Homeless guy on light rail slowly covering himself with chocolate powder. Using the little scoop from the tin, scoop, dump it on his head, scoop, dump it on his head.
Most of it fell off onto his shoulders, but he managed to keep this little, conical, garden gnome hat of chocolate powder on his head.
I knew if I called it in, they’d stop the train and I didn’t want to be late for work, so I called them after I got off on my stop.
This was back during the anthrax scares and I didn’t want anyone thinking we got anthraxed or something.
“Hey, um, yeah, there’s this guy on the West bound train slowly covering himself in chocolate powder. If you find a bunch of brown powder on the train, it’s just chocolate drink mix.”
Our zoo is surrounded by a park. We were having a barbeque and playing baseball when we spotted a peacock strutting around the park. Three of us corral the the bird while someone runs to the nearest zoo entrance to tell them one of the peacock’s escaped.
Their response: “is it dead?”.
Turns out the peacocks escape from the zoo all the time. I always knew they were free range, it is pretty cool when you have to stop and wait for a peacock crossing, but it never occurred to me that they would wander out or be able to hop the fence.
Is it spelled Quick? In the US it is Nestle Quik or Nesquik
Verifying the spelling on those netted me this gem of an ad on DuckDuckGo (which means it’s probably time to pony up and pay for Kagi): Top 10 Nestle Quik of 2025 - Best Nestle Quik of 2025
Not linking to avoid driving traffic to them. If you’re really determined you should be able to find it.

“What kind of chocolate powder?”
“. . . I dunno, Nestle Quick? Does it matter?”
Lol like that’s absolutely vital info to have
That actually was the funniest thing about this…
Reminds me of this (unrelated) anecdote:

Someone needs to write a greentext on this
In my country, Quick is only strawberry flavored. The chocolate powder is called Nescau.

It was Quik for a long time, then Nesquik.
