I never laughed so hard!

One other one is way back in high school the girls restroom shared a common wall with the back stage area of the auditorium, we rigged a small switch under the seat of one of the toilets that would turn a light on back stage, We had also mounted a small speaker behind the toilet. The light came on and we made the announcement; "excuse me, ma,am, would you move over, we're painting down here" then we would hear screams and then we got suspended, but it was worth every second of it.

 

Or a water stretcher!

 

my wife's father is a retired mechanic, my wife when she was a teenager used to help in the shop getting tools, etc.. So you would think she would have a decent knowledge about cars. Shortly after we got married, she came home one afternoon telling me that her car was making a funny noise. I went and checked it out, came back in and told her that her car need new muffler bearings and was low on blinker fluid. She told me I was lying, the car was an '94 Pathfinder that had the rear wiper/washer. The fill for the washer was on the right side just above the taillight, so it looked like you were actually filling the taillight. I told her to stop by the parts store the next day and get some new muffler bearings and blinker fluid and I would take care of it. The parts store that I used knew me well, so I called ahead and told them what I needed. They put special labels on a bottle of washer fluid and a muffler clamp and gave them to her when she came in. She almost completly fell for it until that weekend when we were at her parents house and she told her Dad about it, after laughing, he set her straight. She didn't speak to me for 3 days and slept in the spare room for 3 nights.

 

while in the Navy I told the new guy to go get me a pad eye remover" they are welded in" he went down a couple of flights to the tool locker and was gone forever. soon I look up here he comes with the biggest cutting torch setup I have ever seen and about 20 guys laughing their heads off. he pulled that thing up 2 flights of stairs by himself and it had to utweigh him by 50 pounds. he took it in stride though and just laughed.

 

Ha, I was working at a company and the dispatcher needed to replace the clutch on his P/U truck and there was a mechanic at the shop that was going to allow him to borrow the air compressor so I could use my air tools and make the job faster, so I told him if he would bring it all to my house that I would get his clutch done pretty quickly, Well the wekend got there when we were going to take the compressor and as we were going to load it in the back of his truck he rolled it out and made the comment "Man this thing is heavy" So without missing a beat I said "Just a minute let's empty it and make it lighter" With a straight face he said Ok yeah. By this time I couldn't contain myself any more, I was busting a gut, To this day I tell this story to folks and they get a chuckle out of it.

 

I used to work in a gas station as a kid, one fall an older lady drove up in her Corvair and asked to have her antifeeze changed for the winter. I was kinda new to things mechanical, but was pretty sure that her car had an air cooled engine, so after trying to tell her she didn't need antifreeze, I went in an got the boss. He came out and told the lady she should go to where she had it changed before. She said she couldn't as they were out of business. He had to explain to her how she had been getting robbed. She believed the boss, but not me, when I first tried to explain it to her.

 

When we get a new Scout leader. usually a father who knows nothing of camping. One his first camp out with the troop, we would team up the new dad with an older scout ( 15-16 yr olds) and help him learn the ropes so to speak. The scout would ask the dad to go to other camps and ask for a left handed smoke shifter, chow line, or a right handed pot holder. most troops are in on the fun, some days guys are gone for hours. when they find out the kid fooled them they usually love it.

 

We always sent people out looking for 50 yards of shore line.

 

I was in the drive through at McDonalds and the gal asked me if I wanted it "for here" or "to go". I told her she could decide... When I got to the window to pay she was literally laughing her ### off, and more than a little red face embarrassed.

 

Come on, none of yall ever sent the noob out to to get batteries for the chem light, or brake light fluid?
