Ha ha, sounds like a great boss, really, but DAMN. That was a stupid thing to do.

Approves.

'oversees' is not the visual equivalent of 'overhears'.

ahhh when office pranks go wrong.

At my last job they had decided silly string would be a fun thing at a Christmas party. At one point one of my coworkers decided to get the boss by giving him a good long spray over his cubicle wall. She really let loose with it. Unfortunately she'd grabbed a can of fake snow spray instead of silly string.

James Clithero called 9-1-1 about 5 p.m.

What? No Hero tag?

AWESOME

Incidentally, that should be a new video game for the XBOX360 and PS3. I just don't know how you'd get the custom game... "pad" for it.

That's AWESOME.

A coworker of mine got the cops called on him in force a few weeks ago.

He was hanging out with his friends in the Waffle House parking lot, when one of his friends pulled out an airsoft gun modeled after an M4. Somebody across the street (which is 7 lanes wide at that particular place) saw it and called the cops. Cops showed up with pistols drawn. The Aristocrats!

Sounds like somebody's been watching The Office!

Was the boss Michael Scott?

LOLarious.

If this guy was overseeing the whole thing, why would he jump razor wire fences and sprint a half-mile and get the police involved? Was it a prank on the cops, and the guy was just getting really into the act to make it convincing???

caribou: 'oversees' is not the visual equivalent of 'overhears'.

Yeah, that. The headline hurts.

At least it wasn't a "squirt bottle full of white hand soap and faked O-face moaning" over the cube wall that got misdirected at the sexual-harassment-happy uptight.

The prank was on him. Everyone but him was in on it and knew what was happening.

All he knew was he walked in to see two people arguing, one pull out a real looking gun, and shot the other guy. He didn't stand around long enough to find out the rest. Guys survival instincts was pretty good and he was gone before they could all laugh.

somebody got their punk'D on.

My friend got pulled over with one of those sitting on the seat next to him. Later, after he was ticketed and about to drive away, the cop informed him just how close he came to having his brains splattered across the side window.
The quote was something like, "had your hand drifted away from the steering wheel at the time I noticed the gun, I ...."

Was the guy acting like a jackass with it (waving it around and pointing it at people), or was he just doing a little show and tell?

I've pulled real guns out of my trunk to show people and nobody has ever gotten freaked out.

Win

/Someone needs to fix this... (new window)

Mmmmm....tastes like chicken

I am not entirely adverse to someone shooting Michael Scott or his evil-er twin on Parks & Recreation.

/Better Off Ted is aiming for you.

Good times.

FTA: Hands scraped and bloody from climbing two barbed-wire fences and out of breath from a half-mile sprint

Razor-wire is very different than barbed-wire. Had he jumped two razor-wire fences (and somehow survived without being shredded) he likely wouldn't have made that half-mile sprint before bleeding out

Cool boss. Sadly he will be less cool after this incident.

I think the fact that the guy put half a mile of geography between himself and the incident before he thought about calling 911 qualifies him for some sort of opposite of a Darwin award. Sort of a "Yeah, this is what Darwin meant by survival of the fittest" award.

Your Fail-foo is tremendous.

eqtworld: JesseL: My trunk:

You leave an AK pointing at your nitrous tank?

Technically it's pointing below the nitrous tank. I also keep it unchambered, so there's little danger of an accidental discharge.

I guess that is a big "Flock You!"

Funny thing about the English language, is that words often have multiple definitions....

What a Clithero may look like.

/If I had a pic of myself in my profile I'd direct you to click on my name to find out what a Clit Hero looks like.

spickus: Speaking of fail.

No kidding.

Not real bright to be adequately convinced ahead of time that you're going into a firefight that you would go in with your gun drawn, but only bring a handgun. It's even worse when you have reason to believe your adversary has a rifle.

Someone hasn't read the sixth rule for gunfights.

God... I cant beleave I live around these ppl.

Would anyone care for a ClitHero Pleasure Horse?

Wodan11: Funny thing about the English language, is that words often have multiple definitions....

Well, shiat. I learned something new today.

Linux_Yes: somebody got their punk'D on.

Yes, but who was being punked?

The guy who ran said it seemed that everyone seemed to know something he didn't...so was it for his benefit? Was it for the guy that 'got shot'?

I'm confused by the whole stupid scenario.

He told you he was hardcore...


Fosbury Flop...



Nicely done Comrade.

puffy999: Would anyone care for a ClitHero Pleasure Horse?

Isn't that illegal?

puffy999: Would anyone care for a ClitHero Pleasure Horse?

Even better, it's Saffo/ClitHero pleasure horses.

puffy999: Would anyone care for a ClitHero Pleasure Horse?

I sure as hell thought that was something other than what it actually was...
Then, I moved on to thinking it was a joke. Had to watch one of their videos before believing.

Clearly you're an idiot.

Unless of course you are a member of law enforcement.

/then the idiocy REALLY prevails.

It's too bad Mr Clithero wasn't armed himself. Then he could have saved his poor co-worker from his fate.

Oh, wait, that would have been bad.

jmr61: Clearly you're an idiot.

Fark you too.

I could burn the building down.

You guys are missing the bit where it was a CAP GUN. We are not talking about firing blanks with a real gun, we are talking about making little popper sounds with a chunk of plastic that most likely had a bright orange flange on the end.

I rather doubt the goal was to make that guy think there was a real shooting; it was probably just supposed to be a silly performance. But I guess he never heard a real gunshot before. . . .

Reminds me of the time we pranked this coworker by throwing him out of a 12th story window.
