12/16/2001 Entry: "The Deadliest Pickle"

A few days ago I did a performance project with 5 other people that involved each of us eating pickles at various points in the play.

There were two pickle jars. One of the jars was fresh, which was the one we were going to be eating our pickles from. And the other jar was pure set decoration, and had been sitting in a warm corner of the theatre for a several weeks.

I carefully measured out the pickles, so there was exactly 1 pickles for each performer, no more, no less.

However, for many of the pickle eating scenes, I was backstage, unable to see what was going on.

After the show I noticed there was still one pickle left in the jar. I know we'd all eaten a pickle, so why was there one left over?

Somebody ate one of the old, stale, mouldy pickles.

I don’t know who it was, but I just hope to God it wasn’t me.

It's okay--pickles stay good a long time; that's why they're pickles.
