Fun and games 4th installment



Pump Jack bareback rodeo

Actually this is more of a story than Fun and games.

Required; Pump jack; two or more participants or witnesses; 6 or more beer per participant.

Goal: To mount a moving pump jack and straddle it, and move closer to the head. The one who gets furthest down the beam, without chickening out, wins. A dismount without shutting off the pump jack is automatically considered for the "Plays of the week" or for evidence.

Rules: There are really no ways to cheat here, but there is to be no throwing of beer cans at the cowboy. I repeat throwing beer cans at the person riding the pump jack is not cool! Each witness/player must know where the emergency shutoff is. Oh, and leaving someone on the steed for longer than they wish, while funny, is frowned upon.

Though I only tried this once I can tell you that those suckers move a lot quicker than you think and moving towards the head? Forget it, that's just stupid!
