Thoughts on April Fools’ Day

12 Baha 164 B.E. – Sunday, April 1, 2007

There is no fool like an old fool, unless it is a young fool.
There was a song in the 60s or 70s called April’s Fool.
Why isn’t there a Fool’s Sandwich instead of just a Hero’s Sandwich?
Isn’t it wonderful that Earth has a holiday devoted strictly to fools?
A little foolishness never hurt anyone and it makes life a little less stressful.
Is there is a phobia that relates to fools, fear of fools or looking like a fool?
In the medieval courts, fools could say things to the monarchs that ordinary humans would loose their heads if they said.
The history of April Fools’ Day goes back to the change of the New Year celebration. When people who celebrated New Years Day on January 1 instead of April 1, saw people celebrating April 1 they called them April Fools.
April 1 is the only day of the year, one doesn’t have to worry about Looking Like a Fool, because it is expected.
Looking like a fool refers to the way the fools or jesters medieval courts dressed.
Only Fools Rush in Where Angels Fear to Tread, I think that was an Elvis song.
If only fools fall in love, does that make the entire human race fools?
Remember there is a little bit of fool in every human being.
Don’t just stand there looking like a fool, do something foolish; especially on April Fools’ Day.
