Hot Lunch!

Someone kept stealing her lunches. So she hatched a plan.

  1. Fellow workers used to ask me to share my vittles during our morning break when I was doing construction.
    Smoked Oysters/Kippers in hot sauce with crackers changed that.

    And I love that stuff.

  2. I worked for a guy years ago who was tired of another guy bumming cigarettes off him. In hopes of teaching him a lesson, he planned to let him have one of his cigarettes that he had “spiked” with cayenne pepper. Unfortunately, the other guy didn’t borrow a cigarette that day.

    He forgot about the trick he had planned and ended up smoking it himself the next day.

  3. My brother used to flip an extra five in the candy honor box every week but it still came up short, one morning two guys in black and sunglasses walked up behind the guy next to him and handcuffed the bastard for stealing mail. The honor box was never again short after that.

  4. Can you say “Feenamint?” I knew you could. Freshman year in small Jr. College before four year school we were supposed to supply gum and other niceties to upper classmen when they requested along with other hazing.

    Substituted the Feenamint in the chiclets boxes. Because it had been opened all the way to do this, at one point the entire box emptied into his hand and as I protested “No wait,…” he threw the entire handful into his mouth.

    There were tests being given that day and unfortunately he was unable to finish his test taking. I leave it to your imagination.

  5. I used to work for a company that had a training area. If there were going to be training classes, the department would bring in doughnuts, muffins or something for snakes. Unfortunately, you would see workers who weren’t in training walking through the training area to grab a free snack.

  6. The old man smoked Pall Malls. Drove truck picking up raw milk from the farmers and noted that many of his cigarettes were disappearing at the dairy when he unloaded.

    One of the farms had horses and he got some of the hair from one of the stalls. Used a darning needle to thread it into the cigarettes and left them on the tray on his dash as usual.

    One of the workers came up to him while unloading and said, “Christ Harold, how do you smoke these damn things?” (meaning the Pall Malls). Could hear the hair cooking every drag he took, but kept smoking them.

  7. I used to bring a pint of half & half to put in my coffee. It would be empty after a couple of days, so I brought in a half & half container full of buttermilk. Started keeping my half & half in the buttermilk carton. Problem solved.

  8. Back in the 70s I would put a piece of green fuse about a 1/4″ into a cigarette by carefully digging out some tobacco, “drill” the fuse into the cigarette, then put the rest back and tamping it. This way it wouldn’t go off until the cigarette burned down to the fuse. Then it was showtime! It would look like a miniature blow-torch coming out of the cigarette and the reactions were priceless!

  9. Oh yeah, I would put the fused cigarette into an open pack so it was totally random when it would get picked leaving the owner wondering which one would be next! Since it was toward the open end of the already opened pack it didn’t take too long for the person to pick it out. I usually had a few made up on reserve for that moment someone laid their open pack on the table and when they weren’t looking I would stick it into the open pack.

  10. The active ingredient in Exlax is phenolphthalein, a common reagent indicator in chemistry.
    Freshman year I would throw my lunch on top of the lockers in the student union/cafeteria.
    Mom would make me those lunches, I was paying my own way and the lunch was valuable to me.
    They started disappearing, not to worry, I obtained some phenolphthalein from the chem lab and was generous with the dusting of the sandwich.
    After three days, they stopped disappearing.
