In today's environment, many would call this harassment and you guys would all be felons.

I guess you don't get calls about your vehicles extended warranty do you.
John Cleese explains the brain
For the ultimate in incomprehensible horsepucky, there's this. Listen carefully, because there will be a test.
(If I heard him correctly, there is Blinker Fluid in the brain, surrounding the inferior lateral infrascapular membrane.)

No need to rotate, but you do need to switch from winter air to summer air in the spring and then back again in the fall.

Speaking of blondes I was walking to a store and noticed a woman trying to unlock her car and obviously having trouble. I stopped to help. She explained she'd been having an increasingly difficult time getting her key fob to unlock her car door it now wasn't working at all. It was obvious the battery in her key fob was dead. However, she was very distraught as she didn't know how to get in the car, and didn't have the money to pay a locksmith.
She also stated that she had locked her keys in the car in the past, and that she was aware that the police department policy was not to unlock doors in non emergency situations. However, she still asked if I knew of a way to unlock her door, without having to spend money on a locksmith.
Now...this was about 25 years ago, well before ignition keys went away on some cars so there was of course a key attached to the fob. Rather than have her call a locksmith, I told her that there were two ways to unlock her door, one at no cost, and one for a just a couple dollars. First, I showed her how the key would fit in the lock and open the door, since it unlocked the door in addition to starting the car. She was amazed. She never knew that the key did double duty.
Second, I explained that they sold new batteries for her key fob right there at the store where she was parked, and I explained the little indents on the key fob where you could open the battery compartment. Her mind was once again blown by the concept of changing the battery in her key fob to get it to unlock the door. She thought she would have to buy a new one. I escorted her back into the store she'd just come out of and helped her select a new battery and replace the old one so she wouldn't have to face the challenge of unlocking the door with a key all by herself.
She was nice enough, but by no means the brightest crayon in the box.

Had fun over the years when the new guy discovered the bolts on the mechanical joint ARE supposed to break away and hoping the round manhole cover doesn't slip into the hole.
Don't forget to check the fetzer valve.

On Our recent trip out west, in Indiana (i think) there were a couple state road maint flashing signs, one of which asked " have you checked your blinker fluid lately". First time I had heard that one. Then there was "Put down the phone, and no one will get hurt".
"Lady, you need to add some oil to your engine..."

And yet, through all this levity, no one has commented that "Diesel Exhaust Fluid" is a real product.
A friend of mine used to work for the transit authority. Back in his day, just about every one started out as a bus operator. One day a new guy complained that his bus wouldn't go over 55mph on the Interstate portion of his route. No one bothered to tell him that the buses were governed to 55mph maximum speed.
Instead, they asked him if no one had told him about the Dodo button. Located under the driver's seat, the Dodo button would add 20mph to the top speed.
When last seen, the new guy had his head under the drivers seat trying to locate the Dodo button.

I was in 8th grade chemistry when I found out hot glass looks exactly like cold glass.
I had a guy come an ask me for a file sharpener. I looked at the file and told him to go get some elbowgrease. That sent him all through the company.
I like to go to Lowe's and ask the guys in plumbing where the water hammers are. That's especially funny if there's a real plumber within earshot.
I once had a job at the hospital putting wheels on miscarriages.

More of practical joke but funny. One of the guys George,in the shop bought a truck from one of our vendor salesman. I was over one day picking up some pipe fittings. The salesman had found the spare fob for the truck and ask me if I would give to George. Sure great idea. I couldn't wait to get back.
I gathered up a couple of other guys and we found a good hiding spot behind the dumpster. I hit the panic button. Wasn't long before ol George came out aiming his fob at the truck. Every time he cut it off I'd turn it back on. So he gets up to the truck unlocks looks around inside. Slams the door and locks with a beep. He gets almost back to the door and the darn thing goes off again. This time he goes and gets the shop manager. I cut it off and we scattered back to where we were supposed to be. I gave him about an hour and did it all over again.
So finally I went up to George's area and started a what's new conversation. He was fit to be tied. He was panicked,he'd disconnected the battery and made and appointment with a mechanic. So that's when i gave him the spare fob. He was so relieved this wasn't going to cost him money to fix he didn't even get mad. I won prank of the year with that one.
Then there's the time George went to the lumber store on company time and somebody unloaded his truck on to the ground right behind the truck just before quitting time. But that's another story.
