Uh, I was looking for a little deeper examination than that. Why do people want to humiliate other people?

Love the answer, Erik. :-)
The best answer I can give is that it's part of an ongoing game of one-upmanship between two friends. That's the only kind of practical joke that I play, and rarely at that. Playing them on acquaintances is odd.
