There is a number of silly and dumb things that you have the license to do today on the Holiday of Fools.
Planting your crop today would be one of them here in New England. As a matter of fact, that's where the Holiday got its name.
Farmers that thought they could get a jump on the growing season were labeled as fools for the reason that here, it can freeze on any day over the next month.
Now that growing your own food has become second to shopping for it, the day has been turned over to the pranksters as a no bars held day for pulling the wool over the eye's of the folks you come in contact with over the day.
The list is huge, but when it all comes out, by taking the time for fooling someone, as it always seems to work out,the only fool is the fooler.
How about doing something really nice for someone today. It could surprise them more then any trick. They may think its a joke, Then who will be the fool?
