When Practical Jokers Quit their jobs...

So today is my last day as a fuel cell design engineer and I just got out of a seemingly pointless meeting with my boss to find everyone looking out the window at my car...






Now I understand the point of the meeting...

Hahaahah. That's hilarious.

right..since I didn't have a pic, I then edited out the peanuts part of this post, but yeah, I had a guy fill my cab with those things. Even now, if I rummage under the seats or in different hidden spots, I can find one or two of those damned things.

I once had a co-worker fill my '76 Dodge RamCharger full of packing peanuts. That's a lot of volumn to fill!

The following week he found his car on jackstands.

That is hilarious!!

I've been known to take someones steering wheel off, or put about 10 OZ of wheel weights on one side of a tire, or the classic adding a small jug full of trans fluid hooked up to any vacuum line.

I did the packing peanut thing to my brothers Mazda 323 in 1989 when he got married. Until the day he gave it to his father-in-law about 5 years ago, it still occasionally blew little styrofoam chunks out of the vents. I decided not to drive to my wedding.

Years ago in Alaska someone filled a co-workers Chevy truck full of peanuts. She got in and we took some pictures of her chest deep in the peanuts.

Then she started it up...

It was winter time so the heater was on...

It sucked the peanuts into the heating system and it cost her over $100 to have the dash taken apart to get them out.

I'm glad that I didn't do it to her!

To fill up the office, we popped out the ceiling tiles on either side of the wall and poured the peanuts in one garbage can at a time... we had about 10 people involved in a fireman's brigade...

This gives me a great idea for my SVP, tape a bag to his window, and fill it with peanuts, it would look the the whole office was full.

Pour it in through the drop in ceiling tiles from the adjacent office.
