Comments on: Pizza Luce Driver Shot on Central Ave. http://www.secretsofthecity.com/mnspeak/10465 Minneapolis + St. Paul Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:11:27 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: justpbob http://www.secretsofthecity.com/mnspeak/10465#comment-88827 justpbob Thu, 07 Jun 2007 14:42:18 +0000 #comment-88827 I was a pizza dilvery guy in college, too. My only real misadventure is nearly passing out behind the wheel due to carbon monoxide poisioning -- our warmers used burning cans of sterno, it was a busy winter weekend and the car was loaded with 3-4 warmers instead of the usual one. <br /> <br /> I stopped the car in middle of street and just staggered away to trip over the sidewalk. Other motorists just ignored me, and drove around. Was it "the stereotype?" Never thought about it until now.<br /> <br /> PS: Jason: check your work email, please.<br /> <br /> I was a pizza dilvery guy in college, too.

I got sent out with two pizzas, one to a trailer park off-campus and the other to a notorious off campus student "animal house". I vividly remember the manager who sent me on the delivery saying, "now, when you go to the trailer park, be sure to leave your car lights on & aim them towards the door where you're headed"...didn't instill me with a ton of confidence. It turned out to be uneventful, so headed over to the student housing...only to find that my next delivery was to the apartment of my stoner suitemate from the previous year. I never did make it back to the pizza shop. my stint as a pizza delivery guy in college for all of two deliveries.

I worry about subjects of threads coming here to comment. Then we have to stop being so snarky, right? Because if these stories are about actual people, instead of underlined names, that's different.<br /> <br /> Truly, I'm glad the pizzaman is OK. It's one of those jobs that are scary that shouldn't be scary. The pizza man should be like a U.N. relief worker. Off limits for the gunfire. I was gone most of yesterday and missed this thread.
