I heard no trashbag, and it cost the hotel about $3,500 to replace the shower and plumbing. And no more cons at that hotel.
I definitely remember a trashbag, and no shower, just PB rubbing off on everyone else's costumes, mundane clothing, etc.
I suppose it is possible that two great minds had much the same idea . . .
Where/when did the peanut butter incident you heard about occur?
