[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1337061, member: 100"] Geez... Lighten up Grandma... It's not like anyone's putting gunpowder in someones cigarettes, wiring a capacitor to the toilet seat, CS powder in the defrost vents, CS powder in the vacuum used for the BN HQ conference room, M117 flash simulators in baggies, affixed inside a porta john tank with pull string hidden outside (Harder than it sounds), dipping M117 flash simulators in glue, roll in BBs and rigging high in trees with drop line trip wires, dead skunk in a rucksack, live racoons in the squad leader's room, special water, tossing a handful of blanks in the fire (gets you a front row spot on cold rainy nights)... Those are practical jokes that I and countless other GIs have participated in. Hilarious, even to the guys that got mildly injured. Why, because we lived in a thick skinned and durable society, without whiners or self important, anxiety riddled safety nazi's. What the OP describes is observing someone making a fairly common newby mistake and laughing about it. As everyone else that witnessed it would. If someone has difficulty appreciating the guy humor in it, it's time to change the depends. [/QUOTE]
