Did my birthday joke go to far?
|
I do so look forward to this time of year. My wife only yesterday celebrated her birthday, I made special efforts and went over to London the previous evening to meet some pals at the club, as I do at least twice a week, and informed my wife I'd return the following morning. Meanwhile, I had the local constable visit the manor in the small hours to inform my wife that I was dead - having had a dead pig fall on me from a height.
When I returned to the mansion, I found my wife in tears, consulting with an undertaker and several members of the family. For the rest of the day, no one spoke to me and my wife has gone to stay at her sisters. Did I go to far?

That is awesome, i think the falling pig would have made it unbelievable but i think it was great. Poor wife she will laugh at it in years to come |

Some people just don't know a good joke. |

Yes. Yes. Yes.... you went way too far. |

I found it very amusing and it is apparent that your wife and family can not take a joke. You would think by now, they would expect this from you. It is obvious that you have been lax in your pranks lately, so you will need to step up the misbehavior to condition them. Good luck. |

Do you think maybe she was in tears.... because you returned? Maybe? |
|

CAL
 |
Absolutely, yes! |

You have gone toO far, my dear, toO far.. |

After being married to you for so many years, I believe it's an over-reaction on her part! |
|

Klaus
|
Yes, that seems a little harsh. |
|

great gag !!!
but i do think you should have said hospitalized and left out the DEATH word. |

Yes - that was cruel - why would you do that to her on her birhday - nothing funny about it |

Sir,In reality I dare say you did go to far,but I hope you gave her something to be grateful about,making her squeal like a pig!!! But she did not waste much time burying you dear boy! Next time make sure the pig falls on her head! |

You would fit right into my family.
Not sure if you actually did this or not... but I find it hysterical.
Mind you, I have been known to have a rather sadistic sense of humour.
Cheers! |

No, who believes that a dead pig is going to fall on to you! |

w-a-a-a-y-y-y too far. Would have thought it was funny if she did that to you? |
|

is the whole question your joke?
Your wife could suffer depression... |
|

questionsplease
|
Judging by her reaction, I'd have to say.... YES.
Goodness man, that's just horrible. How would you feel if someone told you your wife was dead? And since men have stronger control of their emotions, the fact that your WIFE thought you were dead makes it worst for her.
You should give her a gift she's always wanted, apologize, and never do that again. |
|

 |
Yes in my opinion i think you've gone too far by activating the constable which adds credibility to the fake news, no matter how absurd it sounds. Worse still, you did not reveal the joke soon enough after the constable visit.
I suggest you do some serious apology and explanation to your wife and let her know you do not mean any harm by that ill-intended joke. |

Um hell yea you went too far! A good joke or prank doesn't involve the faking of your death or a loved ones death. Don't make jokes about death. |

death is not funny - I understand you wanting to make a funny though. Once I called my hubby at the grocery store and told him that my son had been cut and there was blood everywhere and I didn't know what to do - well then i proceeded to place him on the floor covered in blood and wait for hubby to get home. i got the cold shoulder for quite awhile - apparently it is not a good idea to joke about life and death. Sorry mate hope things even out soon. |
|

oyoukee
 |
The fact that you have to ask yourself, you already know you went too far! so apologize to her before you loose her for good |

Outsider view - no, that wudda been funny as!!
Wife view - ABSOLUTELY TOO FAR !!! death is only ever funny if it doesnt involve someone close to you, you messed with feeling she wud hope never to have to deal with and family would have seen that as disgusting...
But it was an amazing prank!! |

well your joke did go a little bit too far, because its a little bit hard to hear that someone who's near you is dead, but anyway you can still make things right again. |
