My grandfather used to mention they had to field strip and assemble their 1911s in the dark and sure as hell I'd spend the weekend in a dark closet taking my 1911 apart and putting it back together. Whatever he told us they had to do...we had to try.Originally Posted by Diamondback

I have a paramedic buddy that does the thumb trick to every kid he can. Its hilarious because he’s missing most of a thumb.

Take them Snipe hunting. Make up all sorts of ridiculous things for them to do to attract the birds. Have them freeze, chase them etc. Hours of amusement. Also works well with out of town relatives from the city.

A guy my Dad knows was either asking too many questions or not enough. One day they were on a march with him near the rear near a Sgt. who told him to go ask another Sgt. in the front for a cigarette. He ran all the forward and got "what kind did he want?" then back to the rear for "what kind does he have?" That continued on through ignition sources too.

My Niece and Nephew actually believed I was a former member of the "Blue Man Group".
That was always good for agonizingly egregious lies and bogus war stories about the Music World.
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

My folks used to take my sis and I up to McGregor, TX to visit relatives living on a couple of farms. To keep us busy one uncle would give us a couple of salt shakers and tell us if we sprinkled salt on the chickens tails they’d stand still and we could pick them up. Imagine a couple of amped up 4 and 6 year olds running at the chickens trying to douse their tails in salt. I’m sure the old folks got a good laugh out of the whole thing.

My kids love the thumb teick5, my daughter (7) is probably.close to figuring it out.
I rub pennies away. You lean on a table, head on your hand, and a penny in the other hand. Rub the penny against your forearm, talking about how the copper is soft it dissolves with sweat, blah blah blah. At some point drop it on the table, pick it up and transfer to the hand that your head is leaning on.
As the kids watch the hand rubbing your forearm (that they think still has the penny) , you slip the penny (currently in the opposite hand) into your shirt collar.

It's "Wash, Prop, Concentrated, Type 3" and it helps fill in chips in the vehicle windshields. At least that's what the label on the jug we'd send out said...
Funny story about the "Hundred yards of flightline." I had a sup that was stationed in Clark AB in the Philippines beore it closed that sent out such a young trooper looking for said flightline. Couple of hours later, the young Airman returned with a convoy consisting of: a grader, a front end loader, 10K forklift and a semi truck full of Marston Mat (or whatever the replacement was). Basically, the base civil engineers got tired of some young, dumb Airman looking for "flightline" and decided to send some back with him this time with the request "please don't send them our way again."
They never messed with the kid again.

I picked up a kid for a PICU transfer and did the thumb trick on her. She laughed and told me her dad does that all the time, and asked us to do it again. My partner tried, but she ****ed it up and the kid shot her down hard and said "No, he needs to do it".
Later that shift, I caught my partner practicing in front of a mirror at our airbase trying to get it right lol
