Daily Dagger #12: Because uncomfortable moments can be like daggers to the heart!

Amy told me this story, and it is so funny that I’m submitting it on her behalf. So, forgive me if I get any details wrong, Amy. But to clarify, I am writing this as if I am Amy.

This is weird, but I guess there is a pirate convention in New Orleans every year.  For that week or whatever, there are people dressed up as pirates all around town. So one night after work, some of my coworkers and I went to have a drink at a bar where my friend, Steve, works. Well, we were all waiting at the bar, and Steve wasn’t coming out so I decided to go back into the kitchen and get him. I walk in and there Steve is with a large group of pirates. They are setting up a group photo (in which Steve is included). Here is what happened: 

Steve: AMYYY, GET IN THE PICTURE!

Me: Uh…Okay, why not?! [walks to stand behind the pirates for the photo]

Steve: [whispering] Oh my gosh, when they count to three, lets squirt ketchup all over the pirates! [grabs two ketchup bottles and hands one to me]

Me: Alright I guess…

Photographer: 1-2-3!!!

[My arms shoot up with the ketchup and I flail around like a madman dousing everybody around me. STEVE smiles and poses for the picture…NOT squirting the ketchup. Then the picture has been taken, and I, alone, have splattered ketchup all over pirates who I’ve never met. I get really quiet and uncomfortable, but then all the pirates disperse and NOBODY mentions the ketchup.]

Me: Okkkk, time for a beer!
