When I was in high school, we went on a field trip to court. It was one person after another pleading guilty or not guilty to whatever they were accused of, mostly misdemeanors. It was kind of boring to watch.

One guy, looking a little weird, like he's having a hangover or something, stands in court - handcuffed and all - and the accusation begins in a very serious manner:

«Mister so-and-so is accused of stealing a car. Make, model, and year being a Chevrolet Caprice Classic 1986.»

Me and my body looked at each other and we were thinking: «Hey, that's the same model as a police car. Wouldn't it be funny if ...» And the accusation going on, still with a very serious tone:

«The property was owned by the local police department.»

Me and my body could barely hold back our laughter. Enough that the judge, lawyers, and everybody else turned back to look at us like they were wondering what was going on. All I could think of was «Don't you get it? He didn't steal a car, the idiot stole a POLICE car!»

Apparently, it was only funny to me and my body.

I'm reminded of a quote I saw somewhere of someone checking with a forum that "1 is true, 0 is false, right?" To which some genius responded "1", an answer that is both perfectly correct and totally unhelpful.

I remember someone being asked about ( along the lines of*):
Do you know Julie Ormandy?
Only Julie.

* Last name started with ' Or'.

To me it looks very dangerous ##-## the foot end of the underside of the mattress shows a large tear ##-## the mattress has steel springs in it ##-## I don't see a way to in advance rule out an unacceptably high risk of possibly serious injury.

Most likely an airbag. I've seen even worse videos where one sits right on top of one and just blows himself up. I mean one can easily brake the spinal cord or as minimum cause disc hernia with something like that.
Anyway , who am I to say to others on how they should injure themselves...:biggrin:

It's three airbags, with steel springs between them and the recipient of their force ##-## in my opinion, whatever funniness the prank may conduce, it's not worth the attendant risk of potentially serious injury.
