John and Jack are relaxing in a bar. John says that April arrives tomorrow. Jack says that April arrives the day after tomorrow. They were both right. How is that possible?

They're not talking about the same April; one of them is talking about a woman named April.

Two ideas:
1. The bar straddles a time-zone, it is 11:30pm on one side and 12:30am on the other.
2. It's March 31st, and April is a lady due to arrive in time in two days (or it's March 30 and the lady comes in the next day).

April is their cleaning lady (or less reputable profession) who visits one of them on one day and the other on the next.
