Pie Fundraiser

*Inviting music begins in background*...Pie fundraiser....sounds yummy! Keylime pie? Dude, count me in. I'll buy one. Apple? Definitely.


*A turn in the tempo--the music picks up and you're getting a new twist*...But now, what if, let's say, that instead of buying that pie to eat it, you have to choose someone and throw it in their face? Hehe--ok, this could be fun. Hmmmmm, who's been getting on my nerves lately and needs to be brought back down a couple notches? ;) Yeah, this could really be fun now! Let the fundraising begin!!!!!


Oh wait! I forgot--the military is involved in this. *Music comes to a screeching halt* So instead of just saying "Hey! I'll pay $5 for that key lime to throw at him!", it's now become THIS:

"I'll pay $5 to throw a pie at B!" says A. Now the raising is between just A and B.

"Fine, I'll pay $10 to throw that said pie at A" says B.


This goes on til one of them doesn't/can't bid anymore. Funny, eh? Now, let's remember that this is the military and A is probably a Joe while B is his Platoon Leader or Company Commander (for those who don't speak military, it's like the worker who gets to throw the pie at his boss). Let's also revamp those pies....cause who wouldn't mind a chocolate pie in their face? Dude, if someone were bidding one against me, I'd let them bid the highest just so that I could eat the remnants off of my face! Why waste, right? Well, seeing as this is the military--here's what was in THOSE pies......


*DISCLAIMER*--NOT FOR THE WEAK STOMACH!!!!!! You've been warned....

How about some curdled milk, rotten eggs, sardines, olives, rotten bananas, and anything else that can go really nasty?

So friends, now the question is: How much would you pay to NOT get one of those lovely pies shoved in your face? Cause that was the question a lot of these guys, including Ryan, were asking themselves a couple weeks ago. :) If "A" said to you, I'll pay $100 to throw this pie into your face", are you going to let them? Do you have the stomach to let them? Or will you start digging into your checkbook and make darn sure that that reeking pie doesn't touch you? (And I guarantee that those things were absolutely N-A-S-T-Y).

So here was our fundraiser--and boy was it a successful one! I heard that some of those pies went for as much as $250! Hahahahahaha.

I believe this is the new First Sergeant aquainting himself with the Company Commander via pie in the face.

I felt so bad for him--it actually got up his nose and he had to be very careful NOT to breathe through it or he was going to start retching in front of his company.

Needless to say, it was quite a bit of fun (in a sick, twisted way) and it was quite successful. The unfortunate pie-in-the-face guys were able to hose down just on the other side of the building.

So here's another part of this story--what do you do when your 9 year old is attending this lovely fundraiser and is quite excited that pies are going to be tossed (not knowing what kind of pies they are). She so excited that she's going around and asking everyone to please bid on her dad so that she can see him get a pie.....

Yeah, Ryan's platoon likes him so he face remained clean. :)
