April Fools’ Day exists as one of the world’s most popular and enduring festivals. For hundreds of years it has been a European favorite. It flourished, too, in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and India. In Mexico they celebrate it, too, but on December 28.
April Fools’ Day is also one of the year’s shortest holidays. Custom demands that all fooling cease precisely at noon on April 1; after which the joke rebounds upon the joker, as one English saying scolds:
April Fools’ Day’s past and goner
And you’re the fool for making one.
And there it ends--everywhere, that is, except in Fife, north of Edinburgh, Scotland. There, April 2 is a continuation of April Fools’ Day. Highly specialized, Taily Day is entirely dedicated to tricks involving bottoms and back parts of the legs. "Kick me" cards enjoy immense popularity on this day.
