This week Safeway started selling packs of Popits for the 4th of July.

While nobody likes free Comedians Dan figured his pranks and jokes
were best served up to enjoy himself without the blowback of getting
caught. At work in the Flood Plain management division of the Coast
Guard Dan carefully stretched the plastic to open his pack of popits
so they wouldn't go off in his hand. Rebecca was always easily
startled and Dan was already in trouble for overdoing his scare
tactics with "Becca" . He threw a couple popits behind Becca's desk
and onto the carpet. nothing. So tossed one onto Ben's desk since he
was out today. Nothing but it went right into a cup of old coffee.

This time he aimed for the window with the3 air conditioning vents
right below. BAM BAMBAM BAM some went off half way down the vents
that acted like a megaphone. Rebecca went off like a scary movie
scream. Now practiced Dan did two more. BAM. Rebecca is also
practiced and called 9-11 like the last time the Navy Yard had a
shooter in the cafeteria.


It was 3 hours before the shelter in place warning was rescinded.

For Dan reassuring Becca was more promising than than he ever
anticipated and finally wrangled his first daate with here.


His fortune cookie at Fuket read "tiny fireworks yield big results".




True story except for cookie. The Chinese restaurant name is also true in the DC area.
