43. What A Rotten Tomato!
My friend got me a job at a good place as a cook. After a week or two, he started telling me about the guy they fired before me, who I replaced. He had only worked one day and came in high, and wasn’t doing much work. As he was sitting there doing nothing, one of the managers was trying to make a side of fried tomatoes, but they accidentally got taken, and he had to replace them a couple of times.
After finally getting this plate ready to go out, the new guy reached over and grabbed a fried tomato slice, and ate it. This place was very strict about how many pieces of food make up a side, so the manager was going to have to fry another tomato slice. The new guy was fired on the spot. A few weeks later, he was charged with pouring gasoline on his girlfriend and setting her on fire, so I guess it was a good thing they let him go.
