“Are you ticklish” is such a loaded question. If you say no they’ll test it. If you say yes they’ll test it. Just tickle me. Get it over with. Subject me to this horror soon so that I may begin my healing process.
My 7th grade English teacher told us the proper response to “are you tickleish?” Is “I have diarrhea”
Another solution: Just sucker punch them in the god damn face before they can move a muscle.
