Senior Prom vs. Laser Tag
Can I wear a pretty dress?
Prom: It is expected of you
Laser tag: Why not? Who says you can't play
laser tag in a ball gown?
Are people going to touch me?
Prom: Yes. Most of them. Most of whom you
hate.
Laser tag: Unlikely. If they do, shoot them.
Approximate cost?
Prom: $100-$300 dollars at a minimum
Laser tag: $25
Will I feel the need to shower away my shame and rage at
the end of the night?
Prom: Yes. Yes you will.
Laser tag: No. You must bathe only to wash away
the blood of thine enemies.
Can I pretend to be Princess Leia defending the
republic?
Prom: No. You will feel more like Slave Leia
with Jabba the Hutt. Gross people touching you.
Laser tag: Hell yeah, you can. You must avenge
your home planet of Alderaan.
Will my ears be violated by the sound of terrible
music?
Prom: So violated that your ears could file
charges
Laser tag: No. Only the sweet sound of
phasers.
