—3k All Fools Day Nearly everyone has been caught on the receiving end of an 'April Fool’s joke at least once. Young and old alike enjoy playing practical jokes and sending oth ers on foolish errands. It seems the custom has been around forever.

Those first April Fools got caught by the calendar, rather than friends. In France, the person fooled is called a potsson /fa d'ovnl, literally, an April fish.
