And then there is the classic. I cannot even begin to count the number of times I have pulled this on someone.
I always carried an AWL around with me while working in the factory that I worked at.
1.Find an unsuspecting schmuck
2.Grab his can of pop (or beverage) when he's not looking.
3.Take the awl and make a hole @ 1 inch below the drinking hole. Make it low enough so the guy lower lip doesn't seal up the hole when he tips it up.
4.Enjoy watching them figure out what the h3ll is going on!!!!
5.You can do this with a pen but it usually dents the can from the pressure being put on it. A awl that's been sharpened on the belt sander is just the ticket.![]()
I get a really good laugh out of this every time I read it. Only because I've been there too.the tow story wasnt a prank but it was dang funny if you would have been there.
Same friend back then had a 6000 el tigre all built to the hilt, twin pipes,carbs, porting,etc and he beat alot of bigger sleds back then. Well he kept that sled for alot of years because he wasnt beat very often, into the mid 90's. I had a 1993 thundercat back then, we were all out riding and went to a small airstrip we have here to race and fool around. He beat alot of newer sleds but he of course couldnt hold a candle to a 900 triple, it wasnt expected to.
Anyways, he blows the thing up racing. So I hooked on the tow strap and began to tow him home. The roads were awesome shape that night and instead of taking the trails decided to just run the roads. Well......, after a little bit of running those awesome hard pack roads I kinda forgot after a little bit that I was towing him home. I kinda got all wrapped up with how nice the roads were and gave the thunderkitty the throttle.
I just so happen got my train of thought back and said oh crap hope hes ok back there...looked back to see him literally like a kite on the end of the tow rope,...lmao, he was wavin his hands and making not so nice gestures. I pulled over and I honestly forgot about him because the thundercat pulled it like it was a feather.
He cussed at me for months, it was so dang funny that thing was swaying back there from side to side and barely at times touching the snow, he hung on the whole time...LMAO!!! He didnt seem to think me saying that was likely faster then the old el tigre had ever been anyways, and something like now you know what a 100mph feels like....LOL!!
If the shoe was on the other foot, I would bailed off the towed sled and said screw it....LMAO!!!

Mine.... I was the tow vehicle in a big 81 Blizzard and the sled I was towing was a Spitfire. Just like you, he still reminds me of it. Gotta make us smile.thats sled was real close to be called a kite!...lmao,, it was hilarious at least from my end!
The last two post helped me remember.
My son did this one. A new mechanic got hired a got ALL of the gravy jobs when cars came in to get worked on. He finally got tired of it and drilled a hole in the back of the new guys toolbox. Just big enough for a zerk. One night before the shop guys left, he slipped the locking(sideways) head to the grease gun which is hooked up to 30 gallon bulk grease drum. Hooked it up to the zerk and then zip-stripped the trigger so it started pumping and then punched out for the day. The guy quit the next day.

That must be a popular prank among mechanics. Sounded identical.See post 15
