April pranks
BY CHARLES LEROUX
Chicago Tribune

.. No. 1 on the list is the "documentary" shown in 1957 on BBC television depicting the unusually abundant spaghetti harvest that year .. Happy villagers in the area of Switzerland just across the Italian border were shown hand-picking the pasta from the "orchards" of trees .. Dimbleby's upper crust monotone delivery continued, "Another reason why this may be a bumper year lies in the virtual disappearance of the spaghetti weevil .." The film ends on an upbeat note: "For those who love this dish, there's nothing like real, home-grown spaghetti" ..
