LOL's! Yikes Tom!

Not pointing any fingers at anyone but myself....looking back....I'm having trouble differentiating stupidity from the things that I think are funny now.

1. Me and my buddys use to bundle up with 3 or 4 coats.....and shoot each other with pellets guns.....Yikes!!!

2. At an early age I was fascinated with electricity. Stuck a copper box staple in an electric socket at school....hmmm... school must have had shoddy electric circuits....lost all of the power to the school. Still puzzles me today.

3. More related to the thread....my first vehicle in '83 was a 53 Chevrolet pickup. I knew early on that I was fascinated with valve overlap.....guess I should say the sound of valve overlap. Use to drive that thing around with 2 plug wires pulled. Duh.....was I cool or what. LOL's.

4. I'd be here all day telling on myself....I'll leave the rest to your imagination. I've got some even better ones on my dad.....from when he grew up on a grain farm in the Dakota's. He and his two brothers were regular hellions.

Speaking of fences, it is possible to learn from friends! We were building our first street rod in high school. My buddy stepped out behind the barn to relieve himself. When he came back in he was visibly upset. He told me to be careful not to pee on the electric fence behind the barn.....then rubbed his crotch and moaned for the next couple hours.

beings the youngest boy of the family, i was told by my older to pee over this wire in the back of this shed, that it would make my you know grow, then there is the time I took my last drink ( over 32 years ago)
a friend and I were doing this quick turns on the middle of this paved road
on my 68 roadrunner like the state patrol did on TV.(highway patrol) some of
you many remember bad thing was we were impaired,got stopped
by the statey which he let me know he clocked at better then 85, so now we
are on our way to the slamer which was over a 30 minute drive, and I HAVE
to go, took the statey I had to go, he said you'll just have to wait!! well when we got to the jail, he said ,there is the restroom,I just clamly said thank but I don't have to go anymore he replied..you SON OF

NOT AS BAD AS PEEING ON A ELECTRIC FENCE LIKE I DID ONCE

Another real stupid thing I did was to drive out on a lake with my 56 chevy on to what was origionally 14" of ice. Guys would hang on to my real bumper and I would go as fast as I could which wasn't very fast on ice. Soon we had other cars join in the "fun" and we all got to drinking beer and you know where that led to. Now we were all around 17 at the time and having a ball when the car next to me, a 58 chevy convertible went through the ice into about 4' of water. They got out OK, but the ice started cracking around me and then the cops showed up and we must have tossed a case of beer into the water. Guess what my father did to me????? Lost my car for about a month and had to help the guys who 58 went in the drink, pull the engine, seats, and just about everything else to get them back to as normal as we could. Had to admit, even today in writing this I still shake my head at the things we did.

So you have only driven a great car once?

I did so many stupid things as a teenager in a car I wouldn't even know where to start....LOL! Here's one instance.....

One night after our high school football game I was across from the school in a lot and I started doing doughnuts while not knowing that a police officer was in the traffic at the school. So the police officer rushes over to where I am. Well I knew all of the county and state officers because I volunteered for the local rescue squad and worked with them and plus they hung around our station a lot.

The officer was pissed at me because I put him on the spot in front of everyone and he chewed me a new one. So not only did I piss off someone that I knew, but I also got my rear end jumped in front of all kinds of witnesses.

The next time I decided to do doughnuts, I made sure there wasn't a lot of people around while I was doing it.......LOL!
