It’s not quite a prank, but former President Bill Clinton rang in April Fools’ Day by photoshopping himself into the famous image of his wife Hillary Clinton that launched the “Texts From Hillary” meme.

Clinton put a new spin on the old meme early Tuesday morning, tweeting a photo in which he too sports dark sunglasses but swaps the former secretary of state’s cell phone for a giant iPad:

Clinton also changed his Twitter bio to read “Husband, dad, FPOTUS, Bono impersonator, 3-piece suit aficionado, Hoya + Razorback fan, meme appropriator,” mirroring his wife’s tongue-in-cheek bio. When Hillary Clinton created her twitter account last year, she thanked the “Texts From Hillary” creators for the inspiration.
