Addendum

This is an addendum to what I wrote about what's in my mind these days...

Another thing that's been making me laugh is something that my old co-worker John told me...and I inadvertently had a small hand in this as well.

One night when I was the closing stocker, our closing cashier, Brittany, John's gf, called me up about 5 minutes before closing. When I got up there, there was no customer, it was just Brittany and John's sister, Joy. Brittany says to me "Al, you're creative and a fairly evil guy...if you were going to mess up someone's really nice yard with something that hasn't been done before what you do?" I figured that she was joking because Brit's a real goody-two-shoes, so I said "Alka-Seltzer-I'd crush Alka Seltzer tablets, and scatter them throughout the yard right before it rains. Then it'll rain, and their whole yard will fizz. Plus all thgat alkalinity in the Alka-Seltzer will kill their grass." Brittney was like "Alka-Seltzer is alkaline?" and I was like "Duh...why do you think they call it ALKA-seltzer?"

So a couple of weeks go by, and one night as I am finishing the various closing stuff around the store, Brit comes over the intercom and says "Thanks, Al. It worked." And I thought "huh? what worked?" and then something came up and I didn't get to ask her what she meant.

Then another few weeks go by and John starts telling me this story from a few weeks ago. He had gotten off work one night, and he goes home, and sitting on the couch in his living room are Joy and Brittany. John says that they both have on camo pants, long sleeve black t-shirts, black gloves, black face paint, and black sock caps. John looks at the two of them, and starts questioning them
"Ok, what did y'all do?"
"nothing."
"Are y'all ok?"
"We're fine."
"Where've y'all been tonight?"
"nowhere".
"Are you sure?"
"Yup, just a boring night?"
"Seriously, who did the two of you murder tonight?"
"Seriously-nobody"

So the next morning, John's driving to work, and it's been raining a few minutes. John goes by the house where this girl lived who'd talked a bunch of smack about Joy and spread a lot of rumors. There's toilet paper in all the trees, eggs all over the place, yada yada yada. Then John said he noticed something truly strange-their yard was fizzing like a coke!
