New VP of the shop had his $20K Snap On roll around delivered, we filled all the drawers with metal chips and parked it on the ceiling.  |

Shop shenanigans. Miss that stuff.
There is a lot of creative guys out there that know nothing but hi-jink. We had a 300 ton Demag crane on-site at an oil refinery. We treated the crane operator real good. He would do anything for us. So one night. It was kind of slow. We had the crane operator picking up trucks and cars and move them around. We was doing all the rigging. The one truck belonged to a oil refinery foreman.
We moved it from inside the fence to the outside of the fence. Should have seen his face come morning. He was looking for his truck inside the fence. Then he spotted it just outside of the fence. He never figured that one out until after we left the job.
