Notes from the bunker: Beware of holiday pilferers.

From the Bunker:

After returning to the bunker this morning for guard duty and to admire my stash, to my horror, I discovered that one of my three large Idahoan limited edition canisters of mashed potatoes was missing.

After arming myself and going on a 20 minute search, I found my opened can of mashed potatoes hidden upstairs in a cuboard in the kitchen. I called a formation of the troops and interrogated the usual suspects. It was my Mother, that had done the dirty deed.

Another example of the kind of world we live in today. Beware of pilferers, the lowest form of human(other than Texans) that god created.

Never leave the bunker, and, lock and load.

Cheers

I trust the perpetrator was dealt with in an appropriate manner...

Seeing as how it was your Mom and it was her first offense, you have to cut her some slack. But at some time in the future, an example will have to be made!

Infidel,

Yes good advice to all. Lock yourselves in your bunkers and NEVER come out... please... I'm begging you.

Mother still wields a mean switch. So I wisely dropped it. Still a coward after all these years.

Familyman,

Hang in there bud, you meet all kinds of people.

And the serious moral of this silly tale is that when you DO eat some of your stash - or experience pilfering - of said stash, replenish, REPLENISH, I say!

Sara,

I'm sorry, I wouldn't want to be silly among this august group of profound intelectuals. What was I thinking?

-- Infidel (Barbarians@thegate.net), December 22, 1999.


Good work, Infidel. Was impressed you found the tin hidden in the kitchen cupboard. And your mum thought she was so clever...

Well, you're generous to give her a reprieve this time.

Thanks for the laugh. I like your style.
