The Day the Coffee Died

It was a dark and cool morning. The office was quiet as people made their way into work. Little did we know a mutiny was brewing in the break room...

I walked in to find two architects opening every cabinet, turning over every box.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

Architect 1: "Can you use paper towels as a coffee filter?"

Me: "You would be sorely disappointed."

Then reality set in: WE'RE OUT OF COFFEE FILTERS!

The receptionist was immediately alerted. And alerted. And alerted.

Tales began swarming about the good coffee being inaccessible as the frustration mounted. Jokes were told asking if an emergency shipment was requested, though I'm sure it wasn't a joke to some.

Meanwhile the lowly, regular coffee, with the built in filter, was brewing away ready for its 15 minutes of fame.

The underdog wins today!
