several really nasty times to lock someone in his/her room with pennies are 1. when the person is in the shower 2. when the person is alone with his/her squeeze 3. about 5am (very quietly) 4. just before a scheduled fire drill 5. when the dorm is more or less deserted, except for a few people

One hell of a dangerous "joke", no?

If there happens to be a fire then you simply do as I said and kick the
door.
Read a little further on and you would have seen that part.
Maybe you'd like to hear a joke using crickets, or newspapers,
or for that matter, being on the raw side, excrement. I've got a
million of them.
Just calm down it's just a joke. It is always reversable not terribly
dangerous.
Taking a chill pill,
Morgan.
