I blame television. Food fights always seemed so harmless on Saved By The Bell and Full House.

Uh... Ok.
Man, I'm glad people weren't paranoid crazies when I was a kid. I know I'd have been a repeat offender. I winged an entire orange at a guy during the great lunch room melee of 1993. Luckily there was little collateral damage, and I myself got away with little more than jello in the hair. My buddy...I'll never forget her, God rest her soul, took half a tuna sandwich square in the back, she never had a chance.
