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...

Catholics
I grew up in Italy, and being the catholic country that it is, my school was strongly influenced by priests, nuns and the like.
In one of the most intelligent moves I have *ever* witnessed, my friend swapped the crucifix on our chapel altar with the local tobacconist's "Be Back Later" sign.
Needless to say, the assembly that day turned out into a witch hunt for a twelve year old, who was lucky not to be excomunicated from the church.
Too far? Well, in a country where multiculturalism is considered a bad disease it sort of was...it even made headlines in the local news!
Maybe what Italy needs are a few ASBO kids on the loose....
