Social Experiment
Author: DarK FoX
Author's note:
1. The ideas of posting constantly every week is not as 'cool' as previously thought.
Try this experiment.
Requirement: A very bad joke, a partner and a victim.
Procedure:
1. Go up to your victim.
2. Tell the bad joke to your victim.
3. Your partner should laugh at the joke (even though it does not make sense).
4. Wait for victim's reaction.
Hypotosis: If your victim is not the serious/blur kind and he/she is one who tries to blend it, he/she will laugh along as well.
Basically, most of people who can laugh will be conformed by your partner who is laughing. The person would think: 'I don't get the joke but I should have so I'll just laugh to be polite'. It is all under identity management and face-saving if not mistaken. He/She tries to uphold his dignity in the social group.
