When I was 16 I saw a friend turn around the corner so I stood in the street for a game of chicken. He sped-up and hit the brakes. Then I sat on the hood and he peeled out, sped for a couple of blocks and slammed on the brakes. While he sped i worked my way up the hood so I could better give him the finger. when he hit the breaks I slid down the hood just short of falling off.

That was 30 years ago and not something you forget.

My brother did something like that too. Broke two legs, two arms, lots of ribs and a skull thingy too. Fortunately, he recovered. It was a FireBird he was surfing.

In days of old I had notions of being a stuntman. A friend had a '73 Camaro. I decided to show him what a good stuntman I could be. We agreed that I would stand in the street; he'd drive up at about 20 mph. and I would roll off the hood as if I'd been hit. I worked too well. I rolled up the hood and put my knee through his windshield.

I didn't get hurt but he window cost me money. We agreed to pay half each because he agreed to it.

I did the same thing in Calumet Park one night. We were drinking (did I mention booze in the previous action?) and I stood with a friend in the middle of the road pretending to argue. As a car drove by he was to push me in front of it. It worked great. I rolled off the hood and landed in the grass. I lay there pretending I was out. The guy got out of his car and was freaking out asking, "Are you all right?"

I couldn't help myself I started laughing. I thought the guy was going to kill me.

Not good ideas but I DO remember them with some fondness.
