Considering the conversation and with the friends I have that probably would have gotten a laugh from a few of them. But we're sick people.

Where's the joke? I think it's an interesting business plan and I would like to invest.

Apart from the kittens part, going into rooms and breaking loads of shit has been around. There's a place in Japan that does it as a type of stress reliever.

Not offensive, not funny.

On a similar note, I had a Belgian friend a while back who would often get people to cringe by simply saying, "Imagine... falling on a bed of kittens."

Here is a hint: Most women won't take kindly to jokes about clubbing kittens.

No wonder they are only people you "associate with" and not your friends. Were you invited to this campfire or did you tag along with someone else?

I bet the conversation died right after you said that.

And then I said

"Wouldn't it be funny if you actually did open that business and ran it just like you said, except you hid kittens in each of the vases?"

Wasn't there a Monty Python sketch where a guy played songs by using mallets and mice? At least, he did it until some guys forcibly carried him off the stage....

Maybe this could be like that, except with kittens instead of mice.

Thankfully, some women do enjoy sick humor. :)

Meh, not every funny.

However, there is already a company in Japan that lets you smash up a room (with vases) with a bat.

No kittens though.

I can't remember the last time that I was offended. I have paid a few dollars to take a whack at a car with a sledge hammer and it was indeed fun!

Thats just sick and deranged. You should be locked up before you hurt someone for real.

Woulda been better if you had said "Wouldn't it be funny if you actually did open that business and ran it just like you said, except you randomly hid kittens in some of the vases?"

Bolded parts are the edits :)
