Sandwiches, anyone?
I was about 19 at the time, young and slender and innocent looking. A very good combination for being the front man, really... but I was smart enough not to do anything too shady.

So what did I do? I sold sandwiches to uni students.

A mate of mine had a sandwich shop that didn't do particularly well, so we struck a deal. He'd make up a load of sandwiches and put them in a milk crate with a load of canned drinks, then drive me to the dormitories. I'd get someone to let me in, then wander through the dorm with my crate and ask if anyone wanted to buy a sandwich and a drink. About the time I was done selling the lot my mate would be outside with a new crateful, and off we'd go to the next dormitory.

I'd cover every place on campus I could get into, and sometimes would even catch people between buildings. Nice clothes and a ready smile sell a lot of food to pissed-up students. At the end of the night I'd go home with a tidy chunk in my pocket and my mate's shop was booming. We did this on Fridays and Saturdays, then again on Wednesday. The students were well fed (we really did make good food), and we were profiting nicely.

That is, until I got caught on campus without a student ID and carrying a load of food into a dorm. The security types were less than congenial. Turns out that peddling on campus was rather frowned upon.

Arse. We were harming no one, and in fact made people happy!

Bastards.

(Besides, going through the girls' areas was a very nice bonus...)
