Our friends at Mandolin Cafe have a hilarious post available this morning which takes advantage of the reputation of today’s date, and a long-standing tradition of news parodies dated 4/1. Theirs is entitled, Bass Pro Enters Mandolin Market, and is well worth a few moments of your Saturday or Sunday morning.
