When Jokes Aren't Funny

I just saw a clip of Ryan Seacrest having pancake mix dumped on him  by that Sasha fellow. Imagine, there he is interviewing people in his, no doubt very expensive tux, and that happens. Ryan kept a smile on his face, though somewhat frozen looking.

When you are the victim of a practical joke, generally the joke is the most fun for the perpetrator. I think too, when people joke about us, there is something mean in that. The joke is centred on some little something they are criticizing and followed by the words, "it's just a joke!" But there is always some truth in it for the jokester or they wouldn't have gone there.

So, I'm just saying, that jokes and pranks can be passive aggressive. Do people really need to go there?

Pic.. This shaved kitty could be the brunt of jokes by his fellow kitties. But he kind of looks like he's saying, "I dare you!"
