Happy April Fish Day!

While all you Americans are tricking each other with short-sheeted beds, saran-wrap on toilets, and telling your trusting children that it's a snow day (I'm looking at you, Dad), the French are busy with another equally exciting tradition today: fishing each other. Although I myself have never been fished, I hear it requires the utmost skill and the result is utterly hilarious: children (and perhaps adults?) attempt to stick cut-outs of fish on each others' backs. And they're completely confused why anyone would go further than that when it comes to mischief-making on the first of April.
