How much, often and how do you like to poke fun at your friends, neighbors, relatives, pets, strangers, local politicians and laywers? I think I end up saying a lot of things that piss them off.

One time I compressed an ice cube onto my dog's balls while he was sleeping. *tee hee!* :approve: I win! I win! o:)

My friends tend to rag on each other alot. They'll just start talking **** out of the blue for no reason what so ever. Personally I will usually only make comments if something particularly witty occurs to me or someone is just asking for it.

I didn't think about this earlier. I have one friend in particular that is quite sadistic. He often tells "your mom" jokes and then ofcourse there are always those people that come back with more "your mom" jokes.
So someone says "Yeah I did your mom last night."
James (my friend) says "Oh really? So how was that? Must have been a lot of hard work digging up her grave and all. Did you need a lot of lube?" and so on the whole time looking and sounding like he's angry.
Then the person looks around and hopes someone will tell him that James' mom really isn't dead but no she really is. Eventually when the person has squirmed enough for James' liking he tells them it's cool and he's not really mad. The guy seriously does it because he thinks it's funny to watch them squirm and get uncomfortable.

Not a single one of my friends has a mom I would even remotely have any sexual interest in. To do one of these women would be an insult to me. I'm sure the ladies are just loving this thread, by the way.

I had a friend whose mom was actually incredibly attractive. He would always get really mad if any of us said anything about it... so we talked about it all the time.

I have a friend whose mother's bedroom was red, with red velvet stuff on the walls, red curtains, red carpet, red satin sheets... even a red telephone!

Over the thrity years that we've been friends I've never said a thing. :biggrin:

Okay, as for the OP. I have family in Highland Illinois. They are salt of the Earth types who work hard, go to church every week, and are absolutely not inclined to show any interest in subjects such as UFOs. Now, none of them know about my interest in UFOs, but since I do follow the subject closely, when visiting for a family reunion a few years ago I was well equipped to tease my extremely red-neck cousins about the UFOs their police deparments had been chasing all over the country side. Since I know the details of the event so well I was able to show absolutely no mercy. When my one cousin started to raise his voice - "well by God they're seeing something! - I decided to back off. He's the kind of guy that would take a swing at you if tormented enough. :smile: :smile: :smile:

After all of these years of catching attitude about California, that sure was fun.

Wow! How long and when did he live there? How old is he?

You know, for a small town Highland has a very productive history. There are several companies that set the standard for various products including one invented by my family - cherry cola. Also, I forget the name, but there is a transformer company there that has been around for about a hundred years. They are also somewhat famous in their own right.

Nope, never saw a dime. I don't know the whole story but I think the patent expired before it got real big. It was made and sold for decades and I remember visiting the bottling plant as a kid, but AFAIK it was only sold in a few states. However, it is apparently true that a great uncle [maybe even another great in there] invented the drink and owned the rights.

That totally made me think of Stiffler and "Stiffler's Mom" from American Pie.
