About This Quote

Everyone loves a practical joke. Whether it’s a good one or a bad one, we all love it. When you pull one off and an unsuspecting person gets caught, it’s almost impossible to resist the urge to laugh and share the joke. However, the trouble with practical jokes is that they can often get elected.

When you start to realize that things only seem funny when someone else is getting hurt, you start to think twice about what you’re doing. It’s true that if everyone was laughing at the person who got caught in your practical joke, it probably wouldn’t be as funny. But if people could see the hurt on your face as you watch them suffer, they would probably feel bad for laughing at someone else.
