#1 Please, I brought a tray for your steins.

May I have afters, gentlemen?

Please permit me to connect this incident to another one almost as bad but more like that recent thread; The one about how things have changed in the last 40 years, or so (anyone who posts the link gets a prize.)

One of the funniest stories my born-again fundamentalist Christian business partner ever told me was about how he gave his little brother a "spin" in the dryer. All pissed off he was and a really thoughtless young guy to boot. This bloke grabbed his younger brother and packed him in in the drum for a "tumble" dry session. ("Tumble", mind you, no actual heat applied.)

It was impossible not to laugh while my partner grinningly told me about how, during the first few revolutions or ~~dozen~~ so, it kinda sounded like there was a "loose pair of sneakers in there."

When he described how his sobbing wee sibling emerged from the bin, only to hear the kid emphatically demand another go 'round, that almost doubled me up.

This Pritchard maggot needs a tumbling session with some complimentary cinder blocks.

#2 About the time of the Mercury project my brothers and I determined that the front loading Whirlpool dryer in the basement would make the perfect capsule trainer.
The question was who would go first? Somehow they convinced me that I would make the best astronaut..... and they promised not to turn it on.

As I entered the "capsule" with my football helmet on the door slammed shut accompanied by muffled snickers from the outside. The next sound was the clicking of the timer nob turning.

I can't say how I managed to push the two of them off the door and get out. They described me as being like the cat when he was dropped into the bath tub.

#4 Yeah Project Gemini kinda had a bad effect on our wildlife too. The Caaaaaaaaaatssssss in Spaaaaaaaace Project immediately comes to mind. Aborted after several splash-down rehearsals in the shower.

A truck with a concrete tumbler loaded with concrete.
