All Fools’
In France, the children tape paper fish onto each other’s
backs, then yell “poisson d’avnl!" (April Fish!).
Whatever your tomfoolery on this day, be sure it is of
the harmless variety and not “blind credulity” of the
type the second Duke of Bucki
labeled bigotry. “The world is made uj
of fools or knaves,” he said over thn
centuries ago, “both irreconcilable foi
to truth, the first being slaves to a blim
credulity, which we may properly cal
bigotry ..” Mark Twain had a hgl
notion of April Fools’: “The first of A,
the day we remember what we are
364 days of the year ”
L,et a fool hold his tongue and he will pass
- Pubhlius Syrus
for a sage.
