Gullibilty Flashback - Flour Power












image credits appletothecore

Remembering where I was the night Elvis died caused a sudden Gullibility Flashback. As I mentioned I was working in a pie factory, a Pork Pie factory to be exact.

On the night shift it was customary to dissapear to the first aid room and catch 40 winks! You can imagine my shock when one morning the factory manager came in and asked who had been sleeping in the room as nobody had ever been caught before.

I denied it, of course, but found it hard to keep up the pretence when he showed me the bed. My job was in the 'pastry room' and so I got covered head to foot in flour. Gullible young me didn't realise that when I got up off the bed I left a perfect RR shape as evidence!!

The ultimate punishment in this twilight zone of a factory was to be banished to the 'jelly room'...nope not a room with wobbly walls, but the place where you filled the pies with a glycerine jelly to protect the meat...20,0000 squirts as day and you never sleep in the First Aid room again.
