I did that first one with a copy machine one time.



I was dying laughing.

Sit in your yard pointing a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.

Done this one before ... almost caused a wreck when a driver slammed on his brakes, and ALMOST went too far off the road into a ditch ... absolutely hilarious ....

Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."

Done that, too ... actually, the response was a sea of laughter heard through the speaker ... they loved it (and needed the laugh) ...

Here's one better ...

The person in FRONT of me at the drive thru window today ... When prompted with "Would you like to BIGGIE size your combo?" ... the girl "nodded yes at the speaker" ...

Just for kicks (while I was still a teenager, 18 or 19, my stepbrother was driving his Red and Gold Camaro, and went through a Burger King Drive-thru ... IN REVERSE ... everyone was laughing their butts off and I was stunned, and cracking up ... (I was riding shotgun, and I was the one handing the money and picking up the food from the passenger's side door ... very memorable).

Storms, I won't be doing THAT one anytime soon. Especially since wheelchairs can't really use the drive throughs like the cars do.

I've seen a guy drive in reverse down an entire city block once. Didn't hit anyone either, thank goodness.
