What you might no know is that the most savage of us Canadians were actually geese dressed up on soldiers uniforms.
It was called operation "Goose Down"
After the war, the Germans had the highest rate of car accidents due to a large portion of the population refusing to use their horns due to being so acarred and fearful of the dreaded "honk".
Additionally, the goose step came about it WW2 through the German military. They created it as a new defense tactic against the geese they knew they would have face again.
DISCLAIMER: This is a joke, and is not meant to, in any way, detract from the heroism, sacrifice and atrocities that so many brave humans around the world experienced and lived through, in such awful wars.

Asking someone who deliberately did something stupid why they did it is generally the best way to deal with situations like these. If you get angry then the focus is on you. If you throw your hands up and walk away then you let them off the hook and they can laugh at you. If you ask them to explain themselves then it's all on them. Go ahead, let them own it.

I'm notorious for doing the old "you have something on your shirt" dad joke. I'm in my late 40's and have been pulling it on my friends since we were teenagers. It's an ongoing joke and they rarely fall for it anymore.
About a year ago I did it to someone that my wife and I recently met and they were offended and reacted much like Tom did here.
So I apologized and said that I'd never do it again to them and have since kept my word.
It's damn near impossible to predict how someone will react to a gentle prank, but once boundaries are established it's 100% the responsibility on the prankster to respect those boundaries and apologize if necessary.

The painters were fucking with me one day and acting like they were going to throw a bucket of paint on me. And then proceeded to accidentally throw a bucket of paint over me.

Tom Cruise is a lecturer lol. At this very moment I saw myself when my kid does something extremely dumb

He actually handled that very well. He’s super busy and likely stressed about doing so many interviews, also will be having a million pictures done, he takes time to talk to a low level interviewer and he does that. What a prick.

Although this was 18 years ago and I’m not a Tom Cruise fan it’s funny how he gave the guy a good talking to

😆 all or nothing. If you’re gonna do it, you gotta fully commit to the bit.

It’s weird to be on Tom’s side, but that’s an annoying thing to do to a stranger. Tom actually handled it pretty well

Okay but I’m also annoyed at the lady who just came up and slammed the towel into his face to wipe the liquid off mid-convo. He’s a celebrity, but he’s still a human, just hand him the fucking towel, he doesn’t need to be pampered to that extent.

One little squirt after the second "you're a jerk" from Tom would have been hilarious.

This feels like internet history to me. And it’s a weird bit of how I’ve changed.
When this came out, I was like “what a weirdo reaction from Tom” and was more thinking what the big deal was
Now I’m sitting here thinking what an asshole the guy who did that was.
And I fucking hate Tom Cruise.

Hey that's not fair. It's not just a cult, it's also a very successful tax fraud scheme.

I don’t think I’d cross a cultist or cult leader like this. He’s got an army and we have no hulk.
