A few hours ago two women around me were talking like

“Do you know why everyone can lie on April fool’s day?”
“dunno”
“Do you know Guild, an association of craftsmen in Europe in the 18th century?”
“I’ve heard of it”
“Well, back then they kept the accounts when they were running a business.
But sometimes calculation didn’t match the numbers in the accounts. You know, there was no calculator then.
So they set a day in which they reset the gaps between them once a year, that is, 1st of April.”
“Ah I see”
“The day became like the one in which no-one blames even if calculation and the accounts didn’t accord,
And then, being stretched the meaning of the day, it became like the day we can lie.”
“Wao really? Didn’t know that!”
“I’m lying tho”
“Oh shit”
