I gotta disagree with you here. I know You don't mean, "probably should have", cause that's just dumb and you're a smart, wise, rational old fella, based off of your posts. As far as the attitude behind the post, I agree that the choking one is stupid but calling a dork, acting like a zombie, a shitthead, to me, is a reflection on your grouchiness today. Perhaps you're just a grouchy old man but I doubt it. I know I can be a grouchy little bastard when I'm in a bad mood, but overall, I'm a jolly lad. I think the zombie thing is all in fun and don't see how it can hurt anyone, without being extremely hypothetical. "Someone may have a heart attack!" If I'm wrong about you, that you're mostly playing around, you'd hate me. I'm a bit of a prankster but I know there's a line you shouldn't cross. The choking guys crossed it, the zombie guy, NO WAY!
Basically, I was just trying to point out the "folly" of these kinds of pranks. Many here have already noted the fact that what would those guys have done if someone HAD drawn down on them? Pranks can be fun and silly, but when someone takes them the "wrong way" or there is some other extenuating circumstance that has put them into a different mental state than they usually are, people can get hurt, or worse, killed. A coworker had just found out his wife of 30 years was divorcing him. He was distraught, to say the least. Other coworkers decided to pull a prank on him, thinking that they could pull him out of his "funk," but it went sideways and one of them got punched in the face. Maybe not germane to this post but it shows how pranks can go wrong.
As for my comments, I'm a sarcastic old bastard and, unfortunately, sarcasm doesn't come across too well with typed words.
Maybe a sarcasm on/sarcasm off tag ([sarcasm] [/sarcasm]) is needed on bulletin boards......
