X-ray vision sunglasses to see through people's clothes - ordered from the back of a comicbook.

Very disappointing.

While traveling in Canada, my wife asked me why they called it "Niagara Falls". I told her it was because in American Indian, "Niagara" means "Great Water".

I worked in a lot of bars over the years and we used to get the new people through various ways. We'd often send them to other competing bars to obtain items that "we were out of." Some that come to mind at the moment are...

A bucket of steam for the dishwasher
soda bubbler
laser fluid
ice mix- always made sure to infom that this would burn if it cam into contact with their skin
glass hammer

We'd also get people to spend hours getting all the limes out of the Corona bottles. Good fun for all, it's amazing how people won't question anything when they are eager to please.

Of course I never fell for any of this when I was new.

at my construction job, (water and sewer installation) we used to mess with the newbies a bunch....happenned to me too.
Somethings we told them to get:

1) The plutonium ("it's in the wheelbarrow"..."there is one already openned") for the leveller

2) the checkered spray paint

3) the double bladed shovel (and then someone would SCREAM at them for bringing a normal shovel).

4) If we'd have to dig up a pipe, one of the pipe layers would yell "go get the reverse shovel". THAT was my favorite.

in the end, turned out the joke was on them for working a shitty job for the rest of their life....
but...
now it turns out the joke is BACK on me cause they're making hand over fist cash.

The construction site noob jokes always crack me up the most. Was recently working as a roofing sub contractor and we had a school drop-out come work for us as a labourer. He was sent to the plumbers on-site to ask for a 'long weight'. The plumbers said they didn't have one but told him to ask the chippies who sent him to the sparkies and then to the painters.

I used to think the capital city of Saskatchewan was named after a part of a woman's anatomy.

Oh, I thought of one. Mega doses of Vitamin C will cure a common cold. Tried it a few times back in high school. First time it seemed to work wonders. But never after. Placebo effect. Most vitamins are water soluble. Beyond the RDA (about 60 mg in the case of vitamin C), your body doesn't use it. Doesn't store it. It just pisses it away. People who take mega vitamins only end up having the most expensive urine in the world.

More army silliness.
Fresh out of boot camp, I was told it's routine maintenance to tap around on your tank
with a ball peen hammer.. checking for soft spots in the armor.


OFF topic: But since I'm reminiscing..
My first time driving my new tank, I was totally lost. The onboard intercom wasn't so good, either.
I thought my TC (tank commander) was cursing me. I kept hearing, "*beep*!"
Turns out he was telling me to, "SHIFT!"
I thought the thing had an automatic transmission, and almost blew it up!

some years back, it had just hit midnight, and i was dozing off listening to radio. The DJ said there was a news flash, a huge asteroid was flying toward earth and was going to cause chaos and destruction.
that woke me up

i believed it for a while until i realised it was april 1.
