Franco-Fools' Day
I'd never heard of this before, but apparently April Fools' Day is a French creation. The French connection to April Fools' Day is no joke. It all started in 1564, when King Charles IX of France adopted the Gregorian calendar, thereby switching the New Year's Day to Jan. 1. Its a long story, I won't quote it all here.
Anyhow, Buck Wolf makes a very modest suggestion Let's just give the French proper billing and send a message to gay Paree. From now on, let April 1 be known as "Franco-Fools' Day."
