On This Day

It is not only the first day of the second quarter of the year, but it is also the midpoint of the first half of the year.
April Fool’s Day! This day became popular in the 1700s by English pranksters. It has been celebrated for several centuries by several different cultures. Jokes were sending someone on a “fool’s errand,” looking for things that don’t exist, playing practical jokes and pranks, and trying to get people to believe ridiculous ideas and things. What is your best joke you have played or got played?
