Post your stupid human stories

Anything goes.

Yes, it's a copyperson thread!

My father in law is one of the sweetest people, but sometimes I wonder what he's thinking.

Here are just two crazy things he's done..

1. He was putting gutters up on his house. And a bee landed on his head. He had a hammer in one hand, nothing in the other, and when he hit the bee he used the hand with the hammer. And after all he said was, "did I get the bee"?

2. He needed new carpets in his house, so my husband and I go over to measure for him, and notice his carpets looked different. He sat there with a smile like the cat that ate the canary. When we asked what he'd done, he told us, (very proudly) that he didn't have to put out the money to buy new carpet he spray painted his old carpet.

spray painted the carpet?:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

...and my folks had this BIG indoor/outdoor thermometer in
their window. I wanted to see how high it would go, so I took
it out of the window and put it on top of this old MONSTER
furnace we had to heat the house.
.
It melted. It melted REAL good.
.
Even that young, my mind was this scientific steel trap. If
the FURNACE caused it to melt, I could return it to its normal
size and shape by putting it in the freezer. And I had plenty
of time to do this so that, by the time they got home, they
would never know just what I had done.
.
Checked it every two minutes or so.
.
Didn't work, but I kept hoping that the thermodynamic magic
would kick in and suddenly SNAP it back into shape -- right
up to the point when they walked in the door.
.
Damn you, Science! Damn you for the heartless wretch you are!!!

.
I actually wanted to BE a scientist... but I couldn't take it
seriously enough.

opened so buckets of water could be thrown out on the people below. On my team was a guy named Chuck. I found a fire fighting tank outside (like a knapsack that contains water attached to a hose with a pump action nozzle). I put it on Chuck. He turned into a transformer and was about to attack the other team with his orange get up. Orange? Wasn't there an orange chain saw hardhat, earphones and wire mesh face mask (all in one piece) under the cottage. I ran down underneath the cottage, got it an put it on Chuck. He truly looked like some superhero from the comic books. I think we won the water-fight that day.LOL!
