Funny story

[Doug Merwin]

My 05 Sp Trac had the Ford Radio/CD installed and it was working fine. I went on a small trip one day and I got electrical noise through the speakers and then the FM just went out, and a few mins and the FM came back on. This was the way it went until the fuse blew out. I figured a dead short, so I went to the Audio/Video installers and bought a Pioneer AVIC-900BT, this is the Nav/CD/DVD/USB/IPOD/HD/FM and Sirius Sat. When I went to pick it up I asked what went wrong with the other radio? Well after talking to them I figured out what happened. One day my little boy (9 yr old with Autism)got in the truck one day, and he put eight Quarters in the CD slot.... Was funny, and I am so glad the fuse did its job. Sorry this was so long of a post, but just wanted to share.

Mine put marbles in the gas tank. The damn thing would run find and then stop for no reason. Finally sold that truck. Told me when he turned 30. Waiting for him to have kids.

At least you've recovered $2 from the cost of your new system!

I will get all replies in this message...

Yes, I remember something about a VCR and different things that kids put inside them, some were funny, but then again it was not my VCR....



Yes the things in the gas tanks... I have to say I myself am guilty of doing this. Decades ago now I was really Po'd at a guy for screwing me over that I put a condom in his tank, and it would run fine until the vacuum would catch it and it blocked the gas line. He had it to like three or more shops and could not figure this out. So it cost him a bunch of bucks, then he had to get a whole new tank. Run for a while, and die, run again and die again...and so on.



Yes I did get the $2 out of the old radio, and guess where I keep no more change now? You got it.

Over the weekend my 3 year old son was playing with a golf ball in the yard. Suddenly it was no where to be seen, and he couldn't remember where it had gone. This morning, when I went to fill my gas tank, I opened the fuel door, and there the golfball was, sitting inside. Thankfully Connor isn't quite yet able to get the gas cap off...

I used to work on VCR's back when it was actually economical to have them fixed... Funniest thing was the people that brought them in with a tape stuck, and we would find it was a Porn tape.



We used to wait for the customer to pick up the VCR and watch the look on their faces when we handed them the tape that was stuck...

So far, I've been lucky, my 5 childeren haven't done one thing that I did when I was younger!!!

I think that all, or most of us have heard from our parents saying something like this " I hope you are cursed with children just like you", or something like that... I am getting that now with my little boy....He is always doing something that is a big no, no and is hard to keep up with a lot of days...LOL
