Cold humor
Probably one of the funniest things I have ever done happened when I was about 21.
It was the middle of January in a small town called Sunman. Indiana. There were a group of us that were really good friends and we normally had a party or dance every weekend.
This particular week-end a friend of mine decided to have a party, it just so happened that his house was next to a large parking lot on which stood the town water tower.
In those days there were a lot of homes that had inadequate water supplies and men delivered water to them in tank trucks that held about 1000 gallons.
There was a hose connected to the water tower and all the driver had to do was drive under the hose ,drop in a quarter , and his 1000 gallon tank would fill with water.
As it was the middle of January, the temperature was well below zero, and after enjoying the liquid refreshments being served at our party it became necessary to relieve ourselves, so a couple of my friends and myself proceeded outside to the parking lot.
As we stood there in the cold dark star filled night,it became obvious what had to be done!
Some one had parked their car directly under the hose leading from the water tower, the temptation was just too geat, someone had to do it!
Looking around and not seeing anyone, I proceeded to drop a quarter in the coin box.
The results were unbelievable, we never realized how much water was in a thousand gallons! The car immediately became covered with over 6 inches of ice!
The car was frozen to the ground,we couldn't help but laugh but also knew that the owner might not see any humor in the situation, so we went back inside and never told anyone, eventually the owner went to go home and discovered his frozen up car.
He was pretty upset and came back in the house and demanded to know who had done the dastardly deed, of course we weren't talking. I think he knew who had done it, but everyone was laughing so hard that he really couldn't do anything. We did feel sorry for him as it took several hours to dig his car out.
