I get really annoyed when people justify playing a trick on me by saying, “Oh come on, man, it was just a practical joke.” I don’t exactly see how it was “practical” to soak me with a bucket of water. In reality the term “practical joke” is meant to convey that the joke involves some sort of physical action, but the way people say it implies pragmatism. Meanwhile playing a trick on somebody is completely fucking frivolous. If you really want to be practical why don’t you stop wasting my time with your cruel tricks.
