Or the gullible!

I had a friend in grade school whose uncle talked him into just that action.
They both ended up on the ground -- the uncle from laughing and my friend
because he couldn't stand up anymore.  (I don't think it was raining, or
nighttime.)  Friend said it was worse than getting kicked in the nuts.

Needless to say I didn't rush right home to see if he was right!
