In times gone by, when television still spoke the truth and the internet was a mythical land akin to Atlantis, Poland was home to a tradition that surprised not just the unsuspecting maidens but also the inexperienced boys who hadn't yet mastered the art of aiming. This is about "śmigus-dyngus," a tradition of dousing anyone unlucky enough to stick their nose out of the house on the Monday after Easter with water. Interestingly, there's also an April Fools' version of this tradition, which involves surprising not just maidens but anyone who happens by, with a droplet of water or a whole bucket, depending on the prankster's inventiveness.
