I lifted the right front end of a 78' Ford Ranchero off of my father's chest when I was 16. Fear = Incredible Hulk strength

In high school, I went all Dukes of Hazzard and jumped my car over the hood of another car. (not recommended unless you want to buy a new suspension)
 
Well, there was this one time at band camp..........

That is pretty awesome. My old lady skates on the local team. Flat track?
 
Shaving babies (a standard test of edge keeness) can result in an awkward situation if done without prior permission from the owners. It could cause instant "fame" however.
 
Jeepin where did you sit in the chair? If it wasn't the one in Dearborn Mi, it was not the actual chair.
 
I worked as an OR orderly many years ago . I carried amputated limbs , body parts, and sometimes dead people to pathology . I once rolled a guy into the OR and rolled her - as a girl - out... carried his privates to pathology too.

I guess you get immune when it's your day job. It doesn't matter anymore if it's somebody's spleen or testicles . Sealed containers help too .
 
OK, some dude with the same name i have is a pron star. It's kinda weird and given my current avocation, helpful b/c it's difficult to learn about me via the web. I like anonymity.

I've never watched one of his movies and have no intention to, but it's definitely a funny ice-breaker story.

One time while traveling, I stopped into a truck stop to take a mad dump. There were maybe five stalls, and inside my stall, I could hear everyone complaining about my stink. It was bad. "Christ what is that smell?" "How about a courtesy flush James" (My name is not James the guy was just desperate to breahe). It was bad for everyone in the room, even those washing their hands on the other side. I wasn't sick or anything. It came out as a solid, healthy looking log. It just stunk worse than anything before or ever since. People were gagging and making references to a** mask. Another time I was riding solo on Tatsu at Six Flags Magic Mountain, a ride where your head first and you go around the track. As the ride ended and we were all hanging there, we had a long delay of about five minutes. I had mad gas from eating lots of free oranges, pith and all. A couple of dozen oranges over a two day period and poop was coming out orange with farts every five seconds or so. There were four seats, an empty one next to me, and a couple in the other two seats. The poor was asking her boyfriend what that smell was. She said it smelled like rotting garbage. They were debating what or where it was coming from. She couldn't take much of it and while suspended there, threw up onto the platform.

My claim to fame? Weapon of gas destruction. May the farts be with you friends.

Holy crap! I'm crying I'm laughing so hard right now!
 
I don't know if this qualifies as "claim to fame", but seein as how we are on the subject of gas, here is mine.

It was winter time & my wife wanted to stop by a sporting goods store on the way home from a movie, so we did. While in the store (which i was not familiar with), all of a sudden i got that rumbling way down deep inside. You know, that one that makes your ass pucker, because it might be a shart (shart could be part sh** and/or part fart), but regardless, you KNOW there is gonna be some SERIOUS pressure comming. So i was walking fast, desperately looking for the restroom/hopeing they had one/&/or looking for an employee to point me in the right direction. It was quickly becoming critical mass time. I cut down the sleeping bag isle & then it hit. Too late, the time had come. All i could do was pray it was just gas. I let it ripp. It was LOUD & LONG. I got lucky or so i thought. My wife was in another part of the store, so she was spared the emarassment & it was just gas. But then the smell hit me. O.M.G. was it bad. I mean REAL bad. I could'nt stand it myself & was quickly leaving the scene of my disgrace, when this gorgeous woman came around the corner & down the isle with 3 kids. 2 were walking & one was in the car seat in the cart facing mom. I panicked. I stopped & grabbed something off the shelf & pretended i was reading the label on it. Poor woman, she never had a chance. She walked right into it. She said loudly "OMG, whats that smell ?" I started laughing & totally lost it. She then screamed "OMG, was that you ?" I blew snot out of my nose i was laughing so hard. Then she started gaging & puked right into the lap of her kid in the car seat. I was crying i was laughing so hard. I wanted to appoligize, but i could'nt even talk i was laughing so hard. So i just left the store & went outside. I felt bad & was embarassed, but that just hit me as too funny. My wife came out of the store first, luckily, & asked me what was going on in the store. I lost it again & began laughing so hard i could'nt talk. We were halfway (in a 45 minute drive) home before i could even tell my wife what happened. I think i laughed for the rest of the night. The next day, it felt like someone hit me repeatedly in the stomach with a pipe, from laughing so hard. Everytime i tell it, it's like it just happened & i get laughing again.
