Pranks sure are fun, aren’t they? Whoopie cushions, sticking someone’s hand in water while they’re sleeping — whip one of these favorites out at a party, and you’re basically guaranteed to inspire a good time.

Sadly, though, some people just don’t understand the beauty — and the simple joy — of a good prank. Take, for example, the Ohio Supreme Court, which recently suspended an attorney after he was caught pooping into a Pringles can and throwing it into the parking lot of a victim advocacy center.



Now, you might be thinking, “I don’t understand the problem here. Haven’t the Ohio Supreme Court ever heard of a goof?” The recently-suspended attorney, one Jack A. Blakeslee, feels the same way. “[Blakeslee] said he didn't target anyone but had a habit of putting his feces in Pringles cans and randomly throwing them from his car,” reads a report from the Cincinnati Enquirer. “He claimed he pulled the Pringles prank at least 10 times that year.”


The Court, in response, argued that Blakeslee was trying to mess with a current court case to which he was assigned — one that involved the very same victim advocacy center. I’m sorry, but which version is more believable: A guy tried to get out of work, or a trickster has been crapping into Pringles cans almost a dozen times this year alone for the love of comedy?



The latter, obviously.


For now, the Court has decided to suspend the attorney’s law license for a year. Shows what you get for giving a shit.
