Wow, I've got to loosen up some more... I've done many STUPID things, but the only goofy thing I can remember is when I put some baby chicks down my shirt to keep them warm.

The first time I was in Ecuador my bodyguards made me drive from Guayaquil to Anconcito. On the highway, if it can be called that, there are some toll booths that aren't in use any longer. There were several cars backed up and slowly proceeding through the 2 lanes on our side. I started to slow down and Gabby, the head of security, pointed to the oncoming lanes and asked "John?" like "Why not go through those." Since there was no traffic coming I changed into the oncoming lanes and shot through around 60 or so while yelling "Gringo Loco! Gringo Loco!" out the window. Both of the security guys were dying laughing about that for weeks.

I was driving down the road once with my brother who was loaded with a small super-soaker water gun. Every time we passed by someone with their window rolled down, he would very sneakily shoot them.

Every single one of them held their hands out and looked up, INSIDE their car.

That was a blast!!!!

 

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

Question: what is the difference between goofy and stupid?? I'm just not sure I an answer that question without incriminating myself!!

And do I have to have done it intentionally????

When I first got chickens I tried to round them up to put them to bed for three straight days before I read on here I could just wait until sunset!!

Chasing chickens is both goofy AND stupid not to mention exhausting!!

I LOVE convincing people whom never do such to join in the unexpected. Once talked a group of friends (including a Pastor's wife) to done pajamas and robes/slippers to do the all night Black Friday (Thanksgiving night) shopping spree. Got all kinds of crazy commentaries, but grew like wildfire into other cities and states with other groups whom now treat this as the craziest of traditions. Also get a group of honest to goodness adults way over the age of thirty to now and again toilet paper houses of other friends. This was at first accepted with the barest amount of polite enthusiasm, but not now. It's now tradition also if someone goes into the hospital we show up with puppets when they wake. Randomly, for birthdays we will be let into homes dressed as the most odd assortment of angel wear to wake the birthday person up with song and vitamins to prolong their quickly escaping life.

The craziest though was when on a medical missionary trip to Peru, we started from the Amazon, to the Rio Nany, to a small thread of river, to a small village trudged uphill and found ourselves stranded in a serious thunderstorm, or options were limited to a building roofed in metal, in an area where we were the tallest, or hoping to get back to the boat which was no longer tied to the now broken tree downstream, and moving away as a fast speed. Since the gators were coming OUT of the water, that option didn't look good. However, since I took my contacts out, and couldn't see much with my glasses on, I didn't see the gators, but could see the blurr of the boat. While the others chose a cove of trees a bit downhill, I slid down, waded through the water (hoping that the piranha wisely went to the calmer lower ends of the water) and wrongly guessed at what I thought were encouraging commentaries from friends on the boat. As they helped me in, they shared about the (thankfully) disinterested gators whom were more interested in getting on shore. Besides, they were all small. Most villagers already killed and ate the bigger ones since this was at the end of the rainy season.
