The only day of the year when one can lie and endlessly joke

Thanks to a mild winter in Switzerland spaghetti fields have given a wonderful harvest. This news was announced by a BBC worker in 1967. The information brought hundreds of TV viewers to the TV Company. Everyone wanted to know the place of the fruitful trees of spaghetti. But everything falls into place if we add that the witty commentator had read this news on April 1.

There are several versions related to the origins of this holiday. In Armenia April 1 is also considered as a day of telling lies. In 2006 the government of Armenia adopted a decision to designate April 1 as Satire and Humor Day.
