    Was it a rhetorical question?

    I like to blow things up and play with fire.

    I'm in the same boat, the go kart always runs! Nothing like blasting down the ally smoking a cigar in a go kart to let your neighbors know that you are a serious adult. Dry ice bombing pigeons sounds like it might havesome merrit though! Please elaborate...

    Then theres the blowing shit up, like cars, bunkers, shooting everything from a 9mm to 155mm howitzer and then we deployed and got to use it all for real.
    There is, was and never will be a better job.

    Hey,

    " Do for fun", fun? I don't! My shop's for makin' money, when I'm there it's to make MONEY! When I'm not being productive I get away from the shop a.s.a.p.! Fuckin' off at the shop leads to bad habits that leads to more bad habits that leads to a life I don't ever wanna return to! Besides, people come around 'seein' me hosein' the pooch, they think they're bein charged for my fuckin' off time!
    Now get back to work you slacker!

    We usually just sit around and talk BS (whether it be cars, women, or other things males discuss while in the company of each other) while we are not working. Might as well throw in goofing off for good measure. We have a lot of fun in between having fun.

    We have a billboard right outside the shop walk thru door, customers always like to bring the cars back and park right under the billboard... and hence COMPLETELY covered in pigeon shit... so one day we decide to try and get rid of them...

    Take a 20oz, or liter plastic soda/pop/coke(think I covered all regional slang)... takes longer on liter... we throw a rope over catwalk of billboard...tie something to it... lower it and tie around neck of bottle... take small pieces of dry ice 3 or 4, we have little pieces about the diameter of your little finger will barely slide into bottle... fill 1/3 full with water... screw on cap, quickly hoist to cat walk and cover ears...

    Dry ice melting by water causes gas build up in bottle til it expands and explodes... careful for duds they can blow your damn hand to pieces plus completely screw your ears... and most of the time be ready to have cops come by to see if you heard gun shots... dispose of bottles before they get there...

    Not us but...Kids don't try this at home...

  28. Ha ha, I remember doing that with liquid nitrogen and small plastic bottle when I was in the Army. We would throw the bottle in someones office (Usually HQ) and bolt. It would scare the crap out of them!!
