April is the month for “fooling” around, and has been such since the seventeenth century. The French call it “poisson d’Avril” or “April Fish” for the poor victim of the joke. Here are a couple of tricky ones for all you April Fish.
For a pizza (with anchovies?): If today is Monday April 9, what is the day after the day before the day before tomorrow, plus one day?
For no pizza or fish or anything else: Why do you call your ex-spouse’s former daughter-in-law’s first husband’s daughter, “Sally”?
