    Funniest practical joke I saw is when I was working log homes. The head yard dog was getting ready for lunch. He was operating a Barko Grapple, which is a huge machine on catapiller tracks like a buldozer with an elivated rotating cab with a long arm and a grapple at the end. They use those to grab bunches of logs from trucks ets... when unloading, logging uses them to load trucks ets.. It has huge reach can grab massive amount of logs. He grabbed this huge bell (but end of log usually really wet and extremely heavy, useless they get cut off and burned) raises it probley 20 feet in the air just over this huge mud puddle. Hid in the cab and just waited. Most of the log dogs and yard dogs got wind of it on the radio, everybody just kind of hid and waited. Sure enough a couple of young yard dogs come straggling in to the break room shooting the sheet not paying attention completely oblivious. They were good 10 feet from the mud puddle when dude released the grapple, a tidal wave of mudy water slammed those two dudes. Kinda different at a log yard though. Every body foocks with everybody else mercilessly. Logging lot of professions, just part of the breed. You learn to take it, and give it.

    This new dude at the log lot about a week after he started kinda dim and clumsy never make it, he didnt. He drove an old Subaru Brat had the brush gard on front. Where everybody parked there was huge logs dividing parking lot from log lot. One of the old timers put a log chain around a log in front of the log and paddle locked it to his brat. I didnt see it but I guess a bunch of log dogs just sat on there tailgates after work drinking laughing at him. Dude just didnt have the stones to handle it, wasn't more than a week later he quit.

    Aint namin names, but me thinks somebody needs to grow themselves a set of stones.


    As far as Powell-Peralta your opinions are completely asinine!

    Why? Because I don't approve of your cretinous behaviour?
    Drivin' down the road honkin' your horn like an idiot and making people drop their stuff on the ground is funny? What are you...7 years old?

    Does it take "stones" to act like a moron?

    When you grow up some more maybe you will see there is a difference between a good joke where all parties involved can have a good laugh.......and an immature joke that only makes you (and other drivers) look bad. And people can flame your post all they want for the simple reason you posted it.

    Here's why I think your an idiot:

    You claim you can be outwardly rude to people who are dirty or stink, that would get you hurt really bad with the wrong people.

    I pull steps and flats and mostly local some regional but I fuel at truck stops. I may be up to my A-hole in mud at a well location or construction site, and have just thrown 12 straps and 12 chains on a cluster you know what of a load, and then got a back haul of a crap load of different sized pipe and threw alot of chains and straps on it. Sure I'm going to be sweaty and dirty and inevitably smelly, My question to you is, would you then have the "stones" to say something to me about it? I highly doubt it.

    And what if a NICE CLEAN guy did say something to you. And you FOUND OUT the HARD way he just did twice what you did:biggrin_25521: but had cleaned up.

    Seen it more than once TRUCKDRIVER rambo flat on his BUTT and the guy that put him there did not APPEAR to be the guy that could do it , but DID :biggrin_25515:

    Worked on quite a few logging jobs over the years , SAFETY was and is #1 , action like that ( dropping the BUTT ) would not be tolerated.

    That's dam right! hitler wore very clean clothes, george d.W.i. bush wears clean clothes and most republicans wear clean clothes so this proves that bad people wear clean clothes and you can't judge wether a person is good or bad based soley on their clothes.

    But we are supposed to think this was hilarious. If not, then we are the problem because we don't have a sense of humor. As I said previously, I thought Bazerks OP was great. Then his post about the airhorn changed my mind. Pity we "can't see the difference in what he says not to do and what he did."
