I was in a pizza restaurant recently and we noticed that it could use a little maintenance. The wall of the booth we were at had a hole where a switch or outlet would have gone – except it was just a hole with exposed wires. I covered it up with a bright red piece of paper as a not-so-subtle suggestion that they at least put a $.79 plastic face-plate on it.
Two large sodas later I headed to the restroom. Just above and to the left of the urinal was a picture with the company’s first restaurant. Written in pen, in very small ink next to the picture, was the note, “Hidden Message” with an arrow.
Curious, I lifted up the picture – it was on a hinge of sorts – and saw the “Hidden Message”. I quote:
“Go to hell” with a crudely drawn picture of a penis.
I was disappointed and deeply amused. What a totally different world we live in. If it had been me – and if I was the kind of person to vandalize – I would have written the numbers from Lost, added GPS coordinates, and maybe some cuneiform or Sumerian.
The author really wasted an opportunity to be clever…
Anyway, I didn’t add to this. I just lowered the picture, washed my hands, and went back to the table.
In other news… I’ve been watching the Dilbert TV show on DVD. A few marathon sessions of that will give you a whole new perspective on work. Not a good perspective, mind you, but a new one.
So, Thunder(cat) hung out with me while I watch some TV and had a snack. We also played our version of “fetch” – which involves me rolling a ball towards him and him smacking it with a paw a couple of times. And then me fetching the ball and rolling it to him again.
Hey, he’s a cat
