Speaking of capacitance, back in the day we (Navy Electronics Techs) used to charge up a capacitor using a megger (crank it and it makes 500 volts) and then throw the capacitor to whoever walked into the space, telling them "Catch!" What a shocking development that was.

Ah, the Navy days. I remember these also:

The sea bat

Mail Bouy watch

fuses (or batteries) for the sound powered phones

being sent to Engineering Department for a BT punch

being sent out for fallopian tubes (another Elec Tech thing)

getting triced up in your rack

being sent out for relative bearing grease (for the radar)

and tacking on of crows

Anyone want explanations, just ask.

Sadly, in today's "kinder, gentler Navy" all of that is considered "hazing" and is no longer permitted.

I got those beat.
We rigged a new BM2's rack with a pull-trigger inflator connected to a Suzie Savage inflatable love doll.

We pretty much killed the whole room in hysterical tears. It went off and scared the crap out of him as he rolled in his rack -and on the trigger- and these legs came popping out with a loud "PSHISSSSSSS!!!!".
Got chewed out for, "Wasting," the inflator, but I personally considered it a PM spot check.

I miss Kinison too. One of the funniest comedians in the last 20 years.
