Now, most people do not enjoy being fooled. Being the victim of April Fools' Day trickery makes you look and feel foolish. Thus, we here at the Rinse and Lather Blog have come up with various techniques to prevent you from being fooled, both today and on forthcoming April Fools' occasions.
First and foremost, be careful of your surroundings at all times. Watch out for people who may have put toothpaste in the inside of your shoes! Check your pillows for baking soda! Also watch out for any "kick me" signs that may have been taped to your back. While you're at it, watch for any "kick me" signs that may have been taped to your car. (Although, with the way that South Floridians drive, your car is just as likely to suffer damage whether or not you have a "kick me" sign attached to it.)
When you go to use the bathroom, be certain to watch for any plastic wrap that may have been wrapped around the toilet seat in such a manner that it may prevent any wastes from properly entering the toilet. (For those of you who are visual learners, we have an image of this below.)

As a precaution, keep all razors, scissors, glue, sticky notes, and any other office supplies or materials that can be used to play tricks on you locked away in an undisclosed location until April 2nd. These materials are the building blocks for bigger pranks, and thus are a threat to your well-being for the day. Try to keep your phone out of reach of anyone, and keep your communication to a minimum. When you do communicate, be skeptical of everything everyone says. Trust no one. Except us. You can trust us. We are two, highly untrained, non-professionals. Nothing to worry about here!
You know what? While you're at it, you might as well stay home today. No one can fool you if you don't interact with anyone! Do you live with other people? No big deal! Just run away from home for a day! No one will miss you! Besides, you'll be back tomorrow!
Oh, and most importantly: DO NOT use the internet. The World Wide Web is the #1 source of media for tricks on April Fools' Day. Don't believe anything that you see/read on the internet on April 1st. That includes Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. That includes blogs that are run by two gentlemen who publicly post advice on topics such as "Getting Through the Workweek" and "How Not to be Fooled on April Fools'" under the guise of helping you rid yourself of 99.9% of bacteria by rinsing and lathering. Don't listen to anything any of those people say. You don't want to be fooled, do you!?
Addendum: By "fool" I mean 'a foolish person,' or 'one who is fooled.' I do not mean the popular Egyptian dish consisting of cooked fava beans. (Depicted below).
