Do I want to *know* what was kept in the old Pringles can? :)
Dan had one of those 20-sided ones that were just numbered 0 to 9 twice,
with red ink on half of them and black ink on the other half. He pulled
them out after years of non-use, discovered that the black really needed
re-inking, and did them with permanent pen and set it on a table in a
common area of the dorm floor to dry. Someone came up and said, "Hey,
what's this?" picking up the die he'd just done as several people
screamed at him not to touch it, getting his fingers all inky and
smudging the ink. Needless to say, *nobody* immediately involved was
amused, although someone snickered from the hallway. (Don't ever pick
up something when someone has just said, "Don't touch that!" And don't
ever mess with anyone else's dice or dice container without explicit
permission; this is the most important dice-related rule I learned in
college.)
