And We've Got Popcorn, Too!

When our new office was being remodeled at work, my boss's boss decided to play a little prank on the company 'pres. He put together a fake requisition form that read something like this:

"In other to provide stress relief for the programmers and break up the monotony of their 14-16 hour days:

1 Foosball table
1 Ms. Pacman arcade game
1 Carnival-style popcorn popper"

He'd priced it all out and everything... it was grand. Apparently the 'pres looked at my boss's boss with shock in his eyes and said, "Are you joking with me?" "Yes," was the immediate reply, muffled with laughter.

Once the "joke" moment had passed, the 'pres let slip that our company actually *does* have a carnival-style popcorn popper, which had never been used.



One thing led to another, and now we have a carnival-style popcorn popper in our office. We fired it up for the first time yesterday.



Yeah, I know. We weren't exactly feeding the five thousand here. ;)
