Sometimes you are at work or school and things are slow and there isn’t much
to do. That’s when the real fun starts and as a line cook I knew used to
say “We gotta break the monotony”

Have some down time in class? Try stacking mini moo creamers. My classmate
Heather is the reigning champ with 13. Sounds easy but it’s not I can only
stack 7. I’m such a loser.

Slow at work… try to see who can get the most concord grapes in their mouth.
My friend K-Ron took home the grand prize there with 10, honestly a 6 I
began to fear I would choke to death, and then what would my parents think?
It’s not like I can explain when I’m dead.

And if all else fails…sing

While pumping out rum balls me and my classmate, Barbara, sang Baby got back
as the rest of the class just bopped to the beat. A few classrooms away our
teacher was dumbfounded as to why we were all bouncing around and came to
investigate and ended up with a good laugh.

But my most memorable time was singing Doin the Butt with Danny the line
cook. We both had been given busy work and we were just barley knocking it
out. Next thing you know he was singing and I was dancing. Just when we
were getting to the good part we were stopped dead in our tracks. Here’s
how it went and keep in mind 2 things

1) Danny’s voice is really deep and loud
2) I don’t really know the words to the song

Me- “Shake Shake shake shake shake something something na na ney OW!
Doin the but, oh yeah….sexy sexy…..
Danny- “That butt, That butt, that big old, big old……

GUYS! SHHHHHHH!

The owner’s wife, or Satan as I affectionately refer to her, came around the
corner because she could hear us across the store. I started to feel my
face get hot because I knew we were going to get yelled at but Danny as cool
as a fan turned around and said

We’re sorry. Just trying to break the monotony

To our surprise she said “ok” and walked away. So the lesson I learned that
day which I will pass on to you is

Wait until the cat is away before you start to play,
Still singing

    if you are talking about who I think you are talking about then danny handled that in the best way humanly possible. if the explanations got to long winded she would tear into you kiddy scissors into construction paper. I hate tea bag and big head.
