Subject: Pens Missing
Per Management,
We are ordering way to many pens per month, especially the "purple pens". We need to secure all pens. In the last two months, we have ordered over 24-36 pens. "
Then we had a walk through and everyone's pen holders were checked to see, in fact, how many purple pens each one of us had!
Here is how a conversation between my friend Will and I went on Instant Messenger:
Me ~ They came around and checked everybody's desk to see how many pens and especially "purple" ones each of us had.
WILL ~I assume you hid your "stash"
Me ~ You got it! BAHA! I have 3 pens in my pen holder.. Black, Blue and one sharpie! Good thing they didn't do a backpack check!
WILL ~ I should send an email saying that someone is smuggling out purple pens and selling them on the Sound Transit black market.
Me ~ BAHA! I will be cleaning out my back pack this weekend! No more contriband for me!
WILL ~ put them in someone else's cube set em up
Me ~ OoOOOOOHhhh good idea!
WILL ~ wipe off the finger prints

The milk carton picture of the "missing purple pen" is awesome!
Ordering 24-36 purple pens: $50
Wasting company time checking people's desks and cubicles for purple pens: $200
Hiding purple pens in your backback before magagement finds them: Priceless
For everything else there's debit/Mastercard. . .
I think this should be sent out again, but with an I in the word "pens" to make it look like "penis."
