2. I probably would not read it.
3. yeah sure, as long as it ain't too expensive and is REALLY funny, then yeah! ^_^
4. Go for it.
5. Yes I would buy it.....laughter is something we all need more of....go for it!!!!! let me know when it's completed...
6. No, it's not of substance for me.
7. I think I would. I might not buy it...but I'd read it! Ha ha. I guess if it depends if it was well written and not too repetitive.
8. I guess a bunch of highschoolers might. I probably would, if it were not very expenisve and if its pretty funny.... Good Luck with it.
9. No, because some pranks are bullying and hazing and can hurt other people.
10. Sorry, but no. Most of the pranks that seem "hilarious" to the majority of the student body are usually at the expense of another student who is usually the victim of ostracization, group of students (e.g. chess club, AV club), or a teacher. An example: in my high school there was a "good" student, fairly well-rounded academics/sports/clubs, who had the unfortunate habit of talking the proverbial word a minute. Sometimes it was hard to keep up with the conversation. Someone on the yearbook staff thought it was funny to write the caption "200 words a minute". Other kids had "best kisser", "most likely to be a millionaire", etc. The 200-word person was devastated when the yearbook came out and felt betrayed and totally friendless. It turned out the person had a mental condition that sometimes manifested itself in a manic episode including rapid speech. Not very funny, is it when you know the truth of how someone is affected. Sermon over.
11. Well, as a person who's tried to write the same sort of thing for a number of years, I can tell you that it's probably likely to seem a lot funnier to you (and your friends) than it will to other people. That kind of stuff tends to die as soon as it hits the page. Of course, maybe you can come up with some glue to hold it together (like a meaningful ongoing story)...but if it's just pranks and wacky hijinx--I doubt it'll work. Unless maybe you guys really pushed things to the limit, like hijacking an ICBM or something...
