| 70. It's Always Fun til Someone Gets Their Eye Poked Out |
|
Joking "on" and joking "with" are two very different things - although, in all honesty, I've seen plenty of instances where the latter also get complained about.
Still, more people get their eyes poked out, with the former. Unless you've got someone outrightly volunteering to be the butt of a joke, it's generally not a good idea here.
