Once upon a time a couple of centuries ago when I was a teen I got a one-day job selling cold drinks at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The event was a Dodger Baseball Game. It was before Dodger Stadium was ready-- It was a killer hot day. People were desperate for a cool drink. Many wanted only a cup so that they could get some water. We had to sell empty cups for the same price as a beverage because that was the way the company kept track of how many drinks were sold. Money was counted by the number of missing paper cups! Needless to say, that didn't go over too well with the customers. We worked fast and frantic. The demand was huge. I slipped on the wet floor and went down and the coke went straight up and back down all over me. Me, the consummate trooper, got up dripping and continued to sell as fast as I could.
I bet you got home and jumped in the shower pretty quick and breathed a quick sigh of relief unless you could grab one there! That would have been pretty nice of them.

What a great story Starrphyre! It's intriguing to me to hear how some of these puzzles strike a chord or trigger a memory. That's what makes them so fun!
