Most likely, there is no such person on the planet,who has not played at least one of his relatives or friends on April 1. Starting from a small child to people of middle age, from students to business people, everyone is trying to play April Fools' jokes in any way.
Почему этот день празднуют именно первого апреля, no one knows for sure. There are several versions of where the April Fools' holiday came from. Some believe that the ancestors of it were ancient Romans, and it was they who in mid-February (and not April) decided to celebrate the feast of Silly people. The second version is that this holiday came to us from India, where people celebrated the time of jokes and fun, and fell on this day on March 31. If you look into the history, then the rallies on the first of April in the ancient world were arranged only by the Irish, and the reason for their fun was the New Year.
Also, one of the versions can be considered thatOnce the Neapolitan king decided to celebrate the successful completion of the earthquake, and he was presented with a fish as a gift. A year later, he demanded to repeat the fun, but it was no such fish that was found and he was replaced, the king saw a trick and he liked it. So he decided every year to arrange a day with unexpected surprises.
The celebration of April 1 came to Russia at the time when Peter I reigned. It was he who gave life to such a holiday that pleases us to this day.

- In 1992, the London Times was placeda note that the territory of Belgium will soon be divided between the two countries: the north will be joined to the Netherlands, and the south to the territory of France. The joke provoked a huge wave of indignation, and the British Foreign Secretary was forced to explain himself on television.
- In 1950, Denmark’s television reported thatFinally, the leaning tower of Pisa collapsed. The next time they announced that the government has a new technology that can detect TVs that have not been licensed. But if you wrap the device with foil, it will not be able to "detect". A few hours later, all the foil was bought in stores.

- For girls, this kind of drawing is possible:early April Fools' morning wake up your boyfriend and say to him: “Congratulations! You will become a dad in 9 months (well, either 8 or 7 or ... depending on your situation)!”.
- And finally, another option - call somewhere at 2 am and speak in such a sweet and polite voice:
"Goodnight! Good day wishes you good offices.
If not worked the first time, you can repeat.
