Wrong, I did steal a fire hydrant. Remember kids, just because I posted it doesn't mean I'm proud of it. ;-D


I was 20 or 21 and worked in an electroplating plant. I worked on a graveyard shift with one other person. Our plant was on a dead end road with a street light at the end of the road that was about the only security light we had. The plant had industrial gold so we were always a little worried about working by ourselves in the plant. One night, the street light burned out leaving much of our outside area in the dark. We called the City for weeks trying to get the light replaced and nothing happened. One night, my co worker and I noticed a brand new fire hydrant on the ground under the burned out street light. We decided that if we stole the fire hydrant, the city would replace the light. So we stole it (put in in the trunk of my girlfriend's car - and that is another story) and guess what? The light got replaced. One thing I should add is that fire hydrants are extremely heavy so if you plan on stealing one bring some strong people. ;-D

Hey, don't worry, FlowJoe, the city not only replaced the light but relaced the fire hydrant. I think it's permanent, what do you think? :)

ok, well ya see..

My friend shellybelly and I went to Mexico, cause her sister was travelling thou with an RV.
We did not know that. Trip was messed up from the beginning. Carrying this damn pup tent for some reason. Had to stop in Guatemala, where people boarded and sang to us. It was New York, New York.
kicking feet in the middle of the plane. My friend was proposed marriage.

Landed in Mexico city. And off to Puerto Vallarta . But not. 20 miles south in a RV campground.

Oh my. Pup tent. Banana Trees. Wet cold, and sharing a pup tent with dog paws all over it. Hey, I fed them.

I still have a little scar on my hand from where she got hit by a car trying to save me all bloody from broken tequila bottle. Yeah. We don't speak about it much anymore :distress:

She got me back by sending me on the most scary parasailing ride ever. Once we finally got to Puerto Vallarta Boat people did not care.
They were the size of pinky fingernail I was up so high.

O my god. She laughed and laughed, Kept yelling 'Pull left' as I was coming in and dying.
People were scattering on the beach, almost hit buildings...

Woke up, mumbled a cab from somewhere. Met up with shellbelly again somehow. I was injured as was she.

She had a man in the room! Just friend. Never to see again. Nice guy that helped her with car accident injury.
( I had helped her days before, because we drank water, she got sick, and I went out and got magic crystals to stick in her ears and belly button) true.
Not to mention that she got stuck in one of those big wicker chairs in a bush during a nice lunch. It rolled over on her. Still a little skittish.

The man in the room showed up months later at her door. All the way from Canada. Just sitting there on the doorstep.

Oh my, she was shocked and I had to introduce myself saying 'guess you met my evil twin'. ack.

I will have to call her to remember what happened after.. Never say, 'I will never see these people again'

I'm gonna say three is the lie...but I have a sneaking suspicion you're going to tell me you saw a UFO. Unless you are being cheeky and are talking about the movie, lol.

Yes, I didn't sleep with an famous Hollywood actress. I got Adam West autograph and met the musician Dave Faulkner at Wests Newcastle in April 2015 and shook his hand and said the Roosters were going to win the comp. I think I met another famous musician but can't remember.
