Cushion the Blow

Headline: Mass pillow fight

New Yorkers brought forth their inner child with vengeance in a massive public pillow fight in the heart of the city.

Pillow fights usually start out nice, until someone gets pissed off and really starts swinging.

My eyes always seemed to get popped by the corners of the pillowcase that left me twitching more than the commissioner from the Pink Panther movies.

Luckily, those guys weren’t on beds. There’s no doubt in my mind that someone would’ve been whacked directly across the face and knocked off onto the nightstand: game over.

Even if the pillows were filled with feathers, they are still potentially dangerous. Getting scratched by those little quills hurts like a bitch, you may as well bash someone with a porcupine.

I wonder how many people went home with a black eye or bloody nose from that one jackass who filled his pillowcase with bricks. There had to be somebody out there who wasn’t playing nicely.

Either way, it is a good idea to let your inner child run wild on occasion, as long as they clean up the mess before their parents get home.
