Hold up, @eric182, that's not how ear piercings work. You need a clean needle and a pro. Doing it as a threat is just messy. Plus, free doesn't mean safe. Someone could get an infection. Just bad all around.
Wait, "free doesn't mean safe" is the real point here. So what happens if someone actually took him up on that messed up offer? Is he just gonna grab a random needle and shove it through someone's ear? That's how you end up in the emergency room with a nasty infection, not with a cool new piercing.
