Used to be a bunch of people who HAD to be the first ones out of the parking lot at work a soon as 5:00 hit. We spent a couple of days in the machine shop making axle jacks to hold the back tires an inch or so off the ground on their trucks. They ran out, hopped in and tires spun. It worked because they were in such a hurry to leave that they backed into the spaces.
heh, good old political mischief - gotta love the USA
Bump for later reading
A light afternoon ping.
We would send the new guy to supply for 100 yards of flight line...
Whoa. News to me. I think everyone in the family has had it at one time or another, and I've never heard of it being permanent.
If your chicken has been naughty,
Chickenlax will make him potty.
Chickenlax
She also had 5 or 6 dogs that she kept in a small pen right outside my bedroom window. If I made any noise at all in my bedroom (coughed, open or closed a door, dropped anything), they'd start barking. If they kept on yapping, she'd let them all in her house. (Can you see where this is going?)
By this time we realized that exlax by itself only produced foam, so we mixed it in with 5 or 6 BIG cans of dogfood. We thew it in with them about 10 PM, and then played MrDo on the Atari while we waited for her lights to go out. About midnight we dropped a shoe to get them started barking, and she let them in. We kept playing MrDo. About 2AM, there was a BUNCH of yelling as her boyfriend went storming out. My buddies wife went there the next morning, and she said the Malamute or the Spitz must have been wagging his tail, because it was thrown and spattered everywhere - walls, TV screen, ect. It took about a month before her boyfriend came back.
Another disassembled all the cubes in an unused floor and built a maze (they were being paid but told not to start working untill the project budget was approved).
We had permission from the County Judge to park/camp on County property. We called the Game Warden the night before to let him know that we would be in.
Being that other people were not to be tresspassing on location and such was a problem, I strung fishingline across a roadway 100 yds from where we would be sleeping in the back of our trucks. The fishingline was attached to two coffee cans with loose rocks inside as a noise maker to wake us up if someone came in during the night.
When we left out that morning to hunt the river, I forgot to retreived the coffee cans.
We met up with the Game Warden much later and finding out who laid out the trap, told me that I had broken out his windsheild. He laid it on me for 45 minutes, had me show him that I had a credit card, called the Judge, called a local repair shop (Knox City is not very big) for me to fix it that afternoon.
He finally let me off the hook, had a laugh and said the trick with the cans was something he always has to look for.
Reminds me of the time I had a little fun at the campfire. Let just say firecrackers can be concealed very well inside of a marshmallow on the end of a stick. Nobody notices the tip of the fuse sticking out, and then..
bttt
We use wireless bluetooth headsets, where do you put the whipped cream?
We also sent them for Relative Bearing Grease.
The TTY machines in the commcenter had 1/2" plastic tubes to carry the chad from the tape to the little bin. We called them fallopian tubes. We'd send the new guys to sickbay to get replacements.
A Navy E3 is called a Seaman. We'd call over to the Wave barracks and have them page "Seaman Stains". Worked every time...
for later read...
You can learn something new EVERYDAY on FR!!!
Well what a relief. I was just dying to know that :o)
During semester breaks, it wasn't unusual for students to stay on campus and party rather than going home or actually finding gainful employment for a few days. At the end of one semester, with the money run out and several days to pass before classes resumed, an ad appeared in the campus paper promoting the "Cuba Book Drive". Students were urged not to re-sell their used textbooks back to the nasty capitalist book stores, but, as a sign of their solidarity with the workers of Cuba, to donate them instead to the Cuba Book Drive.
The books could be dropped off at any number of collection points around campus whence they would be forwarded to Cuba for use in that socialist paradise. It occurred to one of my fraternity brothers that the leftist campus establishment was dangerously naive and that it was our sacred duty to help them shape up. We carted off (and re-sold) enough books to buy all our beer for the entire second semester.
Late one night while emptying the book depository in the Arts & Sciences building, we were caught by the janitor (as I recall, he had the Marine Corps emblem prominently tattooed on one arm). Thinking we were agents of the Cuba Book Drive, he explained in no uncertain terms what he thought of communist sympathizers, hippies, homo's, druggies, and the like. When we explained that we weren't hippies, just good ol' boys committing grand larceny for beer money, he helped us haul the books out to the loading dock.
Those were the good old days.
How about this one?
I waited for a co-worker to leave his desk one day. While he was in the men's room I went to his Win2k desktop PC and hit the "Print Screen" key. I then opened Paint and hit ctrl-v and created a bitmap file. I made this bitmap image his desktop wall paper and then dragged all of his desktop icons off of the screen.
When he returned, double clicking the icons produced no action. We all watched as he tried everything he could think of. I had to step in though as he picked up the phone to call the IT dept. No sense getting them on your bad side.
Just last week I went to the same guy's PC and opened his Intel Extreme Graphics GUI from Control Panel and set the display to refresh at 90 degrees rotated to the left. That one pi$$ed him off.
