FOOLS SHMOOLS

         GOT ME EVERY TIME

Or—

Get ready, for tomorrow they come😈

With the mélange of news that verge on the absurd, the factoids generated by AI and unwell-meaning pranksters (or worse) in daily news and life, the line between what really happened and what qualifies as April Fools’ Folly is blurred.

 

Which of the below-mentioned events are faux-fool, and which are real?

 

*A long-lost ancient Roman artifact reappears in a New Orleans backyard

*A five-year-old named Tod wins a beauty pageant for buffaloes in Thailand

*Hair museum showcasing locks from Marilyn Monroe and other century-old celebs closes its doors

*Noah’s Ark, thought to be a mythological artifact, is discovered whole at the bottom of a Turkish lake

 

Reality is absurd enough at times, as to make April Fools nearly obsolete. Get ready anyway 😳

I was fooled by a couple of those. Truth is stranger than that other stuff.
Happy Passover, no fooling!

Yes, happy Passover to you, dear friend. And may you have a fun April Fool's Day tomorrow.

All of these could be true, but I know that the Noah's Ark story HAS to be true! A most blessed Passover to you!
