When I went to Jr. High who ever was in charge of food procurement for the school cafeteria must have got the deal of a life time on kiwi's and lived to regret it. We were served these hard green kiwi's with nearly every lunch and, of course, we quickly discovered that while worthless as food, they made wonderful weapons. Not only did kids throw them at each other at lunch, they actually stockpiled them for later use. After school kiwi fights became quite the rage for a while. The fun ended abruptly one day when my 7 th grade math teacher was hit with a kiwi in the head when he turned his back to write an equation on the blackboard. The kid who did it (a member of the schools fledgling JD wanna be's group) was sent to the principle's office. Kiwi's disappeared from the menu and no police were called.
