Some years ago, for example, a famous joke was played on the radio. A scientific correspondent reported that strange geological changes had resulted in weaker gravity in different parts of Britain. He asked listeners to jump up and down and see if they could jump higher than they normally could. Many people did. The hundreds of calls the BBC received proved how successful the hoax was. Not until 12 o'clock did the BBC gently remind its listeners it was April Fools' Day that day. Making jokes only lasts until the noon of the day, the rule is rigid and everywhere acknowledged.
例如，幾年前之聲跟聽眾開了個(gè)大玩笑。一位報(bào)導(dǎo)科學(xué)新聞的記者說，由于奇怪的地質(zhì)變化，英國各地區(qū)的重力減小了。這位記者讓聽眾上下跳跳，看是不是比平常跳得高一些。許多人都照著做了。當(dāng)成百上千的電話打到英國廣播公司時(shí)，證明這場騙局成功了。直到中午12點(diǎn)時(shí)，英國廣播公司才和藹地提醒聽眾那一天是"愚人節(jié)"。但愚人節(jié)這天開玩笑只能開到中午12點(diǎn)之前。這是約定俗成的嚴(yán)格規(guī)矩。
