The photo today is of a very colorful three-tiered birthday cake. Lots of swirls, psychedelic flowers, and peace signs. It’s on a turntable. You can see a grocery store in the background and order tickets just behind the cake.

SWEET REVENGE

When I was a cake decorator in a supermarket, one of our managers, Dan, loved to sneak up on others to startle the you-know-what out of them. One evening he’d caught me off-guard once too often. On my break I went out to the parking lot to even the score.

The next day his assistant informed me that Dan ruined his white shirt by wiping icing off his hands in the dark.

“You’re in big trouble.”

About that time my store director approached me. “Did you really squirt royal blue icing under Dan’s door handle?”

“Y-yes.”

He grinned. “Good job!”
