今日は4月1日で、四月馬鹿である。年中馬鹿な人間はこの日はどうなるかと言えば、馬鹿のままだ。
で、馬鹿にちなんで、「フールスキャップ」の豆知識。
昔の推理小説にはしばしば「フールスキャップ版の紙」がどうこうという文が出てきたが、それがどういう大きさのものか、今の時代は簡単に調べられて便利だ。
道化師帽をかぶった人間は、何だか悪魔に似ている。映画でピエロが怪物的な存在として描かれるのは、そこに遠因がありそうだ。

April Fools Lyrics
In an April dream
Once you came to me!
When you smiled I looked into your eyes
And I knew I'd be loving you –
And then you touched my hand
And I learned April dreams can come true!
Oh, are we just April fools –
Who can't see all the danger around us?
If we're just April fools
I don't care, true love has found us now!
Little did we know
Where the road would lead –
Here we are a million miles away from the past
Travelin' so fast now
There's no turning back
If our sweet April dream doesn't last!
Are we just April fools –
Who can't see all the danger around us?
If we're just April fools
I don't care, we'll find our way somehow –
No need to be afraid
True love has found us now!
Once you came to me!
When you smiled I looked into your eyes
And I knew I'd be loving you –
And then you touched my hand
And I learned April dreams can come true!
Oh, are we just April fools –
Who can't see all the danger around us?
If we're just April fools
I don't care, true love has found us now!
Little did we know
Where the road would lead –
Here we are a million miles away from the past
Travelin' so fast now
There's no turning back
If our sweet April dream doesn't last!
Are we just April fools –
Who can't see all the danger around us?
If we're just April fools
I don't care, we'll find our way somehow –
No need to be afraid
True love has found us now!
