I got to watch the San Diego FD do that to a new Corvette back in the late 70s. The owner was fit to be tied, and eventually was, as he tried to attack the firemen.
I got a bandaid in a spinach salad at a fancyfancy steak restaurant in Des Moines about 30 years ago. I would have forgotten completely about it, except the bandaid wasn't new. It looked like somebody's middle finger. And it got infected.
I was, uh, rather upset, because I rather enjoyed the first half of that salad...
Back in the days when I worked as a call firefighter, our fire department had to do that one more than one occasion. All but one of the offending vehicles suffering such a fate had out-of-state plates. (The one with in-state plates was a rental car probably driven by someone from out of state.)
#1 Been there, sort of. Commercial job and I was pushing a flat cart with several 5 gal. Buckets of paint down a ramp. About halfway down, hit a crack in the concrete ramp and one of the buckets came off, the pour spout shooting away with the impact and the damn bucket rolled the rest of the way to the bottom gurgling paint with every rotation. At the bottom, the bucket stopped with the pour spout pouring paint. What a mess. Hard to clean wet paint off of concrete.
Always wanted to do #3. Never got the chance.....

Delete10. Along came a spider and sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muffet away!

3 will teach you not to park in front of a hydrant. I have seen it done twice. Not pretty!

ReplyDelete#3 for the win. And put a hose coupling in the middle of the car - dripping a little...
ReplyDeleteStupid should hurt, or at least be very expensive.

A hole and the bottle of perfume that made it.
