The day has its uses after all.
April Fool's Day is probably a holdover from the Medieval festivals with the Fools, right? It's amazing how it persists.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I thought it was a Christian slur against people who still observed a certain pagan holiday.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Frankly, I'm finding all the April Fool's jokes I'm seeing online to be tiresome. Could be I'm just in a crappy mood today, though.

Nothing I've seen online has really stopped me from getting to what I needed to, so the pranking isn't bothering me.
Of course, the world is whirling merrily around my head, so what's a prank got to offer?
