年轻的时候很喜欢整人，记得初中时在愚人节管班主任借钱，因为在老师眼里我是一个勤奋好学的好学生，所以他很不幸的被我骗了50元，呵呵，不知道他是否对人面兽心这个词有了深刻的认识。高中的时候，我和班里几个比较喜欢恶搞的家伙一起整那个刚毕业的语文老师。第一次是骗她留在教室，然后送她一份礼物——一个包裹了N层的豆子，还有一次，我们集体写了一封情书放在她家信箱，呵呵，当时她刚结婚不久，不过她丈夫很快就识破了我们的诡计：P
大学阶段大家似乎对恶作剧不再感兴趣了。只是记得有一次愚人节，我们宿舍的jms碰巧一起讨论爱情问题，轮到我时，我讲了一个男生几年来对我做过的很友情但也很暧昧的事情，大家听完后都表现出了极其强烈的八卦的欲望，于是，我及时打住“别当真啊，April Fool's Day”。呵呵，这是唯一一次明明没有骗人，却不得不承认骗人。后来，我因为一些事情被jms称做小白（就是小白痴的意思），从此，这个节就成了我的专署节日，每到31日晚12点，我下铺的“兄弟”就会来一句“小白，节日快乐！”
昨天去实验室，发现桌子上多了一大瓶黄水仙，现在才知道，原来黄水仙是愚人节的象征。
下面是愚人节的来历，恩，做了这么多年愚人，还真不知道自己的节日是怎么来的：）
Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn't a "first April Fool's Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring.
The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25. The celebration culminated on April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January 1.
However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.
This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fool's Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.
In Scotland, for example, April Fool's Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.
Mexico's counterpart of April Fool's Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.
Pranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"
Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fool's Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.
April Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!
