More News That Sounds Like A Joke

First came the wedgie. Then there were Indian Burns. Back when I was in middle school, the "funny" thing for kids to do was giving each other purple nurples. But times have changed. Now kids are into 'Sack Tapping'. It's the latest fad in schoolyard violence... a boy will try to slap or flick the groin of another boy to inflict discomfort or pain. Unfortunately, this game can cause serious, permanent injury. Dr. Scott Wheeler, a pediatric urologist in Minnesota, says he is seeing more instances of young boys coming in with major damage to the testicles because of a "tap" that hit too hard. The trauma sustained by sack tapping can be severe enough to rupture a testicle, an injury that can require surgery or even the amputation of the testicle. I don't know about you guys, but this doesn't sound like fun to me.

3 Pranks with at least 2 injuries

I wanted to find a few of these short pranks to put together. Again, I am not sure why people getting punched is funny (because it's not us?), but only two of the three involve physical violence.



I have a friend who does this at Halloween!! (The disguise, not the attack.)



Ouch!!



I think it's a dead body!

Which makes you laugh the most?

Those Crazy Japanese Mobs

I feel sorry for the guys these mobs prank, but it is funny. The first three pranks are similar, but the last one is the bast.



Do you think someone would get arrested if a mob did this in your town?

Early Slapstick and Boxing Cats

The more of these early Edison clips I see, the more convinced I become that the great inventor was a prankster nerd.

Deluxe Hugs

Why give your hugs away for free when you can charge people for "deluxe" hugs. It looks like it could be a good way to make some extra money.

Beware of pranksters with stuffed skunks on sticks.
