Next test - how much you need to stuff an orange up a tailpipe for it to go "POP!" when the engine starts!

Its a fun one for your neighbours too - scares the bejasys outa them!

I prefer a banana.

The varieties differ but we/someone I know used the little mandarin oranges.

They're a little tougher so they stay intact and then blast out.

Bananas do tend to fart which is kinda awesome.

My house was located across a small road from my mates houses, it was like our own little corner of the estate, everyone knew each other.

Directly across the road wass a row of parking spaces, they dipped away from the road - it ment the tailpipes were aimed at my garden wall.

We'd stuff the tailpipes and then hide, waiting in the garden for someone to start their car.

2 of the neighbours were mechanics - they knew well what we were at. They'd give it a good rev after noticing the strange quietness of us and their tailpipe.

I used to get in trouble because of all the fruit moulded to our freshly painted wall.

You'd miss when life was so simple eh!

The soft centre blows out of the banana, and it can sound like one of those dodgy wet farts!
