    My father once regaled me with some stories about that.

    He had a storage trailer on a job site where he was doing some sign work. Juvenile delinquents had a tendency to want to change the placards on the trailer all the time, leading to the company getting angry phone calls from the fire marshal demanding to know what's in it.

    Ok that takes the cake. Thankyou for that Mack. I was feeling some what guilty for the past indiscretions of messing with the trailers of old. Tho I do remember thinking how wonderful it was that the landing gear used to have wheels on them.

    My favorite is glad hands. Driver goes to lunch lighting a smoke bowed down shuffling in weary many a mile. Slip up the catwalk, swap the glad hands run way driver comes back hops into tractor tries to go somewhere none of his three brake buttons work. Blinks. stares. Pushes the three buttons in the can in different ways. Thinks a bit. Lights another smoke. Swears some more (BINGO!!!!) hops out and starts working over the entire rig. he he he.

    I was sooo baddd.... but it's harmless bad. Kinda. Now that I think about those wheels, it could have potentially went really bad knowing what I know now...

    Did one of your glad hand pranks involve a quarter, perchance? ;)

    I leave certain things out of my stories. I don't want to be creating a new generation of fun seekers in the industry. It's enough I suppose.

    It was a different time. Easy fix. But when people get angry and swear etc they cannot think things through. So simple becomes difficult.
