I've done it a couple of times but never seem to learn from my mistakes; sometimes I just feel like winding someone up for absolutely no reason other than to see how different their personality can be when they realise the entire evening has been, and I quote "A lot of crap, constructed purely to make yourself laugh".
I told a girl-friend, with an eager expression on my face that within our lifetime, another moon equal in mass to our current moon will enter the earth's gravitational orbit and "kinda muck up our tides". Oddly enough I neglected to follow up on this and tell her that it was a joke, resulting in her exclaiming at a dinner party about this shocking astrological news to a fairly argumentative reception...
Similar in many ways to the time I told a good friend of mine that I'm in talks with publishers to re-write the Guttenberg Bible in paper back, "It's a very exciting time!" I said. "Initially, I'm going to cut back on complicated characters, iron out some loose ends and explain the lead role's 'Journey towards the man he is today', similar to Batman Begins but without wings."
I’m going to consciously try and avoid these kind of things in future.
