    I have been mulling over starting a thread like this for a couple of weeks now and I am now at a point where I have some time to do it. I often find myself in strange or funny situations. Something crazy or hilariuos happens in my life on a weekly,if not daily, basis. I wanted to start this thread because I thought some of you might find these stories amusing and the things that happen don't really go in any other thread. So I am going to share them with you here. I hope to use a format like Rockhead does with the Photoshop the Image thread. I want to try and do one every week or so and have you guys share some of the funny things that happen to you.

    "Think Twice Before You Steal My Candy"

    For those of you that don't know, I work at an elementary school teaching computer classes. Often times i keep a can or cup filled with candy on my desk. I snack on it thoughout the day and when other teachers come thru my room I usually offer them some. I also have a good friend named Jennifer that often times just comes by and takes what she wants. As an aside, we are good friends and often she and a date go to dinner with my wife and I. At these dinners I have found out she cannot stand anything seafood or seafood related(this will be important later). She knows I don't care if she takes what she wants 1) because we are good friends and 2)because I think she is hot (she doesn't actually know this but it is true none the less). towards the end of last year I began to notic ethat my candy was disappearing faster than normal. I knew Jen was not the cause because she never takes anything unless I am in my room or unless she leaves me a little note on my computer screen. So I mentioned it to her and she said exactly what I said above. So on the last day of school last year I got a brainstorm on who was doing it and how to get them to stop. I spent all summer( ok it was only about 5 minutes) formulating a plan on how to stop the culprit. I decided that I wa sgoing to get a big bag of jelly bellies and put them on my desk. Now that probably does not sound like a good plan because they would just get eaten and I would never catch the theif. But mixed in with those Jelly Bellys I added 3 packages of the "Harry Potter" flavors of Jelly Beans. For those of you that don't know what I mean. Jelly Belly makes a set of beans based on some candy in teh Harry POtter books. Those candies supposedly have jelly beans of every flavor imaginable, even nasty flavored things. Some examples of the good and bad are, Black Forest Cake, Graham Cracker, dirt, Black Pepper, Spinach etc. I have tried all the flavors both good and bad and they truely do taste like what they are called(well except Booger,yes they have a Booger flavored one, and I don't really know what Boogers taste like but some kids at school say they taste like boogers. I'll take their word for it.) the worst one I have had honestly was the vomit flavored one. It was horribly nasty and I could not swallow it. Anyway you can probably see where this is going except for a littel twist. I decided if anyone wanted to steal my candy they were going to be in for a surprise. I have for the last week been eating around the bad Jelly Beans and waiting for some to go missing. So her eis the twist. I have had people in and out of my room for the last week admiring my Big jar of Jelly beans. Often I share with the teachers but giv ethem a warnign that they could get something they won't like. Most just let me tell them which ones to stay away from. However, I forgot to inform Jennifer of my plan. On Wednesday I was returning to my room from duty and I saw Jennifer running down the hall. At the time I thought nothing of it. Well 30 minutes later when it is time for her class to come down for computer, they all come walking in without her. I asked one of the kids where she was and they said "I don't know, I think she is sick." Well after there class was over Jennifer comes storming into my room infuriatede but also looking a little green. I asked her what was wrong and she said "What exactly are those jelly beans?" "Are you playing a sick joke on me?" Come to find out. She had snuck into my room and taken a hand full of candy. The first Jelly bean she ate was Sardine flavored. I just fell out of my chair laughing at her. She thought I had intended for her to get the sardine flavored one so she would get sick(which she did). I had to explain to her what the deal was and that I was trying to catch the culprit that had been taking my stuff. She finally laughed and I gave her some of the "ok" beans. Next time she will be more careful when she comes to my room to get candy.

    I have still not found out who has been taking my stuff but when I do they will be in bad shape.

    This might be a solution. Have two candy jars. One with good candy which will be out when you are in class, and one with crap candy...nasty jelly bellies, candy that turns your mouth black, pepper candy...go to a novelty store and stock up...that jar will be left on your desk while you are out. I have survived 10 years in a coaching office by being one step ahead of these guys and by making them think twice before they do anything to me. MAKE THEM PAY!!!

    She never takes any when you aren't in the room -- yet she takes a handful when you aren't looking, then comes back for more later in the day?

    I think you caught your thief. She probably just doesn't realize how many she's eating.

    FYI -- there's a kind of candy that temporarily dyes your mouth a different color. I'm not sure where to get it, but you can probably find it at a gag store.

    Dude, if you display candy on your desk in a container that resembles a candy jar then that's an open invitation for people to help themselves. If you don't want people to take your candy, just put it in your desk.

    So because some people lack integrity, this guy has to change his ways? The candies are in his class, on his desk.
    So if you have a nice stereo in your car, it's an open invitation for someone to take it. You can always leave your car locked in it's garage.

    Yeah and some are really good and some are really really really nasty.

    As a comment to the posts above. She isn't the one stealing the candy she has an open invitation to drop by anytime and get some(man that did not sound good :) ). It is happening after school so I kinda like Falcon's idea and putting in the mouth staining candy. I am almost positive I know who it is i just can't catch them. It is principle of it all. Not so much because i care if my candy gets eaten just that I would appreciate it if you asked before you took iit.


    And as I write this our P.E. teacher just came in and ate a vomit Jelly bean and I am about to pee in my pants from laughing at him. Now he is spitting it all over my room(they are that bad).

    No, I'm just saying that when you put candy in a candy dish the usual intention is for people to help themselves.

    I do understand that, but what I don't understand is how people can come in to his class when he's not there and take from his desk.

    True story here...
    When I was a freshman in hs, our athletics lockers were simply cubby holes. I would bring cologne so I wouldn't stink, and I would hide it in the back of my cubby behind my gear. Other guys would go through my cubby to get some...until I took and empty cologne bottle, urinated in it, and put it in my cubby. I put a warning label on the bottle..."Do Not Use"...Some guys still used it...after they found out, what could they say about it. They were the laughing stock of the team. I know it's gross, but something had to be done.
