Can techs take a joke?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge of car mechanics, but what the heck is this supposed to accomplish?

Another fave of mine is to tie a rubber glove around the drive shaft of the car.

Probably makes a funny flippy noise.

I've never done this but I'd imagine it would make one heck of a noise as you were driving. Kinda like taping a card to your bike near the spokes when you were a kid.

If you tie it so that one end hangs down, it beats the bottom of the car, the faster you go, the faster the driveshaft turns and the faster the noise gets. when they stop to check it out, the is a good chance they will not notice, because the noise stops.

Well, I bought one of these and already pranked some of my friends - so far I always managed to recover it, but one of these days I'm gonna be so pissed at someone that I'll stick it further into the tailpipe!

Had one of those in my tailpipe after wedding. Took me less than 10 yards to notice it & yank it out with my pliers.

I glued the old guy's favorite coffee mug to the desk with super glue and left it over night. The cup was one with the desk. Later that day i saw him comming down the street to i swirved towards him, he did the same. We dam well near hit. Great minds think alike!

After the cell phone ban we had to get hands free sets for the cars. One guy got a visor clip thats basically a speaker phone. He pulls up to a coffee drive thru, and goes this will be a experience for you. I hear the lady asking for his order and he gets a large coffee. I spoke rather loudly into the phone, "WITH EXTRA DICK".
There was total silence and then i hear "you ass".

The old guy used to carry a ton of tools in his case which made it rather heavy. The guys took all the tools out and put a small chunk of rail way iron we had been using as a door stop in his kit. He then went on a call and came back after a little annoyed

I often heard the older techs where I used to work speaking about placing one (or more, if space allowed) heavy 60ppm fuser roller on the bottom of a tool case of another tech - without taking the tools out, so I can only guess how long it was before he noticed it.

When I worked at a Weber carburetor plant, this old set up man got out of his car one morning and left it running while he went in to work. It ran for hours. After that, we would steal his car keys and go out 5 minutes before he got off and start his car. He would come out and think his car had been running all day.

If you know a guy who loves his car a little too much, get a little can of motor oil, and every place he parks, make a little puddle under the motor and for good measure splash a little on the motor. See how long it takes him to find the leak.

When I worked in the steel plant, I welded a guys tool to the steel work table.

Okay, this one was described to me by the same guy who told me about the fuser-rollers-on-the-toolcase that I mentioned before. I must warn you that it is very explicit and, if you don't like stuff involving male genitalia, please pass on this one.

I'm going to try and tell it in exactly the same way he told me - and I'm sorry if my english isn't enough to convey the exact message.

So, there are three technicians on the shop: one of them is working on a machine and the other two are behind him observing the job being done. So, one of the two guys behind the working one grabs his screwdriver and rubs the handle in the asshole area of the guy bending over the machine - who immediately, without looking back, slaps the screwdriver handle out of his ass and starts saying something like "Hey, stop it!".

A couple of minutes go by, and again the playful dude uses his screwdriver and rubs the handle in the working man's ass - who, now more than a little pissed off, and again without looking back, grabs the handle and turns it away with a "I told you to STOP it!".

Another couple of minutes go by. Now, the screwdriver guy blinks to his other colleague. He then proceeds to unzip his own pants, takes out his erect manhood and rubs it against the other guy's ass - who, again without looking, goes and grabs it. When he feels that hot sweaty thing in his hand, hell breaks loose.

I never got to know what happened then, but I've been told that the guy was more than a little upset.

WTH!?

While tuna fishing in the Aussie Bight for months on end, the pranks would get pretty loose. Majority or the deckies didnt like climbing the 50ft cable ladder to the crows nest, so this was obviously the best spot to hide someone's bedding. Make ice cubes from vinegar for the wogs vino, (they didnt even notice, so much for lovers of fine wine.) Hang a heavy one inch nut from some fishing line behind the wall panel of a bunk, everytime the ship rocks side to side, the nut belts the crap out of the wall just above their head. Marbles in drawers, grease, just put it fukn anywhere (engineers earmuffs are the best,)

Create a new shortcut on the desktop to shutdown the computer. Change the icon and the name to Internet Explorer. Delete actual IE shortcut and ur done.

1. Change keyboard from QWERTY to Dvorak.
2. Take screenshot - save as wallpaper -move all desktop icons to a new folder, placed directly over the top of an existing folder. Mouse works fine but nothing happens when you click

Been there done that.

On the good old Windows95 times, there was this cute program that would reverse the mouse movements (up goes down, left goes right, etc). At the time I was in high-school, but we would do these LAN parties where, when taking a break between quake and duke3d, we would share our folders and swap stuff around - some of the most popular stuff was - you guessed it - porn. Since, at the time, internet was something still only available for a selected few, those lan parties were the only place were we could update our - ahem! - databases.

So I grabbed this .exe, tucked it amonst my pron files and renamed it after a famous star of the time - pamela.exe - and sat behind my monitor giggling like a girl while, one by one, my friends would say "Hey, there's a Pamela file over her- HEY, WHAT THE F***??!?"

Wonder if there's something like that for Vista/7...
