Huh? Somebody did prank you - April Fools Day is on April 1st in Germany, too (Aprilscherz) - but cutting off your ties is part of Weiberfastnacht, the Thursday of Carneval when the last and hot part of Karnival starts. Anybody who’s in the Rhineland region during Karneval and doesn’t notice it … deserves a cut-off tie.
Am I the only one who finds three spellings for C/Karne/ival really confusing?
Didn’t he say it was a butt-orange?

I love a good prank, even when I’m the prankee. But I hate April Fool’s Day because it’s like Prank Amateur Night. Almost everything anyone does is immediately obvious or really irritating or (usually) both.
Real pranksters know you have to do it when people aren’t expecting it.
So don’t walk through any doorways during April without a snorkel.
Sorry, get mixed up some times.Karneval = German spelling in use in the region (in other regions, known as Fasching or Fastnacht)
