Went to a West End theatre wearing my "Slamilton" t-shirt.
In this corridor, during the act break, a stranger spotted it and did a double-take.
"Is that...? wait... that's not Hamilton!", they said.
I seized my chance.
"It's Slamilton," I replied. "You know: 'Who slams, who jams, who tells their story.'"
And then, after a pause: "What's 'Hamilton'???"

I've always had a thing for big, overcomplicated April Fools' gags. Traditionally, we'd always play pranks on Penbryn Halls at the University, but it's not so easy these days to gain access to halls of residence, now that they've installed door locks that don't open by themselves when you so much as breathe hard on …
