Blogging Ottinger (tim)Prank Guidelines
When I was working with the youth group at Avon, I had these rules for pranking, and I guess it’s a good time to offer them to youth workers, pastors, and all those who have the task of reigning in the madness:
1) No property damage (nobody should have to pay for your fun)
2) No personal injury (nobody should be hurt)
3) No humiliation (nobody should feel hated or inferior).
I think that any pranking within these guidelines should be acceptable. Well, with perhaps one rider:
4) No staying up past curfew to pull pranks; get up early in the morning instead.
Now we have a perfect set of pranking guidelines, I think. Or close enough for me.
