I may have committed an act of vandalism, unintentionally
Years ago, in my other life, I worked for two years at a hospital in Rockford. I won't name the hospital, just in case there are still outstanding warrants.
I was a pharmacy technician.
This hospital had a school of nursing, and in the main hallway there was a flip board with pictures of every single graduating class of nurses.
Ever have Land o' Lakes butter? You know the brand....there is a beautiful maiden on the end flaps and on the front. She is kneeling and holding a pound of butter.
Somewhere in my perverted background, I was taught....or discovered... that if you pull the end flap off, carefully fold it up and cut the small carton of butter on the bottom and sides, you create a situation where if you lift that butter flap, you expose the maiden's knees. They look remarkably like boobs.
Again, I don't know how I knew that. But a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
I worked overnight with a crazy guy named Bob. In a fit of boredom one night, we were flipping through the display of graduates. And it hit me. I could take one of these native American maidens, exposing her knees, and slip it down into the class of '24. I was of the opinion no one ever looked at the pictures.
We worked a seven on, seven off schedule. I slipped the maiden down into the picture on my last night before a week off. Then I wondered how long it would take before someone discovered her.
As it turns out, not long. All hell broke loose on Monday morning. Whoever found it notified a supervisor, who notified a supervisor, who notified a supervisor. The entire case had to be taken apart and reassembled, a job that took most of the day and required two people.
For some reason, Bob and I were both suspects. But because we worked such crazy hours, no one actually asked us about it.
If they had asked me if I put the picture of the girl showing her boobs into the picture frame, I could have honestly answered no. After all, she was showing her knees.
The maiden never appeared again. At the hospital.
But bring me a Land o' Lakes carton and I can easily make one for you.
