Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I thought it was a Christian slur against people who still observed a certain pagan holiday.

Nothing I've seen online has really stopped me from getting to what I needed to, so the pranking isn't bothering me.
Of course, the world is whirling merrily around my head, so what's a prank got to offer?
