Question for October 25 - November 14, 1999:

Which would you rather be trapped in...

A room where people keep calling and asking you if this is Papa John's

OR

Papa John's?

 

Details:

  • There are two main prefixes in the town of Clemson: 654 and 653. Papa John's number is 653-PAPA. Well once I heard the story of this poor girl whose number was 654-PAPA. Her life was a nightmare. Especially on football game weekends.
  • Imagine a room where the phone rings continuously, and everytime you answer, people want to place an order for pizza. Any time of the day or night. Why bother to even answer it? Well one will be the call to get you out (like on the Matrix!)
  • The other option: You are trapped in Papa John's, in a cage. You can watch people work all day, but you can't have any pizzas. You can have little rice cakes though. Hey, you can even have those in the other room too.

RESULTS:

Not Papa John's: 6
Papa John's: 1

 

Well, Allison voted two times and Jean voted four times, with two DIFFERENT choices. So I did the only democratic thing and chose which votes to count.


Name: dev
Choice: NOT Papa John's
Comments: hey i could shut the ringer off and call papa johns myself and get me some pizza, ok its lame but i cant think of anything witty to say


Name: Cleophus T Jenkins (taylor)
Choice: NOT Papa John's
Comments: Well, duhhhhh. I could have anything in this room since you didnt give any specifics other than the phone. I'd just turn the ringer off and have fun!! WOOHOO<---(traditional southern party call). Yayy, i could have books, music, have pizza delivered to me(irony... irony... irony...), I could evern have girls over.... YAYYYY PARTY!!!! YAYYYYYY


Name: Allison
Choice: NOT Papa John's
Comments: Since Papa John's is my favorite pizza, being able to see it but not eat it would be torture for me. I'd rather be answering the phone. Sometime's it's fun to mess with people's minds over the phone, so it might possibly become an enjoyable experience! And hey, who can live without garlic sauce?


Name: Wheels
Choice: NOT Papa John's
Comments: I would try to mess with the people's heads. I would take their order and then when their pizza didn't show and they called to complain...they might call the real papa John's. And if they called me again I would tell them that for the mix up their pizza is on the house...and then I don't know...maybe I would buy a pizza and throw it on their roof or something.


Name: jean the french green bean
Choice: Papa John's
Comments: you know, it's funny that you should mention rice cakes! i grew up eating them and have developed an afinity for the snappy little snackers! it all started when i was 2 or so. it was discovered that i had idiopathic echzema (a skin disorder) and the doctor had no clue as to what caused it (hence, idiopathic...). So, he thought it might be certain foods that i was eating. I had to stop eating bread, drinking milk, and eating eggs. Sometimes I would sneak into the pantry late at night and sneak some of the forbiden items. Nothing like a spoonful of eggs at midnight..Anywho, who can think of a better substitute than rice cakes???!!! Well, the change in diet didn't solve my epidermal problems, but it did change my taste for rice cakes. I've eaten them ever since. Well, I forget the question, but I got the rice cake story off of my chest.


Name: Bonnie
Choice: NOT Papa John's
Comments: I'd turn the ringer off and the answering machine on so I could screen all of my calls. Then it wouldn't be so bad. I think if I was stuck at Papa John's I'd get pretty sick of the smell of pizza.


Name: Kevin
Choice: NOT Papa John's
Comments: I think that phone pranks are one of the funniest things in the world, but have always felt it is wrong to call people just to give them a hard time. Well here we get past that problem since they're calling me. After that got old, I would find out from someone what my phone number is. Then I would make a few calls myself, and track myself down. Then I would call some friends and have them come to my location and rescue me. Wala! The first escapable situation.
