14、过程中, 一些因循守旧的人反对这种改革仍沿袭旧历, 拒绝更新。他们依旧在4月1日这天互赠礼物, 组织庆祝新年的活动。主张改革的人对这些守旧者的做法大加嘲弄。聪明滑稽的人在4月1日这天给顽固派赠送假礼物, 邀请他们参加假庆祝会, 并把这些受愚弄的人称为“四月傻瓜”或“上钩之鱼”。以后, 他们在这天互相愚弄, 日久天长便成为法国流行的一种风俗。该节在十八世纪流传到英国, 后来又被英国早期移民带到了美国。起初, 任何美国人都可以炮制骇人听闻的消息, 而且不负丝毫的道德和法律责任, 政府和司法部门也不会追究。相反, 谁编造的谎言最离奇、最能骗取人们相信, 谁还会荣膺桂冠。这种做法给社会带来不少混乱, 因而引起人们的不满。现在, 节日期间的愚弄欺骗已不再像过去那样离谱, 而是以轻松欢乐为目的。愚人节这天玩笑只能开到中午12点之前, 这是约定俗成的严格规矩。过了中午还找乐子的人是一个比被他取笑的人还大的傻瓜。过了钟点还开玩笑的人会立刻碰钉子, 自找没趣儿。有一首小诗是这样描述的: 愚人节已过十二点, 你这个大傻瓜来得晚。待到来年愚人节, 你将是最大个的大笨蛋。
