April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is an annual custom on the first of April consisting of practical jokes and hoaxes. Jokesters often expose their actions by shouting "April Fools!" at the recipient. Mass media can be involved with these pranks, which may be revealed as such the following day. The custom of setting aside a day for playing harmless pranks upon one's neighbor has been relatively common in the world historically.--wiki

*Chiladas = Beer with Clamato

April Fool’s Day There’s still time to find jokes from think tanks If family offers you a gift say no thanks Not on April first Family is the worst Unless you’re not the brunt of all their pranks Cinco De Mayo Come join the fun on Cinco De Mayo Latinos grab a bat and don’t be shy good fellow Hang the Donald piñatas We’ll serve up the Chiladas Batter up, swing it hard, and aim down low

I said I’d leave this one a couple of days before I comment, just in case you were playing pranks lol! But then I remembered you posted one last year about Cinco de Mayo with a great video of the festivities, pity the piñata isn’t the real thing, Lims are fun when aimed below the belt, cheers David

I wished I'd thought of something like this, lol. That was for Dia De Los Muertos, the video from online folks. The Mexican army’s May 5, 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. Made all in fun, Cheers!
