Let me start with something I witnessed in the mid 80's.
There was a large, discount athletic shoe store on my UPS route that I delivered to daily.
I was in there early one morning when the sons of the owners, 18 and 25, who actually ran the store for their parents, showed me a battery toy they had just bought.
Just then, a Nike salesman, about 30, came by on his monthly rounds.
He had 2 duffel bags with sample shoes, probably about 10 or 12 in each bag, and all size 9 left.
The older brother said, "Stick around and watch this."
While I stood back, they started talking to him about the samples and looking at them.
After a bit, they distracted him and removed one of the shows and replaced it with the battery toy.
Then they asked him to see that shoe again.
The salesman lifted the cover and reached in.
His face went pure white, then blue as his legs collapsed under him.
While this was happening, he put his right hand to his chest.
I was about 20 feet away and I thought he was having a heart attack.
The brothers grabbed him as his legs buckled and held him up.
Eventually, he came around.
He laughed about it, but what else could he do, he was working on commission and needed the shoe sales.

So, what was this battery toy that terrorized him so much?
That morning, the older brother had bought a very realistic and life-sized hand with the fingers and wrist moving by battery power.
I expect it appeared to the salesman that the hand was reaching out to him.

Now, how about some stories by some of you?

Isn't this better than politics and religion?

When I was in junior high school our lunch room was in the gym on a lower level. I had taken an old rubber hot water bottle that we had and filled it with beef stew. I put it down my shirt and walked down the steps. When I reach the bottom I bent over squeezing the hot water bottle spewing beef stew all over the floor making a puking sound at the same time. It only took about two minutes and half the kids in the lunch room were puking.

Depends on one's definition of "over the top"...lol. Sr prank in H.S.(coincidentally same as Franco Harris(yes that Franco)...we tp'd the roof of the main building...with a twist tho. "Borrowed" several outhouses(potty-johns)from the gym field and hoisted them up top also.

Well a young lady that used to drink at our local back in England used to wear a tight figure hugging jump suit brilliant white and she had a gorgeous tan. one hot summers day she came in behind me with a friend whilst I was being served at the bar. on turning round I was greeted by the sight of two gorgeous half melons as her zip was somewhat open. I looked back at the landlord and asked for the ice bucket he asked why and passed it to me, I took a good handful of cubes turned and dropped them right between the two melons.
And yes I'm still alive.

Your story reminds me of the time I was in the lift (elevator) at work with a lady I worked with. Now, we had been for a lunchtime drink (those were the days) and there was just the two of us so I asked here whether she had ever had her breasts weighed. She agreed that she hadn't so I cupped each one and said, "way hay". I was ready to duck but surprisingly didn't need to - and we did get married.

On a flight from the USA to Vietnam in the mid to late 60's we stopped in Guam to pick up some troops. Our stewardess was a real biatch so right after lunch, we did this. At the store at the military airport, we bought goodies, snack etc and 1 guy bought tin of dinty moore beef stew.

3 seats, window, middle and aisle right ?

We were served lunch on the way to Japan, our next stop.

Window - guy opens the beef stew and empties it into the air sick bag. Then rests his head on the tray table.

Middle - Me. I hold the bag and ring for the stewardess.

When she arrives, I look into the bag and say "He didn't hold it too good" and hand the bag to the guy on the aisle seat.

Aisle Seat - he takes the bag but before handing it to the stewardess, reaches in with his his fingers, drags out some of the stew, which of course is cold and sort of coagulated, looking absolutely terrible and raises it to his mouth, puts it into his mouth and say's "Damn, that tastes better than the actual lunch, and it's warm."

The stewardess barfed in the aisle and the adjacent passengers barfed with her.

The 3 of us were invited off the plane in Japan by MPs and given a talking to. We left to get back on the plane while we heard the MPs laughing their asses off.

Reminds me of the time my brother and I went out on one of the fishing charter boats in Brigantine NJ. Out in the rough deep water, when we noticed two Oriental guys in the bow. We could see they weren't handling the chop too well. So what we two brothers do? Went up into the bow, and started eating our Philly subs is what. Fish got to experience a new type of chum that day...lol

I couldn't think of one till I read this.

A friend of mine back about 30 or more years ago told me his brother had taken chunky peanut butter and mixed in some chocolate, and placed a nice wad of the mixture in the gap in front of the heel of his shoe, and then went into the maternity ward of the local hospital where a bunch of nervous, expectant fathers were sitting around. He crossed his leg and showed off the bottom of his shoe till he was sure it had been seen by most of the guys in the room.

He then acted as if to notice it himself and proceeded to wipe a bit with his finger and smelled it, looking a bit puzzled he then licked his finger. I was told the waiting room pretty much emptied as these guys tried to make the restroom before loosing their collective lunches.
