Going Too FarEver had one of your mates go too far? Back when I was a teenager I went to stay with a friend in the country. We took his dog for a walk in some woods - which was fun.
We came across a breeding pen for the local pheasant shoot - which was interesting.
But then my friend broke into the cages, grabbed a pheasant, strangled it and proceeded to throw it around, only managing to rescue it from his dog's jaws seconds before a gamekeeper turned up to see what the hell was going on. Now, that was a bit too far...

Sometimes I forget...I'm a stand-up comic, and us comics have a dark sense of humour offstage. Every now and then I'm reminded that most 'civilians' don't.
A gentle example is when I was on my way home from a gig. Our coach had stopped at a motorway service station, the type that charges £1.50 for a bottle of water. All the coach refugees were looking round the shop grumbling about the prices. I turned to this one guy in the spirit of 'we're all in this together':
"Yeah. Feels a bit like your being raped doesn't it?"
"No."
Too far.
