Made people think that Chris L. is bald like me and my brother!
On a serious note, my parents gave me a cat toy for my cat one year that looked and felt just like a real mouse.
I used to work at a resaturant in Arlington at the time that had lots of older 20 year plus waitresses who hated my guts and never helped me out at work.
Anyhow, the girls there used to heat up their own desserts to give to the customers in a microwave. When a particular woman was giving me a hard time, I would wait for her to ring up a hot dessert, then put the mouse in the microwave while they were getting the coffees for the dessert. This was a quite effective tool, and believe it or not, actually made me quite popular with many of the waitstaff who I hated (I'm serious, they all turned out to be great after the ice was broken my Mr. Mouse).
Soon, I ran out of people to harass, and just started doing it as a joke. One day, my director of operations was talking to the general manager of the restaurant in the dining room (I had no idea they were there), when I decided to put the mouse in the microwave. The woman who saw it screamed bloody murder!!! My two bosses came running in and confiscated Mr. Mouse.
Later, two years down the road, I received a call from our controller who was extremely angry because he received a mouse in the interoffice mail. He took it as a great insult!!! Seems the old manager of the restaurant wasn't smart enough to spell my last name and had sent the mouse in via interoffice mail addressed to "Rick B."
He got a written warning for harrassment because I denied ever having anything to do with the mouse.
Served him right.
Rick
