New Disease discovered at Shakespeare's Pizza

You have heard of Ring Worm and Ring Rot.  Well here at Shakespeare's Pizza a five year old kid, named Kiddo Littlemouth, was playing with his dough ball when he looked up and discovered an employee with an scary red ring around her face.  When asked what was wrong with her face she sadly looked at him and told him "its the onions kid, just the onions." 

What causes an onion to act as a tear-gas bomb? Well let me give you the details.  "There are juices and chemicals inside the onion's tissues; when your knife breaks the onion's cells a certain compound becomes airborne as a fine mist. This compound is called propanethial-S-oxide, which is a type of sulfoxide. When the misty droplets encounter a wet surface (your eyes or nose membranes) it dissolves into a form of sulfuric acid, which is understandably irritating to your sensitive organs."

Now that you have had the scientific explanation of crying over onions here at Shakespeare's Pizza we find using goggles the most effective method of containing those tears.  Rachael (pic) demonstrates the fine use of this wonderful gadget.  So next time you come to Shakespeare's Pizza look for the "Ring Face" and don't be scared.

   

Ring Face at it's worst.

Birthday Magic

Satisfaction comes in packages too!  Look what Google Alerts brought us the other day. 

     Happy Birthday to Grace!!!!!!!!!!  Look at August 8, 2007

One of my many talents is packaging the mail orders.  August 3rd was a hot day, and the closest packing material was out of sight, but next to my rolling chair was a box of skirts, a product we took off the shelf, tried to clearance, but still no one would buy.  In went a couple of skirts to protect the $5.00 glass .  Thank you Grace for the laugh and the pictures.  Happy Birthday!
