Angus Barn Self-Kicking Machine

Standing outdoors near the woods behind a renowned steakhouse, this hand-cranked wooden novelty contraption features a shoe on a wheel built to give users a gentle kick in the pants.

The move: Grab a drink or appetizer at the restaurant's lounge, then head outside into the trees to take turns cranking the wooden wheel for a comical boot to the backside.
