    My greatest success ever with this trick was a kid at school leaning heavily against a wall in an effort to look cool and nonchalant. Tapped him on the shoulder that was touching the wall. He looked so hard he gave himself a massive lump. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was mildly concussed.

    I knew in that moment my life had peaked.

      White humor peaked in the 80s when you would point at someone’s shirt and say you got something there and they look down and BAM, you just swiped their nose with your finger. Gottem

    "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is ‘Never get involved in a land war in Asia,’ but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.”

    Used to work with a kids who was 100% deaf from birth. He thought this was the funniest thing ever. Guarantee he was doing it to at least one person anywhere he showed up, and if you did it to him he would have the biggest smile and show of “you got me”

    A buddy of mine did this to me a lot back in middle school & high school. I always fell for it, literally every time for 6 years. One time he did it while I was walking next to the lockers, and I turned so quickly I ran into them.
