The remarkable pull of April Fool's Day - Leigha - Apr 1, 2017

April Fool's Day, a time where pranks are pulled, and you either laugh or become angry over them. I find April Fool's to be all in good fun, unless someone takes a joke too far, like I've seen a couple of times. What do you think about April Fool's day? Do you find it all in good folly, or do you feel literally ''the fool?''

I don't know anymore.  Some of the pranks that you see on YouTube are out of control.

I thought this one was funny, though.

It's mildly irritating if I wasted some time over a prank, usually do to my forgetting all about it.
