How April Fools Day How it started from

April fool is named April Fool after Andy April. He was born on the 1st of April in 1926. He lost all his fathers assets in many bad business deals and so people started calling him "Andy April Fool".... At 19 years old he married a woman who was 61 years old who divorced him because of his foolishness. He used to read all kinds of fake stories like you are doing now ..

That's what I heard

I had members of Old Barn Photography on FB going with a lighthouse picture showing a bit of a '61 Vette in the lower corner. I said it was a barn that belonged to a humorous millionaire farmer who kept a few Black Angus for his annual lavish bull roasts he put on. He paved a road (a little bit of it showing in pic) so he could drive one of his classic Corvettes to check on the stock. The farmer's name was something like Stansbury Milford Brown III. Get it? Farmer Brown? I really had 'em going with the most far-fetched tall tale I ever came up with
