Target Practice
Ahhh this story doesn't actually
relate to food, but with food utensils. One day while in Al's
Room, (fellow Campbell Countian who is hyperactive like Joe)
Joe, Al, and Dave saw a TV show with a Jamaican man throwing
a machete into a tree. Well this was the coolest thing to Al,
and Joe. They thought, "Hey we can do that to". Fortunately
they didn't have a machete, but they did have steak knives.
They got some knives together and thought, where can we throw
these at???? The hallway was almost all concrete so that was
no good. They finally settled on the area between the two windows
in Al's room. Now let me describe this to you so you can get
a better idea. The room was a twenty foot rectangle. If you
were standing in the door there were two windows straight ahead,
between these two windows was a narrow board about 12 inches
across. Joe and Al thought that would be perfect, not thinking
what would happen to the windows if they missed. The two started
practicing about 10 feet from the windows. Inevitably within
the first 15 minutes a knife sailed through the window on the
left. "Oops", was the group response. Not an hour
later the window on the right took a hit. "Hmmm" they
decided to raise the windows. Over the next few days the two
were getting pretty good. The middle board was looking pretty
rough from where they were sticking the knives. Occasionally
though one would go astray and sail though the screen to the
pavement below. Even though students passed by, Joe and Al never
actually hit a student.......?? Well we think they never hit
a student, that can't be confirmed at this time. At the end
of the semester the windows and screen looked pretty rough,
not to mention the middle partition. Al put bumper stickers
all over the windows to cover the holes, and sadly the Resident
Assistant who is supposed to inspect the rooms was none the
wiser. So, besides flaming tennis shoes from Taylor, we also
had flying garbage, and knives.
Next time I have to tell you about the Flying Carpet......
