RE: Help Stop Global Warming

Dear Dr. Yumonee,

Clearly you and I have much in common. I accept your offer and I shall have the refrigerators ready to receive your cash per your request. Coincidentally, I will be cleaning them out at 3:00pm this Friday afternoon and getting rid of all the unlabeled items. I find your offer to be as reputable as any I have received, and I am sure my co-workers will be more than happy to aid you as well.

Most Sincerely,

Charles R. Wheeler
Keeper of the Coolers

My plan is to have this amount of money delivered by courier to >>your refrigerators at 3:30pm this Friday so that it can be picked up by our embassador (who drives a taxi in San

Lost & Lost

Yeah, guys and gals, it appears that certain items have been lost and gone unclaimed in the fridge.

Let's see, oh, there's this container of novelty green fuzzy yogurt (mmmmm), and a nice hunk of cheese wrapped in aluminum foil. Look at these formerly fresh vegetables. And something over rice with no more something. Salad Aquariums and tupperware tye-dyed on the inside.

Hey, what's this baggy in the freezer? Hmmm, looks like tea. Smells like... [cough, cough, cough]. Yeah, um, if you want to claim your 'tea' it will be at my desk.

What else is in here? Man, what happened to all those bottles of champagne? I wonder if they put them in the server room with the other ones? Oh, was I supposed to say that? Oh well.

Seriously, I wanted to thank everyone for continuing to clean up after yourselves in the fridge. I've been keeping metrics on this, and you've made my job a whole lot easier and more palatable. Remember to eat your vegetables & keep up the good work!

3pm today, another episode of 'Homemaker Behind Bars', where your old and unlabeled food gets thrown out by real celebrities- live!

I Pledge Allegiance to the Fridge...

Being of somewhat sound mind and an unstable and deteriorating but functionary body we do hereby swear to uphold the ideals, values [sic] and honor of our venerable and esteemed refrigerators [hic]. This being shtated unequivicably and without reservation, um, yes, in the... I'm afraid I'll need another drinky winky and we'll have to begin again in order to ensure the correct and proper enumeration to secure this ratification... Drunk?! Me!? Why I can't imagine in a million years why tha, um yeah, over ice. My goodness young man, to even imply such degenerate behavior, at work even, that's shlander!

Let's begin here. 3pm? Isn't that a little early to be cleaning the fridge. Now don't break any of my bottles there, young man. What do you mean you'll throw them away if they're not labeled?! They're labeled! See, it says 'Coors'.
Oh, with MY name? Um, let's see is, ah, is Bill with two ells or one? Yes it's my name, but I'm just testing you there Mr. smarty pants. Sheesh!

How do they expect you to write on somethining that's roundy and slick like a nice cold bottle of, mmm, beer. Doot dah doot. Hmm. Maybe I'll just put them in a bag and hide 'em in the back of the fridge. Oh, well, look, somebody named 'Gap' beat me to it. Oooh! Grapes. I'll just have a leetle bitty grapey. Mmmmm! Huh? No, I'm shutting the fridge. I was just cooling off. S'too hot in here. Are these your grapes? Quite good if I don't say so myself. I, uh, I was just testing them for the fridge guy, because they're on the edge- could go bad at any moment. Okay, well, s'back to work...
