No fool like an old fool

 


It is of course April Fools' Day! But isn't every day April Fools' Day here at Dizgraceland.  I realize I recently posted this image here already, but I kind of like it because it makes me look like the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in the World from their commercials. I see they have brought him back recently (though he is starting to show his age). 

I asked ChatGPT to make me into Poisson d'avril, or the April Fish as the French call April Fools. 

I was thinking more of me with a fishlike head, dressed like a fool, but this works. Not sure why it gave me two tails, but ChatGPT has been a bit off lately so I try not to confuse it more. This morning I asked for a humorous version of Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken for a t-shirt design for National Walking Day and it gave me this:


I would have thought it was its idea of an April Fools' joke, but it was dead serious with it and didn't take kindly when I told it not to include images of me in designs unless I specifically asked for them. I also said this didn't make any sense. Then it gave me this which wasn't much better. 

It looked like a friggin' Black Hole. Finally I got this one:

I think it finally captured the spirit of what I was trying to convey (though I don't think Robert Frost would have thought it was funny). I'm not sure poet's have senses of humor anyway. I wonder if anyone ever asked Robert Frost if he was related to Jack and did he like to nip at people's noses, too. 

Bet he never heard that one too many times.
