My buddy lived a mile south of me and was always calling me up at 0100-0200 hrs. saying "I got one for you"....meaning a joke...and he knew I'd flown all day and was dead azzed tired! So...one day....a Jewish fellow out of NYC called me and gave me a spill about buying some chemical hose from him....I started getting somewhat out of snuff but I held on and the thought hit me! Told the guy...."Yeah...I'll take 200' of your 2" hose and ship to me at this address!" Gave him ole Bud's name (Guy had not asked my name or address...just had the telephone number I guess) and address down the lake from me and deal was CASH....for the discount! Well....about seven days later....ole Bud drives up....wants his cotton sprayed so I took his order and said...."What you been doing?" His reply was...."Well....I got so damn mad this afternoon I thought I was gonna have to kill a truck driver!" I asked "Why?" Bud says..."I was working in my shop on a tractor and this truck pulls up and backs up to the shop....driver hops out and walks over and asked me my name and when I told him he said I've got your hose!" Told him I hadn't ordered any damn hose and he insisted that I had! Apparently this wrangling went on way over Bud's patience level! Bud then says...."I told this guy I was heading to my truck which was parked nearby to get my rifle and if he and his friggin truck wasn't out of sight in 30 seconds he wouldn't have a motor or any tires to leave on!" Needless to say....the truck left in a flash!
Told Bud about this about six months later after we'd had a few beers....and I got an awful cussin! But I really didn't mind since I was on the floor laughing!!
