    Not really stupid but I thought it was pretty funny afterward.When I was younger and still lived with my parents they were out of town for a week for vacation well we had been plagued by Jehovahs witness's there lately and I was always nice to them but was getting aggravated with how much they had been coming by.I had stayed home from school one day and was sleeping late and I always slept naked well I get woken up by the door bell so I go to ignore it thinking it was the witness's again after about 5 minutes I get so pissed I jump out of bed still nude and go to cuss one of them out I yank the front door open and yell out "look you S.O.B" it was my little sister and 2 of her girlfriends who got out of school early that day and didnt have a key to the door.I didnt know she was getting out early because she had been staying at her friends house.Needless to say I slammed that door back pretty quick til I could put on some boxers.We still laugh about it.

    We had 2 fairly expensive bicycles listed in the paper for sale. They were leaning up against the deck. Wife was shoveling snow off the deck so I asked her to move them so that the snow would not damage them. She moved them over and leaned them up against the back of the truck. Later I went to move the truck and felt some resistance backing up. Thinking it was some snow I just gave the truck a little more gas and overpowered the resistance. Yup the resistance was the bicycles, wasn't much left of them, told everyone that called about them that they had been sold. She still tells this story, over 15 years later.

    If I knew then, what I know now.

    I had deemed my old truck ready for retirement (Tools - I told you what we used to do to "retired" vehicles) so we had a few freinds over for the party. Sitting around the front deck (might have been tipping a few brewskies) we had the mini-14, M1 Garand, a friend Desert Eagle and the venerable 10/22 of course. We prbably off-loaded 3-400 rounds into poor ol truck and I decided it was time for some BIG holes. I go inside, we were living in a trailer at the time, and got the 12ga slug gun out. Loaded full mag and while still in the (small) spare room jacked one into the chamber and, Yup ... BLAM !!!!! in a closed 8x10 room touched off a 12ga 3" mag slug. Made my head spin ... Momma made us put the guns away after that

    Summer of 1967 when I was 13 I was living with my Grandmother in a small community that still had outside johns. We were getting ready to go somewhere and I had tied my sister to a tree indian style and just left her there. When my Grandmother asked me what was keeping my sister I said she was tied up. Grandmother thought she was in the outhouse. Well she wasn't.

    When I was 16, two friends and I were going to a lake to spend the weekend. It was about midnight when we went through a flashing yellow caution light on a rural intersection. We got out and started taking pot shots at the flashing yellow with a old .36 black powder revolver. About the second shot, a county deputy turned on his headlights and overheads. He was sitting in the dark waiting for people to run the flashing red going east/west. It took him a minute to figure out what we were doing until he saw the flames come out of the barrel. Needless to say, he took us to the sheriffs office, called our parents and gave us the speech of a lifetime. Eventually our parents came and got us. The deputy kept the revolver, but it was never on our records. I think now how different my life would have been if this deputy wasn't so understanding.

    I must tell you about TOOLS, He was originaly from Indiana and it is flat. you could spit in a strong wind and it would get to the other side. Well lets also mention that he used to be a Trucker too. well He was trailoring his pride and joy [makes his life compleet] car 92 chevy camaro 25th anniversary edition z28. [only has 1,ooo. miles, really!] To south Carolina where I had been transfered. we pulled into a campground and he was looking around for a place he could park "the Car" He ran over a metal steak and poped the tire on the truck with "THE CAR" on it.The park people wanted it moved right away He was so mad. SOOOO he was yelling how this was the worst trip he had ever been on as he began to release the trailor from the truck so he could change the tire. It would not come off so he jumped on to the truck bumper to loosen it, cussing the whole time! I was about to tell him he needed to put a block under the tire [I'm from calif. Lots of mountains] WEll his tirade of me was only louder so I didnot even try to get a word in! It poped off and began to move......Thus it began a decent slowly at first but no way to stop it HE began to Pray! It was the first time I ever heard him pray I was dumb enough to try to grab hold but it was useless I let go to the words Repeated over and over Oh God Oh God Oh God. I really think He meant it too! THe trailor picked up speed and down it flew, The thing dissapeared into some bushes and then a cracking was heard and the Whole thing tiped and fell into a ravine. WE were still, very still just looking at where it had taken away the landscape and left a big hole [and I can tell you he really is a white man]! we went to the edge and there it was lights looking up at us still strapped down to the trailor. WE then had the guy doing some dozer work at the park to hook on and pull it up . It had fallen and was being held up buy a pine tree growing strait out from the ravine wall. I was ammazed that It did not flop over upside down into the bottom !!!Boy do I think he is a lucky man God must have been listening!
    THe dumb thing I did was [When he was gone} while doing 125 down the road in front of our house and I put the breaks on to hard , and spun "THE CAR" into the ditch. I scraped the front side up and flat spotted all the tires. [Did you know that new tires can cost up to 2000 $ I am not allowed to come near it any more! He is SOOOOO fussy!

    Had to fix the driver's side door-latch on my car, it was winter, so I pulled it into my parents' (1 car) garage to be out of the wind. Took the door panel off, found the trouble, bent a rod or something, got it all working great, went to back out, back window was steamed up, opened the door to peek out just as I was going past the jamb. "Plink!" Knocked the door handle right off. Used the passenger door until spring.

    I'm not sure if this would fall under the category of stupid or alcohol influenced lunacy. Here goes. Several years back, while still living in Texas, I did all the cooking in my parents restaurant. A regular that came in was planning a cookout for some of his better customers, and wanted me to do the grilling. Chuck was a blacksmith and did the shoes on the horses of quite a few people in the area. To return the kindness of the ones that treated him best was the reason for the cookout. When he mentioned the idea to one of them, they shot a wild pig for him to add to the menu. We also had chicken, beer, assorted links and sausages, beer, and burgers for the few kids that were there. Did I say there was beer? We got to where we were going to have the cookout early in order to make sure the pig would be done in time. I started cooking it about nine in the morning so it would be ready later that afternoon. Naturally a person can't cook without having a beer. So Chuck and I started early. By the time most of the people he invited got there we were both pretty loaded. Did I mention there was beer? As the last of the invited showed up, I put the rest of the feast on the grill. When things were ready to turn, I started with the links and burgers first, and saved the chicken pieces for last. Grabbed a fresh beer before turning the chicken, and half way through doing that...one got stuck on the fork. Nothing I tried would make it come off. Not thinking to set my beer down and use my what would have been free hand, I looked to see that everyone was preoccupied and proceeded to push the piece off with my foot. The moment I did there was a loud burst of laughter from BEHIND me. It was Chuck. Did I mention I had been drinking beer? Realizing I had been busted big time, I started laughing hysterically also. When everyone turned to see what was so funny, we told them to have another beer. We did have beer, didn't we? I don't remember. Needless to say, that piece ended up mine.

    About 10 years ago or so our company picnic was held at AstroWorld in Houston. We had a pavilion place with a BBQ pit reserved and everyone was going thru the line getting their plates and going to sit down at the tables.These tables are the kind that have a bench seat on each side of the table and all 3 pieces are connected by pipes,you know the kind.I'm 6'4" and weigh 275 lbs.,my wife is much shorter of course and weighed about 200 lbs..You guessed it,she was sitting on one side of the table and I walked around to join her and sat down right next to her with no one sitting across from us.We both flipped over backwards and I was still holding on to my plate and as we hit the concrete on our backs my plate of food flew backwards over me out into the crowd and before I knew it a loud 4 letter word JUMPED out my mouth.I thought my wife would actually kill me right there.We still talk about that when the subject of your most embarressing moment comes up.

    This one is pretty recent...
    After lunch it was about time to make my daily stop at Men's room. All but the handicapped stall was full, so I darted in and quickly shut the door. Much to my chagrin, the toilet was filled a putrid concoction that I won't go into detail about. I held my breath leaned over and gave the handle a kick.
    BLOOP.
    The water began to rise.
    "OH GOD!"
    This can't be good. I desperately scanned the stall for a plunger but no such luck. I backed away thinking "IT'S GONNA STOP! IT'S GONNA STOP!".
    It didn't stop.
    The diarrhea fountain overflowed and began making it's way into the side stalls. Panic rushed through my brain and the only thing I could think of was... "RUN LIKE HELL"
    Run I did, and it was a good thing too. Judging from the explicatives and yells coming from the neighboring stalls I would have surely been a dead man.

    when i was 15 i got a old datsun pickup truck from a family friend, and spend the summer fixing it up. after everything was done i just had to take it out for a ride! no license, no isurance, and no parents at home, i invited my buddy to go for a test ride. well at the end of the road they were install a large storm sewer, very very large cement pipes, some had just been delivered and the end sunk in to the mounted dirt. well it look like a tunnel to me! i drove the truck up inside a piece of this large pipe, and the pipe started to rollllllll away. it stopped when it bumped in to a large rock, with us sitting in the truck at about 45 angle from the ground! we could not open the doors far enough to get out so we went out the windows into the bed, and out the tailgate. as i was standing there looking at this, thinking i should mess my pants, but could not due to the great pucker factor, along came the police.
    oh! did i mention that my father was also a officer on this dept.!!
    the officer got out and started to ask why i was out walking so late at this end of the road, when he saw the truck in the pipe. he did a did a second take and justed started laughing so hard he had to lean on the car hood. everytime he would look at me and then the truck in the pipe he would start laughing again!! i had tears running down my face and laughing at the same time. my friend just stood there and kept repeating, "i can't believe YOU did that". oh, did i forget to say the truck was still running inside the pipe! after about ten minutes of laughing the officer said,"well! what do you what to do now!" and my buddy spoken up and said "why the hell are you asking him, he's the dummy that put in the pipe." well, the laughing started again. by this time 2 other patrol cars showed up, and more laughing came with that arrival. by this time i'm getting sick! and was waiting for them to call/page my dad. well, they did not call my father, the five of us pushed the pipe over little by little blocking it every few inches until it was back in the position that i drove it to it at. we blocked both sides very good and pushed the truck back out of the pipe using a 4x6 behind the wheels for a brake. we got it out and they drove it home and parked it in the drive behind my dads unmarked car. when mom and dad got home and saw the truck parked out front and the muddy tires on it, he just came up and said, "better tell me now, before i here from the guys". after he got done laughing, and mom got done telling us how we could of killed ourselves if it had rolled over and into the ditch, he just said go in the house and think about what just happen. i still get teased about this 25 years later. boy!! , did i have one great father, i miss him!!

    The first date I ever took my wife on was intresting. I had a crush on her for a while and I wanted everything to go perfect. I spent the entire day running around from store to stroe making things look good. The first place we where to go was to get some food. I knew a place that had great food and first rate service. I picked her up and we hit the road. The restaurant was a while away so we drove on our way. Conversation was great and I could feel we where in for a great night. Well, 45 mins into the drive the car started to putt. I looked down and in the middle of no where "We ran out of gas". I felt so stupid. That was the way she looked at me. At the time I did not even have tripple A. I stepped out of the car to keep myself from crying in front of my date and before I could she pulled out her cell and a tripple A card and had a tow truck take us to a gas station. Needless to say I did marry this women and I hear this story every time we are in the same car.

    When I was younger, I did a lot of stupid things. Of course, I was never caught, so we can't go into most of them. But the one thing I don't think I will ever live down happened in high school.
    Our school was set up in a strange manner. It used to be small, but due to subsequent add-ons had worked it's way up to being a three floor monstrosity. Basically, the " 3rd floor " was a hallway, with a few classrooms. All the way across the building, there was another " 3rd floor ". That is, another hallway with a few classrooms.
    Well, I had one class in one hall and the next class was in the other hall. So rather than going down the steps, crossing the school, and then climbing another flight of stairs, I came up with an idea. I could open a window, run across the roof, and head for an open window on the other side. It seemed like a pretty good plan, sp I dove out the window and took off running. It felt kinda strange, like my feet were sinking in, but I kept going. I made it to the other side of the school and ducked into an open window. I caught my breath, and headed to class.
    Honestly, I thought I had gotten away with it. About one-third of the way through class a police officer informed me otherwise. I was hauled out of class and taken to the principle's office. He told me that someone had seen me run across the roof, and that I had also ruined a whole day's work for the construction crew that had been tarring the roof. The only thing that happened to me, outside of embarassment, was a little 40 minute detention.

    One time when Toolbabe and I were liveing in FL. We were going to the beach for the day. And were taking along a cooler with food and drinks. We stoped at a gas station to get a bag of ice. I forgot to break up the ice befor dumping it. So the lid would not close. With out missing a beat Toolbabe grabed a bottel of ketchup. And Swung as hard as she could. Instantly we were covered in ketchup along with the car the inside of the trunk. And even the car next to us.
    I looked over at Toolbabe and she was just staring at the bottel. She looked up at me and with a puzzled look on her face, Said" It says its unbreakable."

    On Thanksgiving about 25 years ago, I was at my future Brother in Law's home. The entire family was there and as it was muddy out, we all were in our stocking feet to cut down on tracking anything through the house.

    My wife (girlfriend at the time) was seated across from me. During grace I slid my foot over and try to play some footsie with her. During the meal I did this several times. I was surprised that she did not react or respond in any way and figured she was just in a reserved mood or something. Just before the pumpkin pie was served, I tried one more time and my future brother in law finally busted out laughing and announced to all at the table how much he appreciated my attention throughout the meal and perhaps I might like to try the set of feet to the left of where he was seated....Talk about embarassed.

    One time I was going to help a friend Toolbudy do some work on his truck. It was Saturday morning, and he came by to pick me up. We were going to his welding shop to do the work.
    My stepson Toolboy wanted to come with us. on the way to the shop we stoped for breakfest. As we were leaving the resturent Toolboy saw a hubcap laying in the parking lot. So Toolbudy stoped the car and Toolboy jumped out and ran for the hubcap. You would have thought he found gold. It had been cold the night before and there was some ice in the hubcap. With out missing a beat Toolboy set it down and stomped it as hard as he could. Trying to get the ice out. Needless to say he stomped it flat.
