Best spontaneous prank ever.

I found it funny. Everyone who is saying it isn't needs to get off their moral high-horse and actually laugh at a few things in life.

You know, or perhaps we just don't find made up stories from IRC all that funny, because, y'know they're made up and so lose any element of funny they'd have had if they were true?

Like the Darwin Awards, they're funny but only because they actually happened, if they were all made up, they'd not be funny at all...
 
Stories need to be true in order to be funny.... so jokes or movies aren't funny unless they actually happened?

Edit: misread a post further up. :)

I was coming home from a gig one night at the JCB club and in the front car was my guitarist Paul.
I saw a car pull up behind me and I could tell it was a cop car.
It then overtook me and has it passed the window came down and it was Pauls best mate who was a copper in the passenger seat.
They pulled him over and I pulled over too.
The driver got out but Dave (the copper mate) had already prewarned his colleague that Paul doesn't drink and his car would be sound.
The copper get sPaul out and says "We've had complaints from JCB club that the bald headed one with glasses has smashed items up in the dressing room".
Now Paul was a quiet bloke who said the odd swear word but he went absolutely ballistic.
We was down on his knees, jumping in the air and swearing for England.
I told him to calm down because we'd sort it but the copper insisted on arresting him.
Paul goes off on one again and the copper decides to cuff him.
At this point the copper says "You'll have to talk to my colleague because he knows more about it" and out of the car comes Dave.
You had to be there :D

Two months later Paul got his revenge.
Paul & Dave with girlfriends had been on a narrowboat holiday and decided to dress has pirates.
Paul had taken some brilliant pics of Dave and waited for revenge.
Revenge came in the shape of a police do and Paul was able to get in and put pictures on every table.
Paul also knew that Dave would be one of the last ones to turn up (as usual) so he arrived to a whole party of coppers clapping & cheering.
 
Would it be funnier or at least more excusable if the guy claimed to have hepatitis B?

Either way, its a bit funny if only because it allegedly taught a badly behaved kid and an inept parent a lesson. Ironic that OCUK doesn't find that funny given how much time we spend moaning about chavs and whatnot. Still, it's nice to have some double standards once in a while.

The point is, if I came on here and posted a story about how i'd just been out and thrown a tin of paint on a chavs car and then made him fall in a river when he chased me, it'd maybe be funny when you're under the impression it was true.

If I posted just under it, "by the way, this didn't actually happen, i made it up" it wouldn't really be funny would it?

You're right, the chav/river story would have been quite funny had it been true and not funny if it turned out to be false, but I think it depends on the story.

The OP isn't as funny as it was made up, but I still laughed. Would probably make a half decent joke with some modification.

Anyway, I think I was taking the whole "not true = not funny" thing too literally when I posted. :)
 
I didn't think much of the story but I believe it is posible to catch AIDS at a supermarket. Only the other day I bought some fudge at Sainsburys and the checkout girl asked if I needed any help with the packing.
