I’ve always enjoyed a good prank phone call (who doesn’t?), and when you couple that with a loose moral code, you get a loud and resounding yes to this question, because bomb threats are like the grown-up and even more awesome version of pulling the fire alarm in school. That, and the fact that a lot of those UN types are total Poindexters who spend their lives chained to their desks, and it would seem to me that if they were driven (by the threat of, say, me blowing them up…anonymously) outside for even just a little bit of natural light and fresh air, it might be just what the doctor ordered (if I were the (unlicensed) doctor doing the ordering). It sounds like a pretty super great deal all around, I think. Except for one little thing, which is that “the authorities” are such fucking uptight control freaks that they lose it when you start talking about “bombs” and “planting bombs” and “bombing the fuck out of the UN” — even when it’s obvious you were kidding (and even if the bomb squad confirms it was just a joke!). Apparently, they will put you in jail and charge you lots of money for fake bomb threats! That is how uncool they are! Nobody can take a joke anymore, least of all the scaredy cat cry babies at the UN, I guess. And while I have many super stealth powers (too many to list here) I am fairly certain I would get caught, since I regularly leave behind a trail of cupcake crumbs, socks and dental floss almost everywhere I go.* So, I’m passing on this one because of the jail and the being traded for a pack of cigarettes and the having to go number 2 in front of my cellmate.
* I’m actually not joking about this at all.
