Poisson d' Avril

April Fools' Day - or if you are in France, Poisson d' Avril, literally the Fish of April. If you were in Paris or Provence today you might find a cardboard fish taped to your back, put there by a prankster (somewhat like the "Kick me" signs we all remember from grade school). When the fish is discovered - everyone shouts "Poisson d' Avril!!" Ah, those crazy French.
