    April Fools' Day is celebrated in different countries of the earth on April 1 every year. Sometimes mentioned towards as All Fools' Day, April 1 is not a national holiday, but is broadly recognized and applauded as a day when a lot civilians play everybody breeds of jokes and foolishness. The day is spotted via the commission of good-humored or alternatively funny jokes, hoaxes, and else realistic jokes of varying sophistication onto allies, relations members, teachers, neighbors, profession acquaintances, etc.





    There are many stories behind the origin of this day I am sharing few of them here. In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392), the "Nun's Priest's Tale" is set Syn March began thirty days and two. Modern scholars accept as factual that there is a making a duplicate mistake in the extant manuscripts and that Chaucer really wrote, Syn March was gon, Thus the route initially intended 32 days after March, i.e. May 2, the celebration of the commitment of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia, which took location in 1381. Readers evidently misread this line to signify "March 32", i.e. April 1. In Chaucer's tale, the vain c**k Chauntecleer is deceived by a fox.

    It is not unprofessional to play jokes on this day because in many countries this has been the tradition to celebrate this day by playing jokes and pranks with friends and colleagues. I am a working professional and always play jokes and pranks with my friends in this day. Hope you will enjoy this day.
