One morning at work, before we actually clocked in to work, everyone was gathered in the breakroom. As we sat there, guys were wolfing down their breakfasts or drinking coffee. The door opens wide and Mark comes strolling in with the top piece of a lawnmower. The piece with the pull cord and the wound up spring inside. Mark has a reputation for doing some very stupid things and does them frequently. As everyone glanced down at the part that he meant to work on during his breaks, he looked back and said something before anyone could say anything. "I Know, I know, a moron starter!" and proceeded to set it on top of his very thick Afro hairdo and jerk the starter cord.
Immediately he realized that he had just screwed up as the spring sucked up his hair into the starter. As we saw the look on his face and watched as he tried to get his hair free, the laughter erupted in the breakroom. So several guys went to work trying to get his very thick bushy hair free but there was no way to. So, someone went to the office to see if they had scissors and many guys volunteered to use their pocket knives. Ten minutes later, someone cut slowly with a knife to get the pull starter free. The Afro was now a botched one on top and Mark hurried inside the office to buy a company cap to wear. Mark could never live it down as someone would act like they were pull starting their heads when he walked by. That was thirty years ago and Mark still has the thick hair unlike most of the others.
