    No mention of laughter even being a factor.

    I shared the part where it mentioned it being a factor.

    No, not required, but overall or most or more than half or more frequently or insert synonym here for most…

    Generally a good practical joke will have the victim to be able to laugh after the fact and not be like you assaulted me. Assault isn’t a joke.

    Since you don’t know what most means you may not know what assault means …

    violent physical attack, as with blows.

      That’s fine. The guy I was responding to was trying to argue that all pranks make everyone laugh, which is ridiculous.

        Yeah and the person I’m responding to said

        threw it as a prank

        What I’m saying, it’s it doesn’t matter the intent, assault isn’t a joke. Throwing objects that can potentially cause injury isn’t a practical joke at all.
