Sticky Nem - April Fools?

[cdness]

So I was in the LFS yesterday getting ready to pick up a nem for our pair of SaddleBack clownfish. I told the guy working that I'll take the LTA nem, but I need him to reach in and check to see if the tentacles are sticky or not. He asked why so I explained that if the nem is healthy the tentacles will stick to his finger. If not healthy they will not stick.

He said he'd believe me if it was any other day than yesterday, which was when I realized it was April 1st. I told him I'd do it if he didn't want to as I'm not pulling his leg and it's an honest request. He still didn't believe me until my wife reached into another tank and started to play with an RBTA. After he saw that he took 10 minutes to work up some courage and came back to tell me the tentacles were sticky.

So I bought the nem, but I thought it was a funny story so I figured I'd share.

Anyone else have any good April Fools fish stories?

Your wife reached into a LFS tank?

I think I'd start shopping around for a different LFS since this guy didn't seem to know what he was doing...lol

He was actually pretty new. The rest of the guys are good there. You have to start somewhere right?
