Just Release The Coffeepot
Published Jan 01, 1900
At the data-entry company where I work, the other operators and I share a coffeepot. One morning I took it into the ladie's room to fill it with water. Then I began preening in the mirror, brushing my hair and reapplying some makeup.
I didn't realize how long I'd been untiil someone slid a note under the door. "You win," it read. "Any ransom demand will be met. Just release the coffeepot."
