Thread Name: BS: Weird things you did when you were a kid
Subject: RE: BS: Weird things you did when you were a kid
Trevor's posting got to me! I also need to FESS UP! All the stupid little pranks I did as a kid were just child's play compared to what I did (still do) as an adult. Like:

When I was in the Army and being 26, and 6 of us stole (borrowed) a real live locomotive, drove it five miles down the track, parked it and hiked back;

When I was being 36, a bunch of us picked up our bosses little tiny car, carried into the public works shop, and set it down, crosswise to his office door, and went home. As I was being the City carpenter, he called me at midnight and strongly suggested that I come to work and remove a wall so he could get his car out and drive home!;

When I installed a new office door for my paranoid boss. He was convinced that everyone was spying on him. I made sure that the entire crew had a new key for his office door;

When another boss got a brand new car and was bragging about the great mileage. I started sneaking out to the parking lot at noon and adding gas to his tank. Soon he was getting 50 and 60 miles to the gallon. Then, bastard that I am, I STOPPED! His mileage suddenly dropped to 20 MPG and he freaked out!;

Oh well, I think I've carried on enough for now. Besides I just got this GREAT IDEA and I gotta' go. CHEERS, Bob
