I personally love good humor and laughter!

But, never at the expense of scaring someone else, especially when it might trigger a fight or flight type of response. People that you don't even know, and even those who you think that you do, can be very unpredictable when panicked.

Reminds me of road rage. (Don't really have much where I live, but have driven where there was some.) Just plain stupid.

"Let's push this guy really hard, and then see what happens!" And then they are surprised when it blows up in their face.

Humor = awesome. (Good for the body, mind and soul.) Fight or flight for "fun" = stupid. (Bad for the longevity.)
