April fools: Your jokes must be delicate
Every year on April 1, April Fools' Day (sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day) is observed by playing practical pranks and disseminating hoaxes. April fools' refers to the jokes and their subjects. By yelling "April Fool", those perpetrating April Fool's gags reveal their deception. Certain newspapers, periodicals, and other forms of written media report on fabricated articles, which are typically clarified the next day or in small print beneath the news section. Although the day has been popular since the nineteenth century, no government recognizes it as a national holiday.
While historians are still dubious about the exact origins of April Fools' Day, the most accepted hypothesis is that it began with the conversion of the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII decreed that the new calendar should begin on January 1, rather than the end of March, as was customary previously. France was the first country to implement this adjustment to the annual calendar. Nevertheless, a sizable portion of Europe's population remained on the Julian calendar. As a result, people who adopted the new calendar began referring to those who refused to adapt as "fools", thereby initiating a practice that would endure for generations to come.
This traditional explanation for April Fools' Day, however, does not account for the fact that not every country in Europe adopted the Gregorian calendar at the same time. For example, it was not until 1752 that England adopted the new calendar. The concept of April Fools, on the other hand, was well-known there at the time.
Another possibility for the origin of this ritual is that it stems from the springtime custom of lighthearted fun that has been observed for ages in numerous regions of the world. For example, in ancient Rome, a festival called "Hilaria" was held during the final week of March to commemorate the resurrection of God Attis. Similarly, Holi is celebrated in India around the same time of year as a time for lighthearted jubilation with the use of color spraying. Perhaps the origins of April Fools Day can be traced back to the general atmosphere of merriment that has pervaded the planet for ages in the season when winter gives way to spring.
April Fools' Day is all about being silly, having a good time, and playing practical jokes on one another. It's the day that allows people to play practical jokes on one another. Having said that, I believe pranks should be lighthearted and limited to a mild form, as each individual has a different tolerance level. If you go over the line, the individual may have a difficult time accepting it.
Additionally, you never know what another person is going through, which is why your jokes must be delicate.

Practical jokes are only good when it will not hurt other people. I know some practical jokes gone wrong that even lead to deaths.
