The Great Pie Caper
WAY BACK IN '75, we got this bright idea one
night to PIE the RA in our dorm. Seven-Eleven provided a frozen pie; Jim Lackey's microwave defrosted it; and BillG provided the target. Everything went OK until the actual firing. We missed! Badly! Fortunately, the projectile pie wasn't damaged too much so we scraped it back into the tin and set out looking for a new target. DavidB had a girlfriend- Cindy- and she seemed like the perfect target. |
HERE's George being the decoy to get Cindy
outside into the target zone. |
She finally came outside, escorted by RHolmes
and DavidB. But our erstwhile shooter had second thoughts- it just didn't seem right with Cindy being a girl and all so the shot went wide and caught RHolmes instead! |
Fortunately, RHolmes understood and we all laughed about it later. |
