My buddy Wayne got me real good today . I was working under an F 350. He was sitting next to me on my little roller seat bs'ng for a while The truck had no four wheel drive engagement , and I was testing the encoder motor, and wiring for the transfer case .
I went over to my computer to grab up a few wiring diagrams. I came back and jumped on my creeper and as I was pulling my self back under the truck, I see a huge rattlesnake wrapped around the driveshaft . Flippin' rubber snake. I suffered a cardiac arrest, banged my head , and tripped over myself trying to get the hell out from under there. I shrieked like a little girl.
He is still probably laughing ,that sob .
Got any good ones?

GF nearly fell for a good one. We were talking about bathroom cleaning products and getting the shower really clean. I said Golden products were great and I'd had good success with Golden Kitchen, and I'd heard their product Golden Shower was good too. I almost had her going to the supermarket and asking for Golden Shower.

Becasue Haloween is almost here...

Did this one to my GF a few years back. 2011.

Here's Leonard McCoy, sitting on the pot... I built him out of a resin-cast skeleton.

and the result, as she rounded the wall...

Kind of a minor one, but made me think "aw crap" for a second.

Detailed an '03 C4S today at a shop. Got there about 9:30am and was very near wrapping it up about 3:45pm when one of the shop owners casually walks out and asks "Hey Coop! Is there a work order in that car?"

Just about this time another tech is pulling an IDENTICAL Lapis Blue C4S off of his rack and out of the shop...

Shop owner says to me, "Dude I think you detailed the wrong car!"

I said something like "Are you ******* kidding me!" 😂

He walked away laughing while I grabbed the work order!

Yep, "Cooper's, Detail" was a line item!

Fred...timely post, going camping in Joshua Tree NP this weekend... Need to dig out a very realistic looking Gilla Monster I have. 😜

Coworker was a reformed Mac user and kept *everything* on his desktop. He also left his computer unlocked all the time. Took a screen shot, set it as the wallpaper, moved all the files/directories/icons/etc. to a new folder, and moved the new folder off the edge of the screen.

One of the guys that worked at our photolab was know to go into the darkroom and take a nap on occasion. One afternoon at closing time we all quietly turned off the lights, and locked the doors. He had no key so he was locked in. We waited in the bushes looking into the foyer which had a few security lights on. He came to the door fairly soon and had a very panicked look. We all laughed and let him out. He was fired a few weeks later when he did not come out of his darkroom for over an hour. It was just a small room with one enlarger in there. He had to come out and go to the processor room to put his print on the processor. It does not take an hour to make an enlargement.

Back on LI there is an old graveyard in a remote area accessible by what's barely a 1 1/2 lane twisty road.

It's one of the cited resting places of Mary Hatchett.

Legend says if you pull up to her grave and flash your high beams she will appear.

One night my buddy and I have a double date.

His GF always thought the legend was BS which of course it was but we decided to screw with her.

We hatched a plan and enlisted our buddy Alan who was like 6'3 and a couple hundred pounds.

Alan would go to the graveyard and lay on or near her grave, cover himself with leaves and when we pulled up he would pop up with a hatchet and bucket of fake blood to throw on the car.

So on the appointed night we pick up the girls, I had borrowed Moms white Benz because neither of our cars would fit us all.

As we are driving down the road a car comes flying at us doing what seemed to be 100 MPH on a road where 50 was dangerous.

We think nothing of it and continue on our way.

We pull up to the grave, flash the high beams, Alan does his thing, girls scream, we haul ass out of there and hit the local bar where we are to meet up with Alan.

He shows up, we all have a good laugh and I ask him what happened to the bucket of blood?

He says "dudes you nearly got me killed. I was laying there and a car pulled up, I could not really see well through my mask but it was white so I assumed it was you and jumped up. The car stopped then started to back up so I ran at it and threw the bucket of blood. The car stopped and the driver floored it right at me. I thought you were just playing it up and only managed to jump out of the way at the last second. As it was driving away I could see it was white, but it was not a Benz"

So somewhere out there on LI are a couple of people who believe the legend of Mary's grave is real.

Depends on what kind of "enlargement" one is trying to make.

Man that was funny. I just told GF and had to try to control my laughter enough to finish the story.

I've heard a buddy tell this story many times. It's pretty funny.

He was a young kid, sitting on the porch with his grandfather while his dad was out under a car changing out the starter. He and his grandpa are drinking lemonade.

Grandpa, "It sure is hot, isn't it?"
Kid, "yeah, grandpa"
G, "this lemonade sure is refreshing, isn't it."
K, "yeah grandpa, it is good."
G, "I'll bet your dad is hot, working under that car, don't you think?"
K, "yeah, Grandpa, probably so."
G, "I'll bet your dad would like to be cooled off. You could take that hose over there and give him a good spray to cool him off."

So my buddy, being just a little kid and trusting his grandfather, turned on the water and sprayed his dad with the hose.

His dad hit his head on the bottom of the car and then dropped the starter on his head while trying to shimmy out from under the car.

Supposedly, his grandfather just laughed and laugh as his dad chased him around the car.

Guy I worked with took a hand full of gunpowder and dropped it by the gap at the bottom of the bathroom door while his buddy was in there. He took a spraybomb of B-12 and made a 'fuse' to the charge, and WHOOOOMM!!! Made a whole bunch of smoke, and when the poor fella got up offa the can, and come out, smoke was coming out of his hair, his clothes, etc...

I'll never forget him coming thru the bathroom door, buckling his belt, smoke rolling out, saying "Ya sons a b!+c#&$!! Damn y'all's time! I declare!!!Ya sons a...."
