Rabbit rabbit.
You need spiritual help? Ask the BYT (he's weighing in with his answers on Monday, so get your questions about God in now! You need any other help? Ask me.
So I guess today is the day people refer to as "April Fools Day," wherein people play malicious jokes on each other all in the name of 'good fun.' As somebody who is born in April, I think that on the years that Easter does not fall in the month, we have sort of crappy holidays. Tax day and the day where everyone is a jerk to each other. I guess I should make it clear that I'm not really a fan of practical jokes. Let's just say that I was told that somebody wrote the word "gullible" on the ceiling and I had to investigate. Yeah, I'm that person.
So why do we celebrate trickery and evil? Imagine if every month we had a holiday that basically rejoiced in kicking each other in the ass.
January 1: Kick Somebody in the Ass Day. It's fun! Strap on your boots and keep one eye behind you!
February 1: Shut up Day. Don't you hate it when people talk and it's boring or annoying? Feel free to join in a hearty you-know-what. Very satisfying at the office.
March 1: Drive on the Sidewalk Day. Pedestrians suck.
May 1: Don't Use a Kleenex Day. Make sure to shake plenty of hands.
June 1: Pull the Fire Alarm Day. If you actually work for a fire department, maybe just order a fraudulent pizza to somebody you don't like.
July 1: Find a Nerd and Pick on Him Day, Especially if It Looks Like He Has Bad Self Esteem.
August 1: Change Religions Just to Piss Off Your Parents Day.
September 1: Send Something Back in a Restaurant Multiple Times, Run Out on the Bill, Call in a Bomb Threat to the Restaurant, Go Back, Complain to the Manager, and Then Tip Over Your Table Day.
October 1: General Assholishness Day.
November 1: Ruin Somebody's Favorite Song by Singing Along Day. Make sure to try it at a wedding.
Psych Day. Just like April Fool's Day, but December 1. Psych! I'm not actually going to tell you when it is!
