Chinese Man Wants Divorce After April Fools Prank

A Chinese man is divorcing his wife after she pretended to hang herself as an April Fool's joke.

A local paper reports it all happened when Mr. Lin, of Shanghai, came home on April 1 after a business trip.

"When I opened the door, I saw a black object swinging in the air. When I turned on the light I was shocked to see my wife had hanged herself", he said. Lin immediately called police and a few other people helped Lin take down the 'body' while waiting for the police.

"Suddenly, she sat up, started to laugh hysterically, and said this was my April Fool's Day present", says an upset Lin.

He says his wife, a 26-year-old actress, is always playing jokes on him as a way of keeping the marriage fresh, and that she wants to "surprise him everyday".

But Lin has has had enough: "I feel as if I'm sitting on a bomb everyday. We're getting divorced".

"I can't stand the jokes and games anymore. She hides the dishes in the washing machine, or changes the lock on the door, so that I can only enter by giving the correct answer to some stupid question, and so on".
