5.Sitra Walker was an employee at a clothing store in Columbus, Ohio. She had only been working there for two weeks, but already she felt that she knew the manager well enough to joke around with him. So on April 1, 2003 she called him up at his home and told him that armed men were robbing the store. The manager immediately called the police, who promptly dispatched four cruisers. Minutes later Walker phoned the manager again and screamed 'April Fools'. Too late. When the police arrived moments later they weren't amused and charged her with inducing a panic. Walker's manager fired her.

一家服装店的雇员 Sitra Walker只在那工作了两个星期，然而她觉得自己和经理已经熟到可以开玩笑的程度了。愚人节那天她打电话给经理说店里被人抢了。经理立刻打电话报警，警察派了四辆巡逻车来。等她再打电话来说是开玩笑时，迟了。警察没觉得这个好笑，起诉她蓄意制造混乱。而经理也毫不犹豫地开除了她。
