CASE #: 0001
UNSUSPECTING VICTIM: Crafty
LOCATION: CCG
DATE: Monday, January 5, 2004
When Steve, the prep cook at CCG, makes any desserts he brings out the left-overs for the employees to snack on. He cuts off the uneven pieces (carrot cake, chocolate cake) and PRESTO, cake shavings! Tonight when I got to work, there were some cake shavings on a plate in the expo window. We were about to throw them out when I got an idea.
With some assistance from the cooks, I spread lots of gooey, creamy mayo all over the chocolate cake. You see, the icing we use for the cake looks uncannily like mayonnaise. And boy did it look convincing.
I set the plate in the expo window and went about my business. Who would be the first to find it? Who would be the first to eat it? Would they vomit? Enter Crafty, the useless manager only good at changing light bulbs.
Whilst I was talking to Emily at the hostess stand we suddenly heard an eruption of laughter followed by a scream of disgust from the kitchen. I knew it was done. I invited Emily to go to the kitchen with me.
Crafty didn’t take a nibble but a mouth full of chocolaty, mayonnaisey goodness. Pretty much everyone was in on the gag except for Crafty; he got his gag shortly thereafter. All the kitchen guys knew what I had done so as soon as Crafty shoved that cake in his mouth like the fat girl next door the awesomeness began. He nearly vomitted.
Later, Crafty tried to get others to eat it, but he failed. Like Frodo he failed.
