Someone could get hurt!

If you got hit in the face with a fast moving pickle, you probably wouldn't like it either.

I got hit in the back with a can of Coke while riding down PCH a long time ago. Hurt like a MOFO.

Thanks Vash. They were probably going 30. It could have been much worse.

They would have to be going about 25 or 30 mph at the most, for the pickle not to be blown straight back rather than flung away from the car, hitting the highway worker.

Banned but not out, yet..

Back in high school my bud and I would stop off regularly at McDonalds for Big Macs. We would remove the pickles and target idiot drivers and throw the green disks covered with mayo on their windshields and just wait for the wipers to come on making the best smears known to man. Ah 5he good old days.

This thread makes me think of my uncle Jack on December 7, 1941. He was aboard the Pelias, on KP. He threw potatoes at them, because that is what he had. He was peeling them on deck because even if it is December, in Hawaii you want to be on deck for that sort of work, if they'll let you. No gun, so used what he had. What is a potato going to do to an airplane? I don't know, but it could not do you any good to hit one going 200 mph. They were not shooting at him so much as the battleships, he just happened to be in the flight path, went by close enough you could see if the pilot was clean shaven.

Ever hear the joke about the guy that worked at the pickle factory?
He came home unexpected early one day looking sad. His wife, surprised to see him home so soon, asked what's wrong? He said he got caught with his penis in the pickle slicer so they fired him. She asked if he was okay - and why he was so distraught. He said he was okay, but they fired the pickle slicer too!

I thought 'tossing your pickle' was a euphemism
