Going Too Far
Ever 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...

'Twas the summer just passed
And I was a leader on a kids' camp.
As was the yearly tradition, we took the kids for a long walk at night.
But this was no ordinary midnight walk, oh no. We had a lot planned.
First, we had placed a fish head on a fencepost next to a public telephone. One of the leaders points out the fish head during the walk, and as all the kids rush to stare at it in horror, the phone rings. One of the leaders picks it up. It was our supervisor, who asks for one of the kids. This kid was always misbehaving, and thought himself a pimp, trying to pick up any girl, even the female leaders (who are about 18-22, he was 10).
"Hey, 'Kid A', this mysterious guy wants to talk to you" says one of the leaders.
'Kid A' tentatively picks up the phone, trying desperately not to shit bricks.
"We know where you are and what you're doing" growls our supervisor.
'Kid A' then screams his head off, scaring all the other kids whilst we try not to laugh because at that second, one of our cars comes tearing round the corner wiht leaders hurling water balloons everywhere. It was like a war film with midget civilians running all around the place.
After every single kid had stopped crying their eyes out, we finished the walk and sent them to bed, where they all had nightmares about gigantic fish heads and mysterious evil callers.
Too far? Well, the next day we fed them fish and chips for tea.
