Laser Fluid

[Rich]

Doyle's post on 4x2's reminded me of a gag we pulled on an intern a few years back.
This kid was really green but wasn't afraid to jump in the middle of it. We had an upcoming pour that we needed a FF 40 on - about 250 cy in one shot. So we had been prepping for awhile. Well about 2 days before the pour we decided to pull a prank on him. Asked him to call Hixon and a couple other places and see if they had any laser fluid in stock and see how quick they could get it to us.
Luckily our surveying equipment and lasers are all from a pretty good guy and he went along with it without having to tell him. After the first day this kid comes back and says that he's checked all over and can't find it.. nobody has any. We get a little upset and tell him we need this stuff ASAP or the pour is going to have to be cut in half for the additional time of using a builders level.
Finally we're sitting in the next office over and we're listening in on the phone conversation. He's getting pretty upset with the guy - telling him how he's going to get his butt chewed if he doesn't find this stuff ASAP. On and on he goes with about 3 or 4 different people.
Finally we couldn't hold it in any longer and started busting up. He took it pretty well though.

something like that happened to me on work experience, there were a couple of guys thinking 'yeah hes a new ladd lets do some pranks' so i go in second day there, like a big warehouse place filled with paints and alsorts, so the guys were talking and i went up to them to get another job and they sed go get some tartan paint, so sure enough i fall for it but on the way i realise that tartan paint isnt real and i get a tub of teracotta paint (i think, im red green colour blind) and a yellow and blue paint open them up and put stripes down the teracotta paint and gives it to the guy, they are all laughin at this point so i walk away, and by the time i have done this its my tea break so i go and sit down and hear a load of laughter and the word 'BASTARD' so i eant back on my chair and gave the guy a wave :lol:

How about this:

Guy starts first day at new job and has it explained to him that they have a tradition. Every new guy gets to try to cut a quarter in half with an axe, blindfolded. If he does...new hire jokes are off, if he dosen't they rip on him till they tire of it. So he says OK, co-worker takes his hat and then blinfolds him, places axe on quarter so he knows where it is and tells him to try his best. New guy swings and everyone is like " Holy Crap" you almost did it. Hit it again, again, again...and finally say you did it. Takes off blindfold and there is his hat chopped all up.

Recently my company sent at new hire from one framing crew to another crew. The superintendent let the foreman know that "Joe" was to report to "Mike" another foreman, at lot 10 on Friday. He proceded to tell Joe that Mike was extremely religious and often prayed before setting trusses. He said he felt it was his duty to inform him so he wasn't caught off guard. Joe's foreman calls Mike after work and lets him know what he told Joe about his so-called prayer habits. So friday comes, Joe shows up on the jobsite, and so does the crane. Mike huddles up the guys and looks at Joe and says. I have a habit of saying a prayer before each roof set i do. As the new guy on the crew, Joe, why don't you lead us in prayer. You can imagine joe stumbling over his words caught off guard trying to come up with at truss setting prayer. Hopefully God has a sense of humor!
