So, I think it is safe to say that if you are deathly afraid of clowns, like a few people I know, this is certainly not going to help things in any way, shape, or form.
There is a new video making its way around the internet the shows a creepy killer clown making his way around the city brutally “murdering” people in front of seemingly innocent bystanders.
In the video, the clown, complete with circus-like oversized mallet and everything, is hiding behind a wall in a parking garage. When two men come walking down the stairs, they see what looks like a body lying on the ground. As they make their way around the corner, they see the clown standing there brandishing his weapon and looking at them menacingly.
Just like that, he swings his mallet and the “man’s” head is crushed, sending fake blood spattering everywhere. As the two men scream in horror, the clown proceeds to pick up his mallet and chase them through the garage.
Now, you may ask how these people get away with these types of pranks. Sometimes, they actually don’t. If you take a closer look at one of the scenes that happens later in the prank video, the clown creeps up on someone parked at a pump at a gas station and begins pouring what is meant to look like gasoline all around the man’s car. Suddenly, the man heads back to his vehicle and pulls out what looks to be a weapon of his own.

“Why would beating you be the right thing to do?”
That was intended to be ironic. It was the exact opposite of the right thing. I found out many years later that his mother had been sold into slavery in Sweden after her mother died. This would have been in the 1890’s. She lived in a farmer’s barn and took care of the animals. By all accounts she was a thoroughly unpleasant woman. Having had no family relationships she raised my dad in what could only be described as a peculiar way. That sort of abuse echoes down the years. I was in my fifties before I had adapted to what should be normal.
Wrong. Your dad did not do the right thing by beating you, which may explain why you seem to have no sense of humor.
There is no doubt jokes can go to far, but it is OK to have fun once and a while. In the words of the great Sergeant Hulka - “Lighten up Francis”.
The wet sneezer never got the hint to just shut the hell up. Everytime the guy would get some distance between them, the tall overweight nerdy guy would add yet another fake apology or explanation, knowing the other guy was too upset to listen. Maybe the prankster thought since he was much taller and heavier that the ‘target’ he, the prankster was in no trouble. I’ve met some little guys and petite gals who were very capable of destructive, furious behavior.
“Wrong. Your dad did not do the right thing by beating you, which may explain why you seem to have no sense of humor.”
I was being ironic. When you play a joke on somebody you lose their sense of trust. So, it is never okay to play a joke on somebody. As for humor, I’ve actually won awards for my humor writing. Here are six of my humor novels.
Note to copycats that this prank wont turn out too well in any state with open or concealed carry.
Yes, I saw your previous post after I had posted. It wasn’t clear in you first post that you were being ironic/sarcastic. Although, I do think it is ok to play jokes occasionally, one has to know when they are crossing the line. Your dad obviously had deep hurts and unfortunately took those out on you, ruining your relationship.
I believe there is silly and then outright stupid and mean.
“I believe there is silly and then outright stupid and mean.”
I believe the difference is: if the joke relies on the victim trusting you, it has crossed the line into betrayal. I’m known for telling jokes and making people laugh. I never “play” jokes. Ever.
A woman is standing on a bridge. A homeless man walks up and says, “Pardon me. I can see you’re getting ready to commit suicide. Would you mind having sex with me first?”
The woman says, “Hell no!” He answers, “That’s okay. I’ll go wait for you below.”
I can see my Dobes having a party with his rump roasts.
C'mon everybody, we are not supposed to be so gullible.
John Wayne Gacey was enough to convince me to never trust a clown...
