GISHWHES cameo

Yesterday, while I was at work, three people came into the store. They had a clipboard and seemed somewhat nervous, which usually means asking for donations, so I avoided them. I overheard them talking to two of my coworkers, and caught the phrase “it’s a fake petition.”

By that time I was curious, and my coworkers asked for my opinion anyway (so rare!), so I joined in the fray.

Me: “What, *exactly* are you doing?”

Them: “It’s for a scavenger hunt.”

Me (thinking that if they were going to be disruptive because of some freshman hazing thing, they could find some other sidewalk): “Who’s putting on the scavenger hunt.”

Them: “Well, it’s for GISHWHES.”

Me: “Oh! Well, in that case, carry on. Go for it. Good luck, have fun, let me know how it goes!”

Them: “You — know what that is?”

Me: “Only the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen. Of course I know what it is.”

Best of luck to the team!
