RALPH WAS A THE KIND THAT ALWAYS DID ODD THINGS. HE HAD A '51 FORD
CONVERTABLE WITH A TOP MADE OF CLEAR PLASTIC. ONE DAY HE DECIDED TO
MAKE HIS FRONT SEAT INTO BUCKET SEATS. HE GOT A KITCHEN CHAIR ( YOU
KNOW THE KIND, STRAIGHT AND NARROW ) REMOVED THE FRONT SEAT AND PUNCHED
THE LEGS THROUGH THE RUSTED OUT PAN. IT LOOKED A LITTLE STRANGE GOING
DOWN THE STREET BECAUSE THE CHAIR LEGS COULD BE SEEN STICKING OUT THE
BOTTOM OF THE CAR. HE DECIDED THAT WAS A LITTLE ROUGH ON HIS BEHIND SO
HE GOT A ROLL OF FOAM RUBBER AND FITTED OT TO THE CHAIR AND MUMMIFIED
THE WHOLE THING WITH DUCT TAPE.
ONE DAY THE REVERSE GEAR WENT OUT. FROM THEN ON HE PARKED ON A HILL IN
AN UNPAVED ****TION OF THE PARKING LOT SO HE COULD ROLL BACK AND GET
UNDERWAY.
ANOTHER TIME ON THE 3RD ****FT HE SNEAKED OUT TO THE PARKING LOT AND
SEALED THE HEADLIGHTS OF A CAR WITH MASKING TAPE. IT BELONGED TO ANOTHER
OF OUR COWORKERS WHO WAS KNOWN TO GO OUT TO LUNCH AT 4 AM.
RALPH WAS KNOWN FOR HIS HABIT OF TAKING A TV DINNER TO THE ACCESSORY
SHOP AND STICK IT IN THE 1800 DEGREE OVEN, IT HAD TO COME OUT A
PRECISELY THE CORRECT TIME. ONE NIGHT BROUGHT HE HIS FINSHED DINNER TO
THE SHOP, OPENED IT UP AND SLID THE TOP PIECE OF ROAST BEEF TO THE SIDE
TO CUT IT. UNDER THE ROAST BEEF WAS THE FRESHEST, GREENEST GRASS HOPPER
YOU EVER SAW. HE PUMPED IT INTO THE TRASH CAN AND WENT OUT TO DINNER,
HE ALWAYS ACCUSED ME OF DOING IT, BUT I THINK SOMEONE AT THE FACTORY WAS
GUILTY.
