Do you like to pull (or have pulled on you) practical jokes?

I don't really pull practical jokes because i can never think of any good ones, but i don't mind them being pulled on me as long as they're funny and not mean.

I'm not particularly fond of practical jokes since elements of ridicule and cruelty are always involved. I am guilty of malicious verbal quips and other forms of word play.

I don't mind a joke played at my expense as long as it isn't mean-spirited. I used to play a fair amount of practical jokes, but not any more.

Depends on whether they're annoying or funny.

Not really, unless my grandchildren pull them.

Not really...I think they are kind of lame.

No, I don't have a good sense of humor. I wish I did though. I take everything too seriously.

NO I DON'T LIKE TO PULL PRACTICAL JOKES NOR DO I LIKE THEM PULLED ON ME.

I'm not much into practical jokes but I do however enjoy a good fright. Like a friend jumping from behind a bush or haunted house. That's nice.

I like a good practical joke. When I was younger, I enjoyed coming up with a practical joke at the office once in a while. It kinda got people motivated in a way. Oh and I've had my share of pranks pulled on me as well....I always take it in stride. I figure if you can't take it, don't dish it out.

I rarely have practical jokes played on me and then usually by my siblings. I do participate a bit in office pranks which usually revolve around trying to spread outrageous misinformation.

No. As a friend of mine would say "That's not my bag."

Not really. Sometimes if I am in a good mood I will find a practical joke pulled on me to be funny.  Usually, however, they just rile me up. I guess I have no sense of humor. :P

I think practical jokes are immature and i would hate to have one pulled on me.

I generally don't do practical jokes. When I was little I owned a whoopie cushion, but that is as far as I ever got.

I've never pulled a practical joke on anyone, but I've made some great prank  phone calls in the past.

I HATE it... I have a good sense of humor, but I find that most "practical jokes" are mean-spirited. I don't enjoy giving or receiving them

No

It depends on my mood. Practical joking is an art form that's hard to keep inside its very fine lines. I would only play one on a good friend, and only if the opportunity presents itself. It's not something I'd go out of my way to do.

nope, not even slightly. .

I hate jokes that are the expense of other people.
