The Legend of ‘FLING’
Hmmmm, ok time to tell a PizzaLife story. In our store we have a Hobart mixer. On the shaft of the mixer is a pin. It’s the thing that secures the dough hook once you put the Hook on the shaft.
Well, our pin was loose, in fact when you went from mixing the dough to grating the cheese you have to set the speed from 1 to 4. At the higher speed if you did not remove the pin… it would FLING out, hence the naming of the pin ‘FLING’. When whoever was doing the grating did not remove ‘FLING’ and put him on the tray we keep the oil on…’FLING’ would fly.
One day when I came to work and was about to make the dough, I noticed ‘FLING’ was missing…not on his tray. Hmmmm going to be hard to make the dough today without ‘FLING’.
We looked everywhere, under the tables, under the ovens, ‘FLING’ was lost! When the Boss came in and we talked over the situation, it was surmised that ‘FLING’ had prolly ended up in the Dumpster after whoever closed swept the floor and emptied the garbage.
So my boss had me go to the Dumpster, look for the possible bag that held the captive ‘FLING’ and attempt to recover the little guy.

We succeeded and being a Musical kinda pizzaguy, I wrote a song about it and put it on

You can go listen to it now..if ya want …
