Interoffice Memo

"Envelopes"

Paying my bill at the doctor's office, I noticed
one of the clerks licking and sealing a large
stack of envelopes. Two co-workers were
trying to persuade her to use a damp sponge
instead. One woman explained that she
could get a paper cut. Another suggested
that the glue might make her sick.

Still, the clerk insisted on doing it her own
way.

As I was leaving, I mentioned to the clerk that
there was a tenth of a calorie in the glue of
one envelope. Then I saw her frantically
rummaging around for the sponge.

"Interoffice Memo"
(reportedly real, Snopes is inconclusive)

Subject: Mmm-mmn-good

A woman at our interactive advertising agency
had recently returned from her maternity leave
when she sent the following e-mail:

Whoever used the milk in the small plastic
container that was in the refrigerator yesterday,
please do NOT own up to it. I would find it
forever after difficult to meet your gaze across
a cafeteria table whilst having a discussion
about java applets or brand identity.

Just be aware that that milk was EXPRESSLY
for my son if you get my drift. I will label these
things from now on, but if you found your
coffee tasted just a little bit unusual this
morning, you might think about calling your
mom and telling her you love her.
