equipment and fish for our tanks.
To be fair, Dave was pretty tired yesterday. He had an early morning meeting for Downtown Lawrence, Inc., which he serves as a board member, and he had worked late the night before, so he only had a few hours' sleep.
However, Joe then told Dave that the caller's name was Mr. Shamu.
And would you believe, Dave actually called the number Joe gave him, which was really Sea World's phone number, and asked for Mr. Shamu?
Props to the Joe Factor for pulling off a successful April Fool's Day prank on his boss. Will he still have a job tomorrow?

Joe was so excited that Dave fell for his prank..he called me shortly after….he was as giddy as a school girl.
Dave wasn’t tired, he was gullible! HA! Gotcha, sucker! I’m surprised Joe had the smarts to pull it off. I’m going to go to the Unemployment line and congratulate him. See ya at the party next week, Davey-boy!
Ahhh sweet sweet Dave!
Dave is cute, is he single?
I really thought that “meremaid” and “sandy shores” would turn out to be brother pants or pattooo…but apparently not. Looks like Dave has a secret admirer. He’s excited.
When I heard this prank yesterday I about fell off my chair! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long long time! Kudos to Factor! (Who knew!? However he said it took him 45 minutes to find that phone number- HELLO??? GOOGLE!!! duh.)
Dave… tsk tsk… so so funny.
Dave has many admirers! I’m just not secretive about it.
So is he single or not? I didn’t see a ring on his finger, but you never know.
Dave is very married. His wife doesn’t let him wear his wedding ring to work in the hopes that his admirers will leave bigger tips.
That is funny as hell!!!!
