Art, I still say you were a lucky guy. And the other guy with his ass glued shut, I guess you could say he was full of s--t or maybe he was the kinda guy you couldn't scare the s--t out of him. Anyway sounds like a great get together. |

No Bob, I was there in 1991-1992. But I'm sure I know several of the people you worked with there. When they moved to Sears they actually asked me back as an assistant driving instructor (not as glamorous as it sounds) because I'm originally from Marin County and was living in Sausalito at the time, but I had to turn them down because the salary was way too low to live on. |

Chris, I took the Techniques of Racing Course at Russell Racing back when it was still at Laguna Seca.... in December of 95. When were you there... did you leave when they moved it up to Sears Point? I had a GREAT time... really enjoyed that track!

When I was working as a mechanic at the Russell School at Laguna Seca there was this guy who would never do any work. He'd sit and smoke cloves and b.s. but never actually pick up a wrench.
So one day he announces that he's quitting and his last day is in two weeks. The rest of us got to discussing how he'd REALLY never do any work now, and probably wouldn't open his toolbox for the rest of his time there. So this one guy says, "I bet you are right, let's prove it." So we got this epoxy foam stuff that we used to make seat moulds for customers for... It's kind of like that Great Stuff expanding foam that comes in a spray can. We opened up his drawers in his tool chest, and this guy Mike poured the foam all over his nicely-arranged tools in each drawer and immediately slammed them shut. Well, an hour later, those drawers were never going to open again and the tools in them were lost forever.
As it turns out, the guy never did open his tool chest for those 2 weeks, and on his last day the guy who helped him carry his toolbox to his car flashed the crowd of us this look that I will never forget - nobody could believe that it had gone this far and he still didn't know... |

I recall a guy having a few too many shots and passing out in my college days. We dragged him over to the girl's 20-story dorm, stripped him of his clothes and plopped him in the elevator. We pushed the buttons for every floor then split. Man was he ever embarrassed when he woke up the next morning! |

Some guys at the isle of man one year did exactly that to one of their fellow competitors, glued his ass shut. Motorcycle racers in the 70s did some outrageous ••••. I could tell you about the wake up calls at 4am, and 30 - 40% of them got up and went to the track, etc. Racers are generally not grown up, and do weird ••••.
Doug is still my best friend, but he does ••••• and moan about the gluing. Served him right for the •••• he did to me over the years.

You guys don't even want to know about the other stuff that we did in the 70s and 80s when we were racing. The kids nowadays are way too well behaved. In the mid 70s, certain people had their picture at the AVIS rent a car at Daytona during the Motorcycle speed week (Daytona 200), with a sign saying don't rent to these people: all due to a contest of how deep you could bury the rental car into the surf. Those were the days.

In the middle 80s I was a passenger on a sidecar. We would enter events at places like Laguna Seca, and we'd be the last show. My driver was a guy by the name of Doug Daniels, and because I wouldn't wait in line, he would sign me in. He got tried of that, and listed my sponsor at Laguna Seca (1983) as Casanova Plus Marital Aids. They announced that at the start of the race. He thought it was a great idea.
We went to the Isle of Man in 86. After our race, we went back to our hotel (the Majestic, now burned down), and I proceeded to pay the bartender to spike his drink with extra vodka. After a few of those he ended up passed out on the leather sofa. I glued his face to the sofa, and when he woke up, he thought he'd had a stroke, because he couldn't raise his head from the sofa.

A guy in our fraternity was kind of a mope, so while he was at class one day, we moved his entire room out onto the roof of our front porch. We set everything up--mattress, dressers, TV, desk, everything--so he would see it when he came home. Actually being a good sport, he climbed out the window, laid down and took a nap. |

Man this is turning into a good thread. I have a couple of more. I own a restaurant and one of my favorite jokes is to take a quarter and hold it over the stove with a pair of tongs. Then after it gets good and hot I toss it on the floor near someone. It's funny because they don't know where it came from and of course bend over and pick it up. You hear two sounds, a scream usually followed by a cuss word and then the satisfying sound of a coin jingling on the ground. Another favorite is I have some fake poop(I know its juvenile) that I got from a novelty store. I take it into one of the bathrooms in the restaurant and put it by the toilet. I then start making a big fuss about how some disgusting person went to the bathroom on the floor. Of couse all of the employees come to look what the fuss is about. I show them the "mess" and ask who is going to clean it up. Of course they all say it isn't going to be them. So I tell them it looks like I am going to be the one to have to do it. I grab some toilet paper and toss it on top before they get too good of a look at it then I pick it up and act like I am going to put it in the toilet but then I turn around and throw it at someone. I promise you have no idea how fast the human body can move untill you see someone try to evade a flying turd. |

These stories are cracking me up. I have one that sorta goes with Tim's house selling. A couple of years ago my uncle was selling houses and had all of his for sale signs in his garage. Well we were at a pool party at his house one weekend and were just walking out the door when we saw the signs and had the idea that it was time he sold his house. So we put up a for sale sign and 2 open house signs (1 in his yard & 1 at the end of the street) and then proceeded to go home. We found out later from my parents who stayed at the party that it got alot busier at the party after we left. I guess people were streaming in off the street to look at the house and saw all the food so they stayed at the party until my uncle noticed about 10-15 extra people at his party and they were even swimming in his pool.He had to tell all the people that were looking at the house that is was not for sale and someone was playing a joke on him and them. |

When I was about 14 or so a buddy of mine and myself were walking past a new home under construction in the summer time and we walked onto the property and asked the contractor if he was interested in hiring us to clean up the debris around the house as we had for some other builders. He about screamed at us, "you kids get the hell off this property and don't ever come back!". We came back all right. Later that night we slept out in a tent behind my house and went to pay a visit to him to "apologize for walking onto his property". It was about 1:00 a.m. and to our shock he was not there, so we invited ourselves in. He had just put the doors and windows in but no handles yet (thus our entry). I found a glue gun full of heavy duty construction adhesive....ut o! I proceeded to glue his front door shut, his hammer to the floor and his cooler to his saw horse. We still laugh about this thinking about him going to lift up that hammer expecting it is about 16 ounces...NOT! |

Back in the summer before I started 9th grade, my best friend and I decided to play a joke on another kid in our class. He lived out on a country road that was about 5 miles long. We called and said that we were from one of the local newspapers and had a paper route opening on his road that paid $1500 a month. He agreed that it sounded like a good deal, so we gave him a route number (the only one we knew was the one for my neighborhood because I had substituted from time to time on it) and that he would start the next day. So the next day, my buddy and I went to several paper machines, put in a quarter, and took all the papers out of the machine. Then we rode out on our bikes all the way out to his house (we couldn't drive yet) and dumped the papers on his lawn with a note that said to deliver them to the houses with the newspaper box out front. The next day we called to see how it was going, he said fine, and we told him that now he had to collect $20 from everyone on the route. Then we rode out there again and dumped more papers. When we called the day after that, he said that no one would pay him, and when he went to deliver the papers, they were already in the boxes. We agreed with him that that was a little unusual but not to worry about it. By the fourth day, we was sick of dragging papers up and down a five mile road (and my buddy and I were sick of taking papers out there too) so he called the newspaper directly (not us) and gave them the route number and said that he quit. Well, whoever was at the newspaper didn't bother to verify a whole lot of information because then they found someone else to take over that route number. Then of course, my buddy and I had to let it slip (anonymously of course) to the kid who lost his job who was responsible for calling the newspaper. Then the kid who lost his job and the kid that we pulled the prank on were arch-enemies from that day forward - neither ever figuring out what had really happened. |

Three months ago some fool in a minivan cut me off in traffic . I would normally go after the guy but I had my wife and her parents with me in the car and they do not share my anger management issues so I was going to let it go. When I passed "El Piloto" I noticed he had a for sale sign on the van. Next day I called him asked his price and a few questions regarding the condition of his vehicle. I told him it was just what I was looking for and I agreed on his price. I asked him to meet me at the bank and I would withdraw the cash. My buddy and I had planned to meet for lunch in the same center as the bank, the chucklehead gave me his cell phone as a backup. After he waited 45 minutes I called and told him I missed my bus an would he wait for me.My buddy and I were dying of laughter as van boy waited for his cash. A few days later we had my buddy's wife call and agree to buy the van and he waited 1.5 hours as we did it to him again. A few days later we had my Chinese friend ( with his thick accent ) make him wait again. Two weeks later I called him and asked him how he liked waiting for nothing and how funny it was to get him back for cutting me off ,flipping me off and laughing . Could you believe he did not find it as funny as I did. |

When we were bored in college, we'd play "dash for cash". We'd pick phone #'s with nearby addresses from the phone book and call them. In our best radio voices, we'd say we were with 107, a local radio station, broadcasting from the parking lot of 7-11, and as soon as they hung up the phone, they had 107 seconds to run to the 7-11. If they made it, they'd win $107 cash. After hanging up, we'd go out to the porch and watch some poor guy tearing down the street towards the store, thinking he had $107 bucks coming his way. Idle minds... |

Thanks for the idea Fred, I'll try that one. If anyone has someone that they would like me to call, give me their name and number and tell me some details about them and I will nail them guaranteed. I have a plethora of voices and scams. I called a buddy of mine once who owns a lawn care business and I put on my gay voice (not that there is anything wrong with that) and I asked him all kinds of questions about his methods and procedures then I asked him if I could ride on his sulky with him as he cut my lawn. He was flabbergasted. |

DAMN!!! That is FUNNY! Mean but funny. I played a good one one my cousin once. I called up on the phone and acted like I was a guy from sears wanting to deliver the new refrigerator. He knew nothing about it of course. I told him his mother had ordered a new refrigerator and we were coming right now with it. He said that would be fine. I then told him that there is a $50 pick charge for the old refrigerator. He then told me he didn't have $50. I told him this was a problem and that I would call back. I call back and say I spoke with my manager and that if he took everything out and cleaned and sanitized(sp) it then we would wave the charge and he says o.k. I give it some time and call back in a different voice acting like the delivery driver now. I tell him we are running late and it would be a huge help if he could put the refrigerator on the front porch so we can just drop the other one right where it should be and take the one from the porch. "My guys would really like to get home at a decent hour I tell him and thank him" A while later his mom comes home and wants to know why in the world the refrigerator is on the front porch empty. He told her because the guys were delivering the new refrigerator she had ordered. Later after they found out it was me she thanked me for the nice cleaning that her refrigerator got from it. |

This morning (Saturday) at 7:00 a.m. the doorbell wakes me out of a sound sleep. I assume that it is Fed Ex as my wife is a drug rep and gets Fed Ex all the time and they typically ring the bell once and leave. Two minutes later ding dong, ding dong, ding dong...over and over. I go down to the door and there is a frickin mob of people in our front yard and signs all over the place which are facing forward so I can't read them. I open the door and some lady is like irate and says, "it says 7:00!!" I say, "what says 7:00?" She says, "the paper and your signs" like I was the idiot. I walk out and read the signs which say "Huge Estate Sale Everything Must Go." I inform the "angry mob" that this was obviously a practical joke played by some friends of ours...it doesn't sink in their trailer dwelling heads. "Where are the Swords?" one of them asks. I say again...JOKE. The lady who was at the door throws a #2 at me exclaiming that it is not very funny and walks away as does the rest of the mob. My buddy had put a "Please Take A Number" sign by the front door. I look in the paper and there is a huge ad for "my sale" describing in detail my Cilil War swords, Army blankets, Craftsman tools, Elvis memorobilia, etc. This was a partial payback for all of the "scam calls that I've done on them and others...i.e. putting on a gay voice and crying in the phone to them that I was their waiter last night and they forgot to tip me as I am sobbing exclaiming how hard I work for my money, calling my buddie's wife while her husband is up in their new plane and saying I was with the FAA and there has been a recall on their plane because of the possibility of the wings falling off in flight, putting an ad in the Saturday morning paper advertising their 2002 Explorer for $99.00 (the calls started at 4:30 a.m.) and as soon as she put the phone down it would ring again...they left soon afterward only to return home to 37 messages on their answering machine. Some people pleaded with them to "hold it for me, I'll be right there...I've got CASH!" In a nutshell I guess we're even. Jerry |
