cliaz Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) Where I work really does suck balls but one thing we have is insanely good sense of humor. No matter whom it is, joke and practical jokes are always funny. So I have this one co-worker that is from the Philippians and he is the greatest clown of all of us. My manager that you all know I loath is a Vietnam vet and not one of those that have flash back as and shell shocked either; one thing he is cool about is talking about his time over there. Let me pauses and tell you about this guy for a second so you will be able to appreciate the balls of this joke. My manager was in the Navy seals, he is one of those real biker kind of guys, not the weekend Harley owners, no. He is one of the officers of a chapter of some group called “something sons”. A bunch of mean looking bikers too, looks like a ZZtop reunion, ya know. Anyways, I’ve seen this guy take a piece of paper, fold it in half and break a pencil with it. No kidding. He told me he could do it and I bet him lunch for a week he couldn’t. Like I hate him but I wouldn’t want to fight him. Anyways, we have a bet with the jokester here at work. If the Seahawks win by 10 he has to come to work in a pair of black pajamas and a big straw hat and hide out in my manager’s office with some sand bags and jump out at him. Believe me, if this happens pictures and video will be taken and posted. NOTE: I am not in anyways trivializing Vietnam vets or anything like that. I just think it’s going to be funny to see a 115lb Asian man jump out at a Vietnam vet around 7am in the morning dressed like Charlie.

rhippens Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 cliaz, my father was a vietnam vet. it messed with the minds of those men in very cruel ways. i would advise your co-workers to put this one to bed. there's no humor in it and you don't know for sure what the reaction will be. i think it's pretty safe to say that if none of your co-workers experienced the vietnam war firsthand, you probably have no right to joke about it. this is not anything against you, because maybe this guy really does have a great sense of humor, i just think this is a topic not many who were over there will ever joke about. just my thoughts.

cliaz Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 oh I understand everyones views and opinions on this. But one thing about here at work, all of our sense of humor are about the same. My manager and the jokerster are always poking at each other over stuff like this. You'd have to know them to understand. sorry if this offended any of you but it's the tailgate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhippens Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 i'm not offended and like i said, it's your call because you know the guys you work with better than anyone. i have just never seen a vet joke about that war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 A Navy Seal (current or former) will have instinctive responses to certain stimuli. I would highly recommend you do not follow through on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Why would I be offended? I think it is in poor taste and asking for somebody to get hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Nope, I disagree. I think it'll be funny as hell and it will be taken that way by the participant and recipient. Too often in this society we try and tell others what they should think is funny. Lighten up already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran by this by him & his response was "that is a very bad idea". Although he did laugh, he said the little asian dude was gonna end up with a pen stuck in his forehead. Maybe go with the pajamas etc, but I think I'd pass at the jumping out & scaring him thing. Edited January 26, 2006 by rajncajn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 sorry if this offended any of you 1289267[/snapback] I'm not offended... but.... A Navy Seal (current or former) will have instinctive responses to certain stimuli. I would highly recommend you do not follow through on this. 1289273[/snapback] What are you going to do if someone gets seriously f'd up? Still laugh? That's what your thread title implies. A joke is a joke.... placing someone in jeopardy is not. Listen to Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 One of my best buddies is an ex-Navy Seal. He's one of the nicest guys you could ever meet (even though he's a friggin' Republican) but he's a trained killer and even though he's over 50, he could do it again in a heartbeat. This is one of the most unwise pranks I've ever heard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 How 'bout just hiring an Asian hooker to offer him up a me sucky long time for tree dollas and see if he takes her up or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Linguist Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 This sounds like a really bad idea. He could take a manilla folder and break both of your guys legs with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big F'n Dave Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Do you cats really think that this former Navy SEAL is so conditioned (in this case after 30 some-odd years) that he'll kill this guy before he realizes what he's doing? Tell me the truth, cliaz: Do you work for Chuck Norris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighten up already. 1289275[/snapback] Kid... maybe you have and maybe you haven't (I think you haven't) come up against a former special forces type but you need to know that the jumping out guy is going to be in a serious world of hurt if that Seal can't delay his reflexes and instinct. I agree with you that too often people tell other people how to live.... but there are certain situations where caution needs to be stated. That jumper best be clear across the room when he pops up... if he is real close the result is not going to be good. Can't lighten up on this without giving a disclaimer to Cliaz.
