MILWAUKEE - A pair of Milwaukee men said they have set a
date to make good on a promise they made one another in
1976 -- to have a pie fight at the age of 50. Dan Johnson
and Malcolm McDowell Woods said they made the promise at
the age of 18 while enjoying drinks and cheese fondue at
the old Captain's Steak Joint and now that they have
reached the landmark age, they are planning a formal
dress party for family and friends to fling pastries in
the style of "The Three Stooges," the Milwaukee Journal-
Sentinel reported Monday. "We talked about being immature,
and then we decided we should have a pie fight when we
turned 50," Johnson said of the October 1976 pact. The men
said they will be wearing tuxedos to Saturday's pie fight
and they are urging their guests to conform to the formal
dress code. They said neighborhood kids have been hired
to fill 500 plates with shaving cream for the event and
will clean up the mess after the final pie has been flung.
