For the past 364 days
I have been collecting the little circles.
You know the ones,
The ones from three-hole punches.
I have asked my coworkers to to the same
And with nary a question
they have complied
With somber brows
and fearful eyes they've poured
into my styrofoam coffee cup
their punch leavings.

This morn at 6:47 AM
the hated engineering supervisor
leaving a trail of slime
emerged from his office to attend the
Morning Production Meeting.

I gathered supplies about me:
roll of scotch tape,
length of string,
and the cup.
I crept, nay...skipped
to his office door
to lay the trap:
String taped to
cup bottom taped to
inner top door jam
with cup resting above, lying
in wait for its one chance
to serve a higher purpose
than its brethren before
going to the landfill at the end
of the path.

And what a sight it was to behold, as the odoriferous fool returned from his meeting, shoved open his door, and was greeted by several thousand little white discs of paper raining down.  A higher percentage than I ever dared hope, which landed on his head.

And the and the downtrodden citizens rejoiced.

Happy April Fools

Hetfield, It is much more a sporting endeavor to persecute evil than it is ignorance. And I am nothing, if not a sportsman.

I, being one of the downtrodden, applaud you you sir.

Rejoice, rejoice, the odoriferous fool has been bombarded! Rejoice, rejoice, the strain of work impelled those to rise again! Rejoice, rejoice, the day has come! Rejoice, rejoice, the day of fools! Come look upon his head!

In the words of....some guy: BOOYAH! Way to go! I'll try to re-create a lame re-enactment (ala America's Most Wanted or Rescue 911) to give us a visual representation... ha! April Fools! 3 minutes to go...had to do it.

You think the 5th grader show is "Retarded" yet this brings you joy?

Its the little things in life that bring unsurpassed amounts of joy. At least it is only once a year rather than once a week, don't you think? :D
