Poisson d'avril - Why is there a fish on my back?

Tomorrow is April Fools day and in France it is customary to give your friends little chocolate fish or play the classic April Fools Day trick which is to stick a paper fish on someone's back. The unfortunate victim is then taunted with the phrase "Poisson d'Avril", or "April Fish".

Who says the French don't have a sense of humour!
