Riddle: Why did the microscope get promoted? Answer: It always focused on the details.
🤔 Are #AprilFools’ jokes still appropriate today? Some say they're risky because of fake news, others believe #humor is always welcome, plus the tradition goes back centuries.
We’re up for a laugh! But no tricks today. Instead, here’s a #riddle for you 🤓😂
