Can you not imagine a blustering pompous self obsessed personality believing they have a lottery win and toddling off to the local newsagents. No harm done and instant hilarity.


I wonder who you are thinking of?

Oh I wish.......

In this case I think Bens remarks childish and facile probably meant to goad rather than to add anything meaningful to the topic. Eh Ben?

Heaven help someone smashing into a thread ben thinks worthy of thought out responses with the same sort of remarks! Lordy no!

Lost in confusion as too why here icon_confused.gif

You have me quite wrong on this one Lost.

Doing it to a meek retiring self effacing individual living in povrty is cruel and sadistic and not terribly funny.

Doing it to an individual such as I described is cruel and sadistic and very funny.

On that basis I wouldnt do it to the first category but I confess I would be tempted to do it to the latter although I dont do practical jokes very often simply becasue of the cruelty aspect.

On another thread we had a discussion about practical jokes to play on a nasty boss. Now if I had a boss who was up his own arse and making my life a misery this would be perfect.

trouble is it's always hard to tell.
if it's somebody you know very well and know the family situation off, you might be tempted to do it, but you wouldn't, I guess, because you care abou those people and it's a cruel joke no matter what.

if it's somebody you despise for whatever reason but don't know very well...then..well, it's too easy for such a joke to go horribly wrong.
even the most stuck up arse might have problems they don't share with you or anyone else.. a sick relative who needs costly care, troubles on the job, health issues they keep shtum about.. a wad of money might bring their hopes of solving part of these issues up..
only to be crushed when the game is up.
I'm not saying everybody who is an arse is so because he has problems at home, or that people can't just be mean, I know people who are... I just don't presume to know people that well to want to judge them or put such a potentially "cruel" prank in existence.
for that reason I choose not to pull such a joke, because on average, the chances of it being misunderstood and actually hurting people are too high.
