3 Adam decided to play a practical joke on Linda, a co-worker. As Linda was leaving the office one night, Adam, wearing a mask, stepped out from behind some bushes. He pointed a handgun made out
of licorice at her and demanded her purse. He then pushed the candy gun to her head and told her if
she told anybody he'd kill her. Linda was very scared during the whole incident. She did not think it was
funny when Adam pulled the mask off and took a bite out of the gun as he gave her the purse back.

and was only playing a joke on Linda.
