We didn't do it to each other after every workout--usually just after the ball-busters. My nephew is a complete animal and he chose "Death by pull ups--race to 100" one day. I hated that. He always beat me...he did 50 or 55 straight, if I remember, right off the bat.
The rules were as soon as the guy dropped from the bar you HAD to jump on and start pull-ups. We switched back and forth until we got to 100. Those last 10 are the hallucination zone. The worst part was leaving your skin on the bar. We usually did this after a 10 mile run through the city and parks laced with pull ups, push ups, hill climbs, and any other sort of torture we could think up. I loved working out with that guy.
I always got him back with presses. I could press 175 x 5 reps. (Standing press with a barbell). I want to press 200 in 2015.

Are you "kipping" with your pull-ups? If you're not "kipping" then 36-40 in a row is even that much more impressive. Do you also do "muscle-ups"?
Military (standing) presses with 175lbs (and shooting for 200) is elite level. Twin Turbo is correct. 1 in 50,000 Crossfit members may be more like it.
You ought to think about the Crossfit Championships in 2015, because those numbers could qualify you, though probably not Top 10 placement.
