There are six OTS questions today that span over the past six years. I'm not sure if that is supposed to be an April Fool's deal or not. I suppose the joke shouldn't confuse.

Some jokes do not seem to have "practicality".I have heard jokes that leave me practically laughing and some that have left me practically screaming and some jokes that have left me practically crying.

Depends on what the motive of what you are doing the prank or practical joke is to accomplish.I do not think practical jokes are that bad, but some people are hurtful and do not understand the consequences of their actions anyway.There is nothing wrong with making someone laugh a little, but I have seen things that border more on Fraternity Hazing incidents that can put the person in real danger... and I always wondered what the real motive of the people was.I am sure I saw something happen to someone that was surrounded by some people that he thought were his friends and I thought it was a practical joke at first, but then realized the intentions for the individual were not good at all.

A good joke is just that, a joke. No harm should come to anyone. Let's here more of your best, this could be a high points day.

coolmarv (Anonymous) says: Nobody likes pranks and practical jokes. Nobody. The other pranksters/jokers hurt you, sometimes very badly. First you do pranks and practical jokes because your father wants you to. Then you do the pranks and practical jokes to get the girls. If you keep on doing the pranks and practical jokes , you do it for scholarships, and to get the girls. Then you do the pranks and practical jokes for the money and the girls. Then you get to just watch the pranks and practical jokes, and that's fun. But nobody likes to do the pranks and practical jokes. Nobody.

Yes. One year I wrote this very serious email about "I'm thinking we ought to go ahead and get married, we've known each other so long, etc". I sent it to around 7 of my male friends. One I had been seeing recently, most of the others were previous relationships that I'm still close to. Of course, the date was on the email info, it even said up at the top in my typing, April 01,XXXX. I believe it ended up with the question, "So, what do you think? I'll understand if you need time to think about this. Love, Me"
Well, a few wrote right back laughing, telling me how great that was, etc. A few more shot back things like the following,"WHEN??WHERE??? Do we elope or a big wedding? When can I pick you up?" All jolly good fun.
But then, of course, you know, this one man, didn't write back for hours. He wrote back that he really didn't know what to say. He thought we should talk about this more, as he wasn't quite sure we were at that point in the relationship, etc. etc."
I talked to him later, and he said he was sweating bullets when he first read that, and had been very upset for hours about how to handle it. He did know it was the 1st, but I sounded so serious he was afraid I wasn't joking at all.
I didn't feel too guilty, after all I had (I can't type now, I'm laughing so hard at the memory) put the date at the top!
