Going Too FarEver had one of your mates go too far? Back when I was a teenager I went to stay with a friend in the country. We took his dog for a walk in some woods - which was fun.
We came across a breeding pen for the local pheasant shoot - which was interesting.
But then my friend broke into the cages, grabbed a pheasant, strangled it and proceeded to throw it around, only managing to rescue it from his dog's jaws seconds before a gamekeeper turned up to see what the hell was going on. Now, that was a bit too far...

Carter - Master of going too far.School camping trip, about 15 boys and two teachers. Gets to about 8pm and the teachers quite rightly decide to leave us to it and retire to the pub.
All was going well, we had a camp fire, some illicit heineken 4% pish and no staff around.
Carter emerges from his tent with a can of brut or hai-karate spray on deoderant, barks "watch this" and lobs it on the fire.
Everyone retires to a safe distance to wait for the inevitable which arrives with a ferocity which shocked us all, even me.
The aerosol (no, not carter) spread the 4' diameter, 2' deep bed of red hot embers over about a 30' radius, encompasing one teachers caravan awning (melted PVC and canvas) the camp kitchen (melted through all of the water bowsers) and several expensive vango force 10 tents were also scorched :-)
Hardly anything or anyone escaped being scorched, people had burnt scalps and stuff, but for some reason I can't remember anyone being punished for it, possibly because leaving fifteen 15 year old delinquents alone on a camping trip was probably a sackable offence.
