We used to play this game in college when staying in hotels. Calling room service and asking for the weirdest combination of things we could think of.

My favorite was:

Toothpick, Dixie cups and an "Earth, Wind and Fire" album.

How NOT to play this game

From 1up.com:

Quote:
In Milton, Georgia, three teenagers were arrested after several cars were firebombed with Molotov cocktails on the evening of July 24 (via WSBTV). The teens were caught when police pulled receipts from a local Wal-Mart and found one listing Sprite bottles, red rags, and lighter fluid.

Oh, wait. I'm a little late for that party, aren't I?

They can't even make Molotov cocktails correctly... It's a white rag and gasoline, you idiots!

I was kinda wondering what the expiration date on the Sprite was.

Hey, considering they seem to have been at least reasonably successful from the sounds of it, I guess they figured out they should be using glass Sprite bottles instead of plastic ones. Maybe the red rags with the green glass was meant to say 'Merry Christmas' - in August. If they had been 'clever' enough to use gasoline, the story might have been about flaming teenagers, as it's just a bit more volatile than lighter fluid and more likely to catch the thrower on fire.

I need to find the receipt for my last Wal-Mart trip, because I know 2 of the items where teabags and a USB drive, I just can't remember if that was the day I got handgun ammo or dish soap.

Nipple cream? What the heck is nipple cream and what do you use it for?
