One of my mates has 'staged' a suicide for when his flat mate gets home

[Nameless]

I like it, but then I do have a very morbid and twisted sense of humour. I love things where you can just shock people and watch their faces while they are in the process of being shocked. Cracks me up. But don't do it around Nameless! Mind you I would also find it funny to see someone punched so hard in the stomach that they actually shit their pants.

You know, I am pretty much open minded to playing tricks, every time I get caught it's a good laugh with no grudges. But faking somebody's dead to me is a bit across the line, maybe I am not seriously funny enough but death and health are 2 of the few things that I think we should not make fun about (and by health, I mean joke like pretending you're terminally ill for example).

Nah, I'm just kidding with you a bit there. I don't actually practice any jokes on anybody, but could see the funny side in this one. If it was done on me I would be pissed off for all of 30 seconds and then see the funny side. A joke is just that, this one isn't particularly smart nor witty, but it is well set up and does have that shock value.

hehe, no worries, I didn't take it bad at all, I am not too susceptible I admit that I wouldn't find it funny though, I forgive the other person but I would definitely fail in seeing the fun in there. I would get close to a stroke though and a few seconds away from a sudden death probably.
