On April 1, Lawyer and PR rep J. Peter Segall took out an ‘in memoriam’ ad in the Washington Post for long-time friend, former ambassador to Morocco and still very much alive man, Edward M. Gabriel.
It was the April Fools equivalent of skydiving - a dangerous stunt with little payoff which only becomes a horrifying joke when the gigantic accidents that could happen do happen.
And, in that, this became hilarious.
The prank cost Segal a little more than $300 for the ad space. It cost Gabriel a day of fielding calls from saddened friends who thought he had died. One woman had spent two hours crying.
The comedian purchased a retraction to his April Fools day joke for the April 2 edition of the Post. It should do wonders for his PR buisness. J Peter Segall: because telling people that a loved one is dead is almost as funny as killing him.

Mitchell Street was once known as the Polish Grand Avenue, the main drag for Milwaukee’s large Polish-American community. The Poles began moving away in the 1970s, making way for new chapters in the city’s immigrant story. Mitchell Street has
Little touches set it apart: the twist of lime on the rim of a glass of cranberry juice, the faux modern paintings on the wall… Ten years after it opened, Metro Bar & Cafe, just off the lobby of Hotel Metro (411 E. Mason St.), remains a timelessly
