When you're leaving, or going to bed, and turned the last light off, do you shut your eyes when going the last few steps? Or do not do that in the first place?

Edit: And somehow it feels satisfying. I'm not sure why.

Edit2: It appears I'm strange. Cool, an LJ poll got something right :)

No, it's that whole being a girl thing. We can aim.

Derek Acorah is scary.

I'm not sure bringing the target closer counts as aiming. More sensible, relying on native intellegence with which evolution has endowed us rather than arbitrary physical prowess when overcoming entropy and natural objects, certainly. But I wouldn't have said "aiming" :)

I was, uh, imagining it being down. When aiming doesn't really help.

don't you notice it's down if you sit on it?

Well, so you'd think, but I'm sure I've heard of people making this mistake. I presume they were slightly premature.

I've read of April Fool jokes involving cling film... don'tknow if anyone's ever done that.

I bet they have. It's the sort of thing *someone*'s going to try, once the idea is well-known, like urban legends which are automatically true because whether or not they happened first, they're the sort of thing someone will try because they heard about it.

It seems one of the ideas that are a lot better than jokes relying on randomly breaking people's possessions/bones, but still a bit on the mean side rather than the funny side. I guess if you're sure nothing's going to be damaged and someone actually deserves it, the exclamations will be funny.
