Sigh...I guess because of the extreme sensativity of others we are now going to have to outlaw extremely mild practical jokes. Not my world...

Could be, could be.

There was a story about Clintonista George Stephanopoulos. In college, his buddies had his number. Steffi phones in a pizza order for a boys-night-in, and one of them sneaks off, calls the joint, and changes the order.

When the pizzas' delivered and paid for, Steffi goes nuts for 1.) not getting what he "ordered", and 2.) for getting grief from his homies for not being able to place a simple pizza order.

Some people are just more tightly wound than others. Obviously, Stephanopoulos got over his inability to function in a disjoint reality, working for Dems, Clinton, and the LSM.

what may seem funny to you may not be funny to others. I am NOT for any form of censorship, I just wish people would think about how their actions could affect others. I do not believe that is too much to ask of anyone. This was done in an effort to receive notoriety, did they not consider for ONE moment about the person who would end up being the butt of their mild practical joke?

Outlaw them? No. But I have to admit that I agree with Heinlein on this matter.

"A 'practical joker' deserves applause for his wit according to its quality. Bastinado is about right. For exceptional wit one might grant keelhauling. But staking him out on an anthill should be reserved for the very wittiest."

Practical jokers should not be received in polite society.
