The Day of the Fool

[Devil Doc]

Today is April Fools' Day, a holiday celebrating practical jokes of all kinds. The British collection of folk wisdom known as Poor Robin's Almanac (1662) says: "The first of April, some do say, Is set apart for All Fools' Day."

One theory about the origin of April Fools' Day is that it started in France in 1582. Up until then, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st, but when Europe adopted the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Day was moved to January 1st. At the time, news of such things traveled slowly, and it took many years for everyone to get up to speed. People who continued to celebrate New Years on April 1st came to be known as April Fools.

My eleven year old woke up this morning bragging that she was the master and was going to get me good. So far I got her by coating the hand rail upstairs and underneath her light switch with vaseline. Put a hole in her cup and her milk ran down the front of her shirt. I also, rigged the faucet in her bathroom to spray out when she turned it on. She came out of the bathroom soaking wet saying she gave up. :laugh: :laugh:
Darn! I was just getting started. I wanted to put a Jolly Rancher inside the Shower head creating a "sticky situation" .
