stay frosty
February 11, 2011
I try to stay frosty, as Corporal Hicks says in Aliens.
But sometimes stuff throws me off my game. Just when I need to be ON my game.
Like, today. I walk into the bathroom and encounter this:
Wouldn’t that throw you off your game?
So I hurry into stall number two, and begin. And in medias res, I finally look up to see that the giant cheese wheel roll is just about at empty.
I’m left with the dregs.
Talk about needing to be on top of your game.
Luckily I’ve had years of experience, including a couple years dealing with whatever they call toilet paper in the jungles of Chile.
I stayed frosty.

holy crap. your company has serious bathroom issues. i think you guys should look in to an egyptian type protest of these outrageous restroom conditions. i say again, holy crap. by the way, is it a carp in the crap?

Are you sure that this is not some sly man’s way of ensuring the executive sized stall will only be touched by their…cheeks? I mean, a live fish in the toilet? I am skeptic.

kj, nope. not sure of anything. your theory is as good as any i’ve heard.

Is the fish named Nessie? Because the folks in Scotland have been waiting for solid photographic evidence for years. I hope you don’t have to wait as long.
Come to think of it, some of the so-called photos of Nessie have turned out to be logs rising from the deep, which may likely be the same result at your office.

i don’t know the name of the fish. but it could be nessie.
i envision the end of this fish being kind of like what happened at the beginning of raiders of the lost ark.
remember when indiana jones was running down that cave, pursued by a giant boulder?
like that.

Especially if the “Tennis Shoe” dropper returns. Yikes.

Hey, i found some evidence for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIjstP2-ceM
A fish. Just when you thought you heard it all about your office bathroom. Tennis shoes, fish. Is there no end?

Is that some kind of strange Origami?
February 11, 2011 at 4:21 pm
of course it is.

So…you didn’t get a picture?

Since you are closest to the bathroom it should be your duty to stand at the ready at all times to get said photographic evidence. Or, just boulder the dang fish and get the wait overwith. Or, use your helmet cam and go looking in the deep end.

I think this is a set-up. Someone in your office is so worried you will run out of blog material that they’re throwing you softballs. And toilet fish.

jenn, you could be right, but remember these are the same people who threatened to make me pay for paperman if i touched him again.
i heard through the grapevine that someone in the building keeps a fish tank, and was disposing of some that had shuffled off their mortal scales, but that one of the deceased wasn’t quite all the way dead.
of course there’s only one thing to do in that case. go through his pockets and look for loose change.
