DECEPTIVE JOKES
Pr 26:18,19 Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrows is a man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I was only joking!"
There are many kinds of joking that Christians should not be involved. in. "Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place." Eph 5:4 In this case Christians should not be involved in joking where deception is involved. Seems that would exclude a lot of "practical jokes".
Secondly are those who try to deceive their neighbor to harm them or steal from them or slander them, and then when they are discovered, they lie saying that they were only joking. If nothing else, that kind of joking will destroy relationships.
