Funny Guy At Work
Yesterday at work I heard one of the tech's trucks pull into the lot,and a couple minutes later he comes into the office to get some paperwork signed.
On his way out of the office he stops by my desk and says "Dude,what's wrong with your car?"
Nothing that I know of...
"Oh,so it always does that?"
Does What?? I ask
"looks like it might be dripping something" he says.
So I get up to go out and see what he's talking about,and when I get to the parking lot,there's what appears to be about a gallon of something running out from under the front end of my Vette.
WTF? (I'm already going over radiator prices in my head)
So I go over to pop the hood and check it out,and notice that he's not following me out to the car, he is instead back in the office ,Laughing his a$$ off!
When he finally composed himself,he said "Do you remember about 2 years ago when you hid those mothballs in the back of my van? (I remember it fine,and it was Really,Really funny,at the time...)
I said yeah,but I thought you already paid me back for that?
"Not all the way--Now we're even"
I've gotta admit,he got me good,and I guess I deserved it.
"You know" he said ,"that Vette is so low,It's a real pain reaching under there with a Big Gulp cup to pour out the water."
I told him to let me know ahead of time next time,and I'd jack it up a bit so it's not so difficult for him....
I've gotta admit,it was pretty funny.

Pranks are usually funnier when you're the one playing them. 
Glad you have a good sense of humor.

I bought a new 2002 Ram Air Trans Am and had a couple of warrenty issues with it and some other issues that had me very upset.
Had a few friends over for a small party and told a buddy about my latest issue with that car.
I finally had all the issues fixed and the next day I backed the car out of the garage to leave and there was a huge puddle of Transmission fluid on the garage floor. Called my buddy to tell him about the car having yet another issue and after couple of minutes he started laughing.
He had reached under the car the night before during the party and poured the ATF under it. He got me good.
