National Presidential Joke Day History

National Presidential Joke Day traces its origins back to August 11, 1984. The then-US President, Ronald Reagan, made an unexpected joke during a sound check. It quickly became a major faux pas. As the Cold War was winding down, Reagan jokingly announced that he had signed legislation that would outlaw Russia forever and that bombing would begin in five minutes. During this time, presidential sound checks were usually kept private, but this one was leaked to the public. While the joke was definitely criticised, it also gave people a glimpse of the president's sense of humour. From this incident, National Presidential Joke Day was born, and it has been celebrated in various ways ever since.
