April Fools’, Fools of April or April of the Fools
YAY! Another year has come and yet another April 1st is here. Ever wondered what’s it all about this day ?
Wikipedia Say that April Fools’ Day or All Fools’ Day is a day celebrated in various countries on April 1. Yeah right… and that’s just once a year ?
They tend to try to convince me that “The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbors, or sending them on a fool’s errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. Traditionally, in some countries, such as the UK, Australia, and South Africa the jokes only last until noon, and someone who plays a trick after noon is called an “April Fool”.”
Oh, come on!… have these guys ever heard of a late-afternoon-wake-up-after-a-long-exhausting-evening-full-of-fun ?
Isn’t April Fools just a great chance to tell the truth without insulting anybody? As someone posted to me today scientists have discovered that 60% of what you say consciously or subconsciously during the day is a lie. Well … we still have a good amount of 40% ..
And if we trust on the above text .. and the above figures it turns out that there’s nothing practical in the stupid jokes you try to tell to the “family members, enemies, and neighbors, or sending them on a fool’s errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible.”
And always remember that:
“The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.” - Mark Twain
I wonder what would it be in the “extra” day of the leap year ..
