Do you enjoy a good prank? This Friday, April 1st, is April Fools Day!
While the first day of April has been associated with practical jokes since the 1300's -- first referenced in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canerbury Tales -- April Fools day does not exist as an actual public holiday on any calendar in any country.
A public holiday is usually established by the laws of a country. In spite of this, several cultures have long practiced the act of setting aside a specific day of the year to celebrate the art of the joke.
Just remember, a joke should be in good fun for everyone. No prank should be at the expense of someone's feelings.
Take advantage of this Friday to check out a funny book, or perhaps a book on practical jokes.
