Pooned       

[Raul CB750K1]

What does "pooned" mean?

[toycollector10]

According to my 18 year old son I have mis-spelled it..It should be Pwoned, which is a deliberate mis-spelling of 'owned'. If you own  someone you have a sort of control over their opinion or statement. I liken it to being harpooned...Any the wiser? I'm not...

I.E. We were on a track day and this guy said "your bike is a spaghetti framed piece of #$%* that doesn't handle and won't brake" then I beat him around the track by 3.25 seconds best lap time.   Pooned!!

Hey Raul, I'm 52 years old, my son who I love, keeps me young and "hip", or maybe that should be  "just a little bit sad"

A few years ago, we had a visit from a our new IBM sales rep – a cute young lady, just starting out in the computer sales business. Our computer room was one of those with the raised flooring, for routing computer cables and cold air from 2 huge air conditioners.  We removed one of the floor tiles, then asked her to take a look at one of the machines just past it. As she stepped over the gap, the A/C blew her skirt up, just like in a fun house.   We all got a good laugh over it – she said that half way across she knew she’d been had.

OK I know this is a old thread....
Autoparts.
A very new to retail manager and the doors outside were locked and I was waiting to get in with a few mins to open.  Freezing cold outside.  Pulled my phone out of my pocket called the store and asked for a "Left handed smoke shifter for a 54 kaiser".... Took him a minute till he looked up from the counter and realized I was standing at the door with my phone to my ear. lol

A bunch of us hunters/outdoors men put a (quite loud) remote controlled game mating call up in the drop tile ceiling of a long time coworker of ours who just got a promotion/manager position. right above his desk in his new office.
10am, first day, things are going smoothly....until he throws his coffee when we hit him with the bull moose (nearly as loud as a car horn) 
never laughed so hard.

At a plumbing shop I worked at we would always make up a fake service call for whoever was on call during the christmas party. One year the on call phone rang and the call was a warranty leak on a pvc pipe on a hot tub in a mobile home in a town 30 miles away. He laughed and laughed. Yep, it was real. The resident had medical reasons to use the hot tub and needed it repaired at night.

When I loaded trucks and had a beam longer than the trailer we would send the new guy to the tool crib for the trailer stretcher.

One smart guy there always loved to tease people. I was late one day and he demanded to know why. I told him I forgot to put anti-freeze in my 64 VW beetle. He made an ass of himself teasing me about it for days before someone told him it was air cooled.
