kind of like what we'd do on May Day, but instead of throwing water, we'd steal kisses...

In my salad days the tradition on May 1st was to leave a bouquet at someone's door, ring the bell and leave.
Most traditional was a small basket of flowers hung on the doorknob. Older people were special recipients of childrens largesse.

>kind of like what we'd do on May Day I wonder if one's taking one's first ever long-haul flight on May Day is a bad omen?

Oh, that's still true in a funny kind of way. They'll carry things for the old people, like their wallets, and they'll give freely, especially bruises and the occasional good kicking.
