Deuce Humor

I had a fellow who spent some time in the Army in Hawaii in the '80's relate a funny story. They would introduce the new deuce drivers to the trucks, Hawaii style. Most of the trucks were run with no tops, so the old hands would loosen the stack clamp and turn it towards the driver. They would then dump a gallon of water down the stack. They would tell the new driver that the truck was hard to start, so when it cranked up to goose the throttle. The driver promptly got a bath in black, sooty water. :devil:
Nothing like a good laugh, right? At least they didn't add a quart of used motor oil! :nono:

thats really bad though when it cost $60+ dollars to replace a set of BDUs as the soot will stain and Ive seen it happen after a rain storm

I probably would not have seen the humor either. I have filled an exhaust stack with confetti. A little messy, but nothing permanent.
