April Fools' Day has arrived and again it is time to start questioning everything around you.
And trying to work out what is and what isn't an April Fools' joke is more difficult this year than most.
Who would have really thought a year ago that Theresa May would have endured three of the largest parliamentary defeats in British history and still be staggering on as prime minister?
Or that El Chapo, the Mexican drug's kingpin convicted of murder conspiracy, drug trafficking, money laundering and firearms possession in February would launch a fashion line from prison?
With the UK in chaos it is important to know what is a real life news story and what's going to lead to some blushes when sincerely posted onto social media.
Below are some of our favourites so far and you can also follow our live blog to see the latest.
April Fools' jokes banned amid fear of panic buying over Brexit
Mum asks son for refund on his wedding after discovering he had a vasectomy
A strong early contender came from The Telegraph with a meta-April Fools' contribution.
Nodding towards the shambolic ongoing Brexit talks, the paper wrote that the annual prank day had been cancelled for fear it would merge too seamlessly with reality.
"The statute from 1653 states that the issuing of false reports is strictly prohibited and punishable by the splitting of an offender’s ribs," the paper writes.
"Officials in the Cabinet Office have taken the unusual step of asking media outlets to refrain from publishing the traditional stories on April 1 in case they trigger panic buying or spark riots.
"The original statute was imposed by Oliver Cromwell when he became convinced that the public's mocking of his warts was undermining attempts to crush royalists after the civil war."
Eurovision SHOCK as Britain will LEAVE song contest after Brexit
Britain's 30 favourite beef dishes revealed - see if yours makes the list
The news that all Euro-Pop fans had secretly been dreading - The Express confirmed that Britain's days in the continent wide music competition were numbered.
In a further attempt to force the country into staying in the EU, the paper writes, GB would be ejected from Eurovision if it chooses Brexit .
"Britain’s Eurovision efforts have long been enjoyed across the continent and the nations has likewise enjoyed scrupulously fair adjudication at the hands of the Eurovision judges," The Express's curiously named reporter Flora Olip writes.
"Vaya Mentira, chief executive of LIES, said: 'It has with a heavy heart that we have decided Britain should no longer compete in Eurovision.
"'It wouldn’t be fair on the other countries that Britain is still able to compete despite leaving the EU.'"
Give the dog a drone for walkies
Mum asks son for refund on his wedding after discovering he had a vasectomy
Sometimes life is so busy it is hard to find a spare half an hour to take the dog for a walk.
This is no longer a problem thanks to the Drone Dog Walker, a medium-sized quadcopter that guides your canine companion on a light stroll when you can't.
"An advance version can freeze dry any messes left by the dog, pop them into a plastic bag and then dispose of them," The Times reported.
"Trials were not without mishap. One early model scooped up the dog, placed it in the plastic bag and dropped it into the nearest bin."
Royal Mint release coin collection based on emojis complete with 50p poop piece
Fresh off the back of the adorable Beatrice Potter 50p pieces that had collectors frantically breaking twenties, the Royal Mint has released six new coins.
As well as a peach, a heart, a flame, an aubergine and a crying with laughter smiley, a smiley poo emoji is embossed on the new seven-sided coins.
Coin expert Penny Silver told The Sun: “What with Brexit, Royal Mint must have decided everyone could use some light relief.
“Emojis are a great way to communicate and express ourselves, so it makes sense to mark this with a coin collection.”
Stripe-removal service as tops banned by Brexit
'Savage' rapist jailed after shattering woman's skull and leaving her for dead
Another paper tapping into our collective Brexit anxiety was The Plymouth Herald which reported that French looking tops would be banned.
A design classic associated with jaunty sailors on the continent, the French withdrew permission from British retailers copying the design the paper claims.
"Anyone owning a Breton top will now need to apply for a special EU shirt license to wear one," the Herald reported.
"As new rules come into force today, any stripe-wearing Brit found flouting the rules could face a €1000 fine or even a stretch in prison."
Boden, the company best associated with the style, is offering a stripe removal service for those not wanting to invest in a new top.
NHS launches FREE BEER prescriptions for run-down Brits
The news we had all been waiting for came from The Daily Star which announced that doctors would soon be prescribing free beer.
Prescriptions for pints of stout will be issued to patients who can convince their local GP they are suffering from anaemia, insomnia, or tiredness, Michael Moran reported.
In response to the new legislation, Conservative MP for Lichfield and Lord Commissioner of the Treasury Michael Fabricant told the Daily Star: “They used to say 'Guinness is Good for You'. I’m told that nowadays the NHS will not supply it in a pint glass but as an intravenous drip.”
