The Guardian somewhat spoilt their April fool of this year, at least in their online format, by putting it right next to another piece with the prominent headline "Live - April Fools Day Jokes 2015 - best from around the world". If you're going to do that, why bother?

If somebody squirts water at you out of their buttonhole or balances a jug of water on top of the door just before you enter the room or stretches shrinkwrap across your lavatory or sends you an e-mail claiming that your family have died, you've lost your job and you've got cancer, or whatever it is that constitutes a practical joke - then all other laws of the land are suspended for, say, 10 to 20 seconds after the joke has 'succeeded'.
Whatever happens in that period - assault, GBH, murder, anything - doesn't count. Legally, It doesn't actually happen.
