It’s okay to be a little bit silly. It’s even more okay to be such a foolish individual that you can barely be serious within our very serious society. I am one of those people, and being foolish and goofy has done nothing but bring happiness into my life. In medieval times, kings and queens had jesters, also known as fools, that served as entertainment for the royal family. There were two different types of fools: artificial fools and natural fools. Artificial fools were what you’d picture as a typical jester who used his wits to make others laugh. Natural fools were often people with mental or physical disabilities; their disabilities were what the royal families found amusing. Yikes! These roles and phrases have fallen out of usage since medieval and Renaissance Europe. When was the last time you heard someone be called a «fool»? Probably not for a while before you clicked on this article. If you’re a silly goose who needs to get their meme fix, these foolish memes might make you laugh or dance a jolly gig.
