Zen Pranksters

We talked today about how when you read about zen, it is this boisterous, often hilarious practice with monks pushing one another off of chairs and messing with each other's minds, but in practice in so many places, it is this solemn undertaking done only by the terminally careful, so that it ends up being somewhat dead.

You find a monk in a field and ask "Where is Joe?"  and he waves a wand back and forth a few times in front of your face and says nothing. Then you decide that this guy is nuts and you go to the next field and find a monk and ask him where Joe is and they guy says, "You were just talking to him"

I so want to try that, except with fireworks. BOOOM!
