Passing the Time


The other day, the section was working pretty hard. Everyone had their faces buried in work. I myself was stationed at the famous typewriter, adding some dates on some awards. I felt like I was crammed into the corner, sitting directly behind SGT Hanseling's work area. The desk was cluttered with awards that I had to go through yet, but there was something that felt out of place. A bag of marshmallows sat near all the papers I was going through. It just seems odd to have a bag of marshmallows lying around the office, let alone the desk where I'm trying to work. SSG Johnson noticed this bag of marshmallows as well. I think he thought it was pretty weird too.
"What are we going to do with marshmallows here? I guess we could use them with some hot chocolate or something."
Well, everyone recalled the time I tried setting the record for chewing 12 peices of bubble gum at once.
"Benes could see how many he could fit into his mouth," someone suggested.
So of course I agreed to do it. Everyone had to guess how many I could fit. That's just how we do things here, always betting on stupid things. Not fo rmoney, of course. For example, SFC Kerchal and SGT Hanseling had a little bet on how long it would take for the construction work near the movie theater to get done. I guess it's just a way to pass the time and add a little fun in the day. So we had about 10 people guess how many I could fit in my mouth. We had people guessing anywhere from 5 to 37. Kane was the closest though with 10, as I could only fit 9 in my mouth. Here are some pics of the crazy event.

that is right, I won the pool, and will win the bowl game as pool to knock you out of first place. And I really thought you could get one more in there.

See, and people try and accuse the S-1 section od slacking off or not working hard enough. All they have to do is look at the last picture of Beans spitting up marshmellows into a trash can to realize that the S-1 is ALWAYS hard at work. Haters. Bravo Benes, bravo.
