16 Foolproof Ideas for Surviving April Fools

We recently sat down with Marielle to ask her how she would survive April Fools’ day. We now really, deeply regret that decision. We also asked her whether she wanted to link the bonus content via the images or underneath them, to which she said yes. So we did both. Happy now, Marielle?

Anyway… Here’s her list which includes everything from deflective shields to loo-roll fortresses. These are surely the only guidelines you'll ever need!

 

1. Take a trip out of the country

As a tourist you can always blame the language

2. Get these super smooth noise cancelling headphones

What you can't hear can't be true, or untrue… We’re confused but
it doesn’t matter because we can’t hear you!

 3. Turn back time

Lose your tattoo of “I’m rubber, you’re glue. Everything stupid bounces
off me, and sticks to you”, giving you total protection from looking stupid

leg day. Your friends will know better than to try to make a fool out of you.
