“Top 10 Pranks That Went Too Far” compilation where #1 is Liu Bang founding the Han Dynasty

hold on i gotta Google something. Okay that’s funny

People are asking what this means, so:

Liu Bang was a provincial constable (basically a sheriff) in Classical China who one day was transporting some prisoners who escaped. The penalty for allowing prisoners to escape was death, so my man looked at his prospects and said “welp, in for a penny, in for a pound” and decided to go join up with the dudes who’d been his prisoners 5 minutes ago. This kicked off a chain of events that led to him becoming a bandit chief and eventually a rebel general and ended with him overthrowing the Qin dynasty and becoming Emperor Gaozu of Han.

And you think you had a weird day at work
