Re: what\'s the dumbest thing you have seen someone do??
one of our old janitors at work is a perfect candidate for this!
we were talking at lunch one day, and the kid was mouthing off about his supercharger on his Intrepid (factory supercharger no less). we asked him where it was mounted, then asked to see it. he took us out to the parking lot and showed us his alternator. on the next break, one of the guys (an older italian guy, we call him Wop) said that he was going to get the janitor. we sat back and watched as Wop looked at the janitor and asked him if he could come over to his house the following day and lend him a hand. the janitor questioned what he was being asked to help with. Wop told him that he needed help picking his spaghetti off of his spaghetti tree. the janitor asked a few more dumbass questions about the tree, but still sounded very convinced that it wasnt BS, and agreed to come over the next day to help pick it. so a bunch of us go over the night before, stopping on the way and picking up some sort of spinach spaghetti. we boiled it all up, then took it outside and began to throw it all over a small tree in the side yard. after it was sufficiently covered, we called it a night. we came over the next day to see 2 huge bowls of spaghetti sitting next to a picnic table, then watched the janitor take the noodles 1 by 1 and lay them out on a sheet that was spread out on the table. somehow we all managed to keep a straight face until he left. when he came to work we blew him some crap about it, and even hinted that spaghetti didnt really grow on trees but the kid just didnt get it. my dad works for the same company, but in a different building, the janitor went back to my dads building and my dad started in on him. after a couple of minutes the kid had a very confused look in his face and told my dad "i had no idea that spaghetti grew on trees, i always thought it grew out of the ground like grass."
we were planning on getting him to help dig meatballs at Wop's place a few months after, but the janitor quit before we had the chance. the last thing he said before he left, "i dont want to be here anymore. everybody treats me like i'm stupid, but im not"
