工程师也爱恶搞：让那个讨厌的家伙闭嘴

sky-Hawk where

几年前，我在一个小公司做技术员，装配自定义控制系统。我们的装配实验室和午餐厅由屏风隔开，人们经常会来喝一杯咖啡，顺便看看实验室进度如何。

我们的销售经理，汤姆(自然是那种健谈的家伙)，总是会停下来批评我们的工作。他经常假扮买家，边说边按下启动按钮。

有一天，我拿到一个Klaxon报警器，有了一个主意。我将它连到启动/停止继电器电路中，等待汤姆经过。果然，他拿了一杯咖啡，走进实验室。

Ahhhh OOOOOOGAH！

咖啡在手，他开始喋喋不休，并最终走到我正在工作的控制箱前面。他如往常一样启动按钮，突然响起的警报将他吓得半死，几乎那一整杯咖啡都洒在他身上。他浑身颤抖得厉害，不得不放下咖啡，就这样他溅了一身。但是他又没有足够的勇气按动停止按钮将警报关闭。

从此我们多了一个很好的笑料，而汤姆再也没有像以前那样经常过来。而当他又过来时，他再也没有按任何按钮。

我现在一回想起来就又忍不住想笑。

Practical Jokes: How to shut the sales guy up

Bob Stevens

Years ago I was working for a small company as a technician. We built custom control systems. Our assembly lab and the lunch room were separated by a set of dividers. Often people would come in for a cup of coffee and stop by to see what was going on in the lab.

Our sales manager, Tom (naturally a talkative kind of guy), would stop by and would always critique what we were building. He would act as though he was the guy buying and operating the system and start pushing buttons as he was talking.

One day I got a hold of a Klaxon horn and knew exactly what to do with it. I wired it to the start/stop latching relay circuit and waited for Tom to stop by. Sure enough he came in for a cup of coffee, then proceeded to the lab area.

Ahhhh OOOOOOGAH!

With coffee in hand he started talking and eventually worked his way around to the front of the control box I was working on. The first thing he hit was the start button and almost ended up wearing that cup of coffee. He was shaking so badly that he had to set down the coffee so he would spill it. He did however, have enough sense to hit the stop button to turn it off.

We all had a good laugh, but Tom didn’t come around as often after that. And when he did, he didn’t press any buttons.

I still laugh thinking about it.
