To celebrate April 1st, I sidestep last year’s April Fools to focus on France’s Poisson d’Avril. Like April Fools Day, April Fish follows the same playful tradition of pranks, jokes, and hoaxes (but includes taping a paper fish to someone’s back). A fish is also a term for people easily hooked or fooled. My dictionary’s one-armed Merman shows the ASL hand sign for FISH. The hand swings back and forth as it moves forward, like a fish swimming in the water.
