Three coworkers munch cookies in an office and one coworkers begins to talk about the problem of big government.<br /><br />Coworker 1: “Did you her about how those assholes in Washington are trying to regulate school bake sales now. They say it is to fight childhood obesity. I mean those asses just screw everything up. They’re regulating our lives away!” Then she stormes out of the office with her cookie.<br /><br />Coworker 2: “It’s like a talent of hers. Like that three degrees of Kevin Bacon game. Everything goes back to the asshole government and evil Obama.”<br /><br />Coworker 3: “I find that argument actually hysterical coming from the person who limits the entire office to one pot of coffee a day.”<br /><br />Coworker 2 laughs: “Yeah, she is good at making sure you guys drink just that one pot.”<br /><br />Coworker 3: “That nonsense pisses me off.”<br /><br />Coworker 2: “I know.”<br /><br />Coworker 3: “I didn’t realize bake sales were a huge issue in this country. I don’t ever remember having bake sales at school as a kid.”<br /><br />Coworker 2: “Me either.”<br /><br /><br />Days later, after the holidays, a box of chocolates has been placed on a file cabinet. This is an understood share zone.<br /><br />Coworker 1: “Do you mind if I have one of these?”<br /><br />Coworker 3: “Only if you renounce the embargo you have placed on our coffee.”<br /><br />Coworker 1: “Do you have any idea how much that coffee costs?”<br /><br />Coworker 3: “It is an investment. It is statistically proven that the higher levels of caffeine in our bodies make us more productive.”<br /><br />Coworker 1: “Whatever.” She grabs a chocolate and leaves the room.<br /><br /><br />Not all that long ago, coworker 4, the new guy, makes a second pot of coffee. Ten minutes later . . .<br /><br />Coworker 1 to Coworker 3: “Did you make this coffee?”<br /><br />Coworker 3: “Yes. Yes, I did.”<br /><br />Coworker 1: “Well you better drink up.” She holds the pot in the air swirling the dark contents of the pot. “I’m going to be really mad if I have to dump any of this down the drain.” She says all this while maintaining an eerie false smile. Then she turns and leaves the room.<br /><br />Coworker 2: “Good job. Are you trying to start a war?<br /><br />Coworker 3: “Oh the war is on! Coffee Nazi is going down!”Kate Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826311771326897525noreply@blogger.com
