Water in the Boots
Here’s another joke I pulled on a Firefighter. Part of our regular equipment was our boots and turnovers. The boots came up to about your knees. At night, each of us would put our boots on the floor next to the bed, and put our turnovers down over the boots so that if we got a call, we could jump into the boots and pull our turnovers up very quickly.
One night, while this guy was getting ready for bed I went in and I filled his boots with water. You can’t see the water when it’s just sitting there. A little later we had a run, and when he put his feets in his boots the water splashed all over and into his turnouts. He was soaking wet and his boots sloshed while he walked out to the rig. He wasn’t very happy, but everyone else thought it was funny.
