The Joke is On You
When it comes to playing pranks on people you want to make sure that you are clear with your intentions. Because there is nothing worse than when you aren’t completely clear when delivering a joke. It is quite literally all about the delivery.
Because there is nothing quite as awkward as trying to break up with someone and them misconstruing it as a lousy prank. Sure, this isn’t necessarily the fault of the dumper, rather more of the dumpee, but still, this wouldn’t be fun for anyone.
