April Fool's Day

Why is this day the only one marked for all of the fools out there? It seems to me that every day is Fool's Day. Just look around.

Today I counted all of the fools I ran into. I didn't leave the house until noon and I was already up to 4. But that includes telephone calls.

One quick trip to the barber and by the time I got back home I was up to 10. Of course, most of those were folks that pass for "licensed" drivers.

A trip out this evening to Starbucks and the grocery store and I was at 33. Why do folks careen down grocery store aisles unable to stay in a semi-straight line? Shouldn't they give out tickets for jay-walking in a store? I think they should!

It's 9:34 PM. Wait. 10:34 PM if you're a good doobie and already moved your clocks ahead one hour in the mountain time zone. Frankly, I don't see the point if you're only going to have to change them back again this fall.

I wonder how many more fools I can encounter in the next two hours and 26 minutes? TV doesn't count.
