April Fool’s Day apparently traces its origins to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The gist of a shallow dive into the search engines reveals no one knows where the idea of playing (usually) harmless practical jokes on April 1 came from.
Sometimes I see a headline and come to the conclusion that someone has declared it Fool’s Year or Fool’s Decade or the Century of the Fools; forget about having a single day to pull the wool over people’s eyes in fun, although some of this isn’t funny.
I’d prattle on, but I’m late for a cup of coffee with my friends Elvis Presley and D.B. Cooper. They love this day every year.
