Pillows

I was sitting in my cubicle watching my friends' band's video, wishing I was there instead of here when an IM popped up, saying, "Hey buddy, did you see that memo?"

I ignored it but then it popped up again. "Hey man, did you look at it, yet?" So, I went to my mailbox and opened the memo.

"We will be having a pillow fight at 4:00pm today. Those in sales are exempt but all other departments are required to attend. Pillows will be provided. It is important that you attend because sales are down. Team building will occur and you can go back to your desks when you are tagged-out. The last employee standing will get a gift certificate to TCBY."

I got mad and then excited and then mad again.

At 4:00 I showed up for the pillow fight in the conference room and everyone yelled, "Surprise!" and then ate me.

Brownies

Once there was this guy who loved making brownies. He used to eat what he made until he made so many he got sick of eating them. So he put the brownies in bags and gave them away. Although he had a lot of friends, he made too many to get rid of. So, he started giving them to strangers. Some accepted but most refused because he was a stranger.

Soon, he had brownies stacking up inside his kitchen and then the living room. When they reached the bathroom he stopped making them. But somehow they were made without him. The brownies kept appearing. He looked around the kitchen to see who would be making them without him and found nothing.

So, he sat down and waited and waited and waited. Then, he slumbered sitting down. When he awoke there were brownies all over, so much so that it looked like a log cabin in his house but with brownies instead of logs.

He started making blondies.
