He got me back a couple weeks ago.
To those of you who don't know who Ape is...
Well, I guess just to be safe, I guess I better summarize who I am.
I am the smallest and craziest of a small circle of friends who enjoy hanging out, playing rugby and beating the hell out of eachother. You know, for fun. :)
Ape accidentally broke my arm last october and I concocted an elaborate revenge, using the forum here as a sounding board for my ideas. In the end, Ape got what was coming to him. Plus some.
Ape swore vengeance. This was a number of months ago. Many here forecast my doom. Ape, as his name suggests is 6'6" and 275lbs. It was suggested that Ape would most likely stomp my balls into the ground.
His revenge was much worse. See, Ape happens to be a chemist working for a major chemical company here in Connecticut. Anyhoo...
About two weeks ago, after messing around with some of the guys on the field we usually play rugby and/or football on, Ape attacks me with a garden hose. Good clean fun, right? Wrong. I don't see the 'Miracle-Gro'-like spray canister on it. I'm drenched in seconds. Then the smell hits me. Like a runaway freight train. It's skunk, but ten times worse. My eyes are burning, and I'm now gagging due to the horrid stench. Ape sprayed me with a very mild solution of butyl mercaptan. It's an industrial solvent. It's also the active ingretient in skunk musk, and one of the foulest smells on the planet. I had just been drenched head-to-toe with it.
After I recovered my bleary-eyed vision enough to try to chase my laughing friends around a bit, I proceeded home to a very angry wife. Angry because even after a tomato sauce shower, it still took several cold nights of sleeping outside in a tent before she declared me fit for human habitation again. Good thing I had some vacation time saved up at work.
Not that I'm recommending it, because Ape informs me that butyl mercaptan is dangerous if mishandled, but that was one of the worst experiences I've ever been through and still managed to laugh about.
