7. Baked my buddy a "Jimmy Hoffa Day Cake."

You have to keep in mind, I live and work just a few miles from where Jimmy Hoffa disappeared on July 30, 1975. There were "Hoffa digs" all over the place back then, looking for his body.

The other half of the back story - I used to cook and bake a lot and take "treats" into work.

One year on July 30th, as we were bothing punching the time clock, I said to my friend "Hey, do you know what today is, it's Jimmy Hoffa Day. To celebrate, I made you a Jimmy Hoffa Day cake." Kind of laughed it off. I thought he got "the joke" on the spot, since I wasn't holding a cake.

A few hours later at break time, he came in where I was and said, "hey, where's the cake?"

I thought he was joking, too, so I said "well, you know, you've got to find it before you can eat it."

Well, he went all over the place (several acres of garden center) looking for a non-existent cake.

Late on, I explained "the joke" to him -- he was kind of pissed at me.



I was a nice guy, though, I baked a cake and brought it to him the next day.

I don't work with him any more, but still talk to him a few times a year, and I sometimes still ask him if he wants a "Jimmy Hoffa Day" cake.
