Please Mr Postman

I've been waiting for a piece of mail for a few days and it arrived today. The whole thing's kind of had me on pins and needles, bouncing off the walls even. Like waiting for the results of an HIV test ... just tell me already so I can deal with the news and move on.

Dear Robert,

MA CREATIVE WRITING (NOVELS) 2008/9

Thank you for applying for a place on the above course. You have passed the first stage in the selection process and we would now like to invite you for an interview ...

Trouble is, the letter's dated 1 April 2008.

Very funny indeed.
