Sounds like abalone fools joke!
I searched Google for "Abalone fools day meaning" and all it returned was
"April
fools" references. The whole concept of AI has destroyed search in my
personal opinion. "Abalone fools day" reference is a reference to the
fact that Abalone season opened on April 1 and divers would travel the
long distance from Sacramento to the ocean only to fatigue themselves
and often drown. I was a former abalone diver.
