If the man is my husband, then probably, yes.
He's one of those guys that you can't get a straight answer from to save your life. It's so bad, one of our kids will ask a question, he'll answer it, and they immediately ask me, "Mom, is that right?" I usually just shoot the questioner a "what do you think?" look, the kid says reproachfully, "DAD!!" and DH says, "you don't let me have any fun!"
I have found that the only way to stay sane with an inveterate leg-puller is to have an "ultimate weapon" that can be pulled out when the "humor" gets out of hand. I found mine while DH and I were still dating. It seems that he is ticklish. Very, very ticklish. Funny thing, the kids can't tickle him - but I can.
I can tickle him from across the room! I have had that man on the floor, begging for mercy, without having touched him. I just look at my hands, and flex my fingers, and he starts giggling nervously and backing away. Sometimes, the hint isn't enough; even though he can barely speak from laughing, he'll continue teasing. When that happens, I put on a diabolical grin, and move in slowly, hands poised at the ready. He will be so doubled over with laughter that all he can manage will be weak, ineffectual swats at my hands. I try not to get between him and the door at this point, because if there's an exit, he usually will take it with all possible speed. You see, I'm not a cruel person, but a mother bear will protect her young!
