Mince Pie Revenge

Sometimes, the best revenge comes in (not-so-delicious) packages.  Consider the following story of a guy who got tired of his brother’s less-than-thoughtful approach to mince pies.  Mince pies are a particularly popular food item to be had around the holidays, when both the guy and his brother were home from school.

The brother was older and generally away at college—and ostensibly, college had not taught the brother how not to take things that were not his.  The guy got a package of four mince pies for Christmas, and put them in the fridge.  The next day, when the guy opened his refrigerator, he found that there were only three mince pies left.  Clearly, the brother was the culprit.  A little peeved, the guy told his brother not to eat any more of his pies.

Unfortunately, the message did not seem to stick—the next day there was another mince pie gone. At this point, the guy ate one himself, worried that he wasn’t going to be able to get to eat any of his present.  He also talked to the brother.  The next day?  Another mince pie is gone.

Upset, the guy took his last mince pie and pulled back the pastry, smearing a thick layer of extra spicy mustard on the bottom of it, and then pouring a generous helping of hot sauce over it before putting the filling back in.  Then he waited.  On cue, a few hours later, there was a howl of disgust from the refrigerator as the brother ran to the bathroom to spit out the doctored pie.

Keep the holiday spirit alive in the New Year by ringing it in with creative (and cute) revenge!
