April Fools: Who Are the Real Fools?

Not too long ago April Fools Day was celebrated all around the world as is the age old tradition. It has been celebrated since sometime in the 1580s and has been a phenomenon ever since then. We see classic jokes such as the good ol’ slightly unscrewing the lid of a salt shaker at a restaurant joke, we see jump scares, we see all kinds of different pranks for the 24 hour day we call April Fools Day.

But what if we’ve all been fooled for centuries? What if this entire time we’ve been lied to about one of the traditions we as human beings hold so sacred? Or more accurately, what if we’ve all been the ones who are being pranked for this long? I’m here to propose a new theory that might take some of you by surprise, what if April Fools Day isn’t really on April 1st?

Now let me explain, for years we’ve experienced several lies made by people in high authority (e.g. Government Officials), and so many Americans have been fooled or swindled by those who were supposed to protect us. We as Americans have learned about so many lies told, some examples are the infamous Bill Clinton & Monica Lewinsky Scandal, the Edward Snowden whistle blowing incident, and there are many more. So what if the April Fools Day craze is just another government plot to hide us from the truth?

Well everybody, I can’t be the only person considering this radical idea. It is our job as the American people to call the things our government does to “protect us” and keep them in check. So go ahead and tell someone, everyone you know. We all need to know about this and be wary of any plots that could threaten the public peace.
