Default Food Fight

Meeting season used to last from about May to September each year with scientists arriving and departing just in time to make room for the next group. At the end of each week, it is customary to have a banquet for all the meetings participants to attend and relax a bit. Once in the 80s there was a food fight. Something went flying across the room and the fight began, a potato, a slice of cake, nothing and no one was sacred. At the end of the night the custodians had to sweep up and shampoo the rugs and get ready for the arrival of the next meetings participants in the morning. In an effort to reduce the midnight clean up for us custodians, I took precautionary measures. During the next meeting I hid-out amongst the tables, as the dishes were passed and the wine was poured and watched for the first sign of flying food. Once I spotted something, I dashed to the table from which it originated and removed everything immediately.
