I contaminated the soup?!

[Dr.Woo]

@Sanity Challenged

Was it quantum soup?

Nah. Primordial.

@Smeghead

Reminds me of one time when I was in the cafeteria at work. I was recovering from a cold, but I try very hard to be considerate about it. Anyway, I had my food and was walking to my table when I had to sneeze. Since my hands were full, I buried my face in my elbow - perfectly acceptable, since my mouth was at least as covered as it would have been if I’d used my hands. A lady who was walking at least ten feet behind me carrying her lunch said, quite loudly, “My food!” while glaring at me. She was obviously convinced that my cold germs had rebounded off my elbow and flew at her, mutating along the way into something much deadlier.

My wife observed the whole thing, and now “my food!” in a mock outraged voice is her standard response whenever I sneeze. Aaahhh…good times.

Coming from a man named Smeghead!

I guess I should mention the soup nut was one of the Doctors and this is the hospital cafeteria.

Psychiatrist? Anyone want to wager bets on that?

Auto, you know that you can chew peas, right?

[nashiitashii]

@Autolycus

Ever notice how often peas go through your digestive tract basically untouched?

You big weirdo… only dried cranberries are supposed to go through your digestive tract undigested. It’s so the Poo Fairies[sup]TM[/sup] can be amused by a fruitcake-like poo log.

Are the Poo Faeries like Poo Gnomes?

Step 1) Collect Poo
Step 2) ???
Step 3) Profit!

Yeah, and at least 3 people already have.

I laughed at each one.

Before I even posted anything, people were ribbing me. By that point, I figured I might as well enjoy myself .

Enjoying yourself is what got you in trouble the first time, remember?

@lieu

There’s a mystery shrouding the tureen?

Friend, that’s just wrong. {Say I as I scribble it on a small piece of paper and put it in my wallet.}

Not only is it acceptable, it’s recommended by Weird Earl himself, IIRC.

At least no-one’s mocked turtle soup.

[Maastricht]

That cafetaria needs little signs. " Pea soup" " Thai Chicken soup". Saves tureens.

As no-one’s fish-slapped you like a fool for this one, I’d better.

Bad lieu. Bad! Bad! Bad! :mad:

[Monty]

Malacandra,

Pssst. Don’t tell anyone else, but look at post #51.

[Anaamika]

Auto is like our little resident pet jester. Poke him and he shall make you laugh.

Auto, I’m pleased to see how easy-going you are about the ladle jokes. I have never made one, I’d like to point out, but that’s chiefly because I’m the one who asked you about it in the first place. :eek:

[Borborygmi]

@Monty

Malacandra,

Pssst. Don’t tell anyone else, but look at post #51.

Well, we should cut him some slack. Post #51 is, after all, the subject of much debate among scientists and people of faith. Malacandra may have thought Post #51 was a hoax. I mean, don’t crucify the guy.

[Malacandra]

No, as this is the Pit I’ll just say:

Fuck.

Carry on.

[Find_Friends]

@Wile E

You were lucky, if you had actually pulled the ladle all the way out and dumped the soup into a bowl, then put the ladle back in the tureen they could have called the food police on you for that offense.

Ladle?!

That was no ladle, that was my knife!

In the context of poking fun at Auto, that causes me to go :eek:
