April 30 is National Honesty Day in the United States. M. Hirsh Goldberg invented this day and chose the last day of April, as the first day of this month is April Fool’s Day, a day full of lies and pranks.
On National Honesty Day, everyone is expected to answer truthfully to all questions they are asked.
M. Hirsh Goldberg, author and former press secretary of Maryland, thought of this day in the early 1990′s while working on his book The Book of Lies: Fibs, Tales, Schemes, Scams, Fakes, and Frauds That Have Changed The Course of History and Affect Our Daily Lives.
National Honesty Day may also have been designed to commemorate the truthfulness of presidents and other past noble leaders such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. This day can be used to tell of their great stories of honesty.
As we all know…….. Honesty is the best policy.
