April Fool's Day

image
What if you are driving through town today and you see a guy standing on the corner holding a sign that says, “THE WORLD ENDS TODAY”? It could be that he’s one of those nuts that has seen too many apocalypse movies, or it could be that he is out there because today is…
APRIL FOOL’S DAY!!!!
Beware the pranks of friends.
Stick a sign on your loved one’s back that says “KICK ME.” Sprinkle hot pepper in your husband’s cereal. Put Vaseline into the toes of your wife’s slippers.
APRIL FOOLS!!!!
Mark Twain, of course, had something to say on this subject. Here are three of his mots:
“It’s better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
“Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.”
“The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.”
Better go look in the mirror. There’s something on your nose.

It's too long to put here, but you could google "april fool's day" and learn the history. (I love using "google" as a verb!)

I really hope your cereal be pepper-free, and your wife's slippers unguent-free. I do think, however, adults should start throwing April Fools' Parties. Makes more sense than some other holidays.

I agree!! A day for adults to go trick or treating...

Ut oh... I think I've been had by the Home Depot:
"Today we are proud to announce that America’s favorite smell, the smell of The Home Depot, will be available just in time for summer. Grab the unisex fragrance that inspires the do-it-yourselfer in all of us.

I saw something about Pizza Hut cologne.

Gee, and I thought America's favorite smell was of McDonalds fries...

All Fools Eve would be a good excuse to dress up in costumes and party hard. Start a new holiday.

I'll vote for that. I told our local postmistress that I was surprised the postal service didn't close down for the day. I hope she took it in the spirit it was intended.
