Apr. 25th, 2005 09:31 pmHeard this story a few months ago, and it was just too much to pass up retelling. It's true, unless the guy telling it was pulling our collective leg.
The setting: A state park somewhere in the eastern United States.
The characters: Crazy Monkey--named for his tattoo and his behavior
Guy—the one telling the story
Friend—the third member of the group.
So, Crazy Monkey and company are sitting by the lake. They’ve had a few and are setting off bottle rockets, liter bottles filled with degreaser. After this loses its novelty, Friend pulls out a two-liter, fills it with liquid explosive, and sets it off, making an even larger explosion. Then Guy pulls out another bottle and fills it with his “special mix”(he wouldn’t tell us what it was exactly, which considering those listening was probably a good thing). Even larger explosion this time. Then, Crazy Monkey gets this great idea. He take three bottles and ties them together, then fills the first with the liquid explosive, the second with the mix, and the third with a combination of all three substances. Then he sets it off.
The bottle does not go up. The bottle goes straight, right into the back of Crazy Monkey’s truck, the Banana(it was yellow) and through the back window into the front seat. The same front seat in which Crazy Monkey was keeping his explosives.
Combustion ensues. A whoosh and crash are heard as the tires vaporize and the truck falls. The heat is so great that the actual metal of the truck is on fire. Crazy Monkey and company are at a loss. The park rangers will be arriving; what are they to do? So they get Friend’s truck and use it to push the Banana into the lake. Crisis averted, right?
Wrong. The rear bumper of Friend’s car has caught on fire as well. And guess which part of the car Friend has been keeping his explosive items in? So they get in the back of the truck, thus proving that they had definitely had too much to drink, and begin throwing the explosives in the lake. Amazingly, they manage to get them all out without killing themselves.
However, not all the explosives had been put out by this treatment.Satisfied with their work, the three turn to leave, right before hearing a tremendous “whoosh”. They turn back around, just in time to see the results of their homemade depth charge rushing at them in the form of a tidal wave.
Now, dripping wet and out one Banana, knowing that the park rangers will be there any minute, Crazy Monkey turns to Guy and says, “We gotta do this again next week.”
