APRIL FOOL'S, EVERYONE! (It's April 1st in the Line Islands of Kiribati as of the time of posting, good enough for me.)
Once again, it's time for the Chess Problems & Studies Discord's (https://discord.com/invite/wHzKhXbugb) annual April Fool's tourney. Since April Fool's is the time for creativity and jokes, your task is to compose any joke problem! (THIS IS AN INFORMAL TOURNAMENT FOR WHICH THERE IS NO PRIZE.)
1. This tournament is organized and judged by @edderiofer#0713.
2. All puzzles will be pitted against each other in a single division and will primarily be judged on humour. (Hey, this is an informal April Fools tournament.)
3. The following conditions apply:
* Entries should consist of the board position, stipulation, and the intended solution. (Also be prepared to explain the joke if I don't get it.)
* The problem must be original and composed by the submitter. Anticipated problems may be disqualified at the organiser's discretion.
* The problem must be sound, in that the intended solution(s) should be the only one(s).
4. There is no maximum on the number of entries per author. Submit as many as you want.
5. Please send all entries via Discord DMs to @edderiofer#0713, or via email to [username]@gmail.com.
6. The submission phase will end once April Fools Day ends everywhere (2022-04-02, 12:00 UTC). After this, there will be a small delay for the purposes of verification, amendments, and judging.
7. All eligible submissions will receive a ranking (even if there are very few submissions). Honourable Mentions may be given to disqualified or late entries. All other disqualified/late entries that are not given an Honourable Mention will not be published.

Apologies for the wait, everyone. My life ended up getting really busy shortly after I received all the submissions. Eventually, I decided, along with Andrew Buchanan, to publish the problems and results in The Hopper Magazine. Full results may be seen in the article The 5 Families of Chess Joke, in The Hopper Magazine Issue #5 ( https://www.thehoppermagazine.com/sGGI05 ).
