Worked at a pizza joint, when a pizza would come out of the oven lobsided to too big and wouldnt fit in the pizza box, we would send the new guy in the back for the box stretcher. Which was just a piece of metal wire in the shape of a triangle with a side folded in.

He'd bring it up, and the manager would fumble around with it for a minute, thank the new guy, and tell him to put it back. Frickin hilarious. I loved doin that.

My Parents sent me out looking for Freedom, Equality, Justice and a woman who loves me for who I am. I’ve found some of all the items on the list but none of them in their purist forms. I have the veterans to thank for what I’ve found of the first three. I don’t know who to blame for the last one

At the pizza place, we always sent the newbie to the walk-in to retrieve the DOUGH REPAIR KIT whenever we accidentially put a hole in a dough ball that we were stretching. More than once, we exceeded 15 minutes keeping the joke alive...
